Rolling Stone's Top 100 Guitarists
http://www.rollingstone.com/news/sto...all_time/print
There are plenty of these out there, but I'll post the Rolling Stone one, because its definitely more controversial
(We had a Top 50 Metal Guitarists, but not a Guitarists in general thread...plus I posted this just because I want to know who Joe thinks is the greatest guitarist of all time)

Has their list been updated in the past couple of years? I can't pull this article up to see them all.

Fixed, I think. Confused me for a few minutes too.

Well, i can tell you now that Cobain was a inovative song writer but nowhere near a great guitar player. At least not at #12, same goes with Johnny Ramone. No way do those guys top players like Harrison, Townsend, Blackmore, Reid, Winter, or Van Halen. Not too mention a slew of others. lol

That's why I posted this one.

I cannot get behind Johnny Ramone at #17. No freakin' way.

Brian May at 39 with Cobain at 12?
BS
Shooting oneself in the head does not make you a great guitar player. Great songwriter yes, guitar player... meh

Well, as bunk as parts of that list are, I have to agree with Hendrix, Clapton and Robert Johnson in the top 5. . .
Robert Johnson was just amazing. Especially considering that nothing even approximating his approach was around before him. Like Hendrix, I often wonder what he would have accomlished if he hadn't died so young. They were both so revolutionary.

You have to love the stories and the myths that surround Johnson as well...
Robert Plant is utterly obsessed with him. I think he even owns the land around the famous crossroads in Clarksdale.

The stories/myths are definitely part of the mystique, and it's hard to completely separate that from the actual music and playing. It's still pretty amazing what he did, in basically just a years time on the music scene before he died.

Sorry MB, that is a shit list. I know it's not yours so don't take it personal but it sucks.
Eddie Van Halen at #70?
^V^
I think this list favors ranking from a more commercial standpoint.

I know. That's why I posted it instead of Guitar World's Top 100...because there was less to argue on their'sSorry MB, that is a shit list. I know it's not yours so don't take it personal but it sucks.
Eddie Van Halen at #70?
