Yea, sorry Rolling Stone is fucked. Its a pop vote which is a valid as American Idol. Seems they like to idolize whos dead. Duane Allman is nearly irrelevent and certainly not #2 and BB doesnt rate above Stevie, Johnson or Clapton and I love BB but he just does his BB thing. Cobain does not belong on there if they went clear to 1000. I dont think Hammett bares any stronghold, most all metal players in his prime time had far more tastefull solos. Keith Richards, Jerry Garcia, Johnney Ramone, George Harrision, Dave Davies ? I mean come on already. At least 20 if not fifty of them dont belong on there. At its best it is a 50 noteworthy guitar players. Like Glen Buxton, Brian May, Peter Green, Knofler, Garcia, Allman, Bloomfield, Page ect. not the hacks that all the girlies fell in love with like Kurtie baby
I wasnt aware that Lou Reed even played "guitar", I dont think he is either but the two that played on Rock and Roll Animal were great early rock jam players.
If I was editor of Rolling Stone I think I would have skipped this idea. Goes to show who buys Rolling Stone ... not musicians. THey really sucked in the 70's too when most of these people you see mentioned were playing. Rolling Stone was most likely bashing them in favor of the return of the Beatles, Monkeys and Hermins Hermits ................ YIKES! Pop Pop Pop
