Keep in mind the source. The Rolling Stone is largely responsible for some of the insane honorees that are in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Is Gaga inducted yet?

He did all that in 27 years on Earth. Nostalgia my butt.

BTW, it, great to argue guitarists in the Political Forum. Usually it's political crap that gets dumped in other forums.

White was doing a few things Jimi never touched. He only made it to 29 along with spending the first half of his career not even playing electric guitar. Eddie Hazel equaled anything Hendrix did, IMO, albeit without as much quality output. He lived quite a bit longer but he spent the majority of his career on the needle and too drunk to create.

I'm not as up on music as others are like Dink or 69, but there's probably a pretty good argument to put Hendrix at #1.

And you honestly think Gilmour over the greats like Chuck Berry and BB King? C'mon, I'd put Carlos Santana in the top ten before Pink Floyd.

Carlos should definitely be top 10. I think Clapton was much better than Hendrix though. Jimi was something special though, that's for sure. Nobody can phrase like Gilmour. I'd walk a hundred miles to hear him play scales. Santana is close, but I am biased and I LOVE Carlos. When he won the Grammy for Smooth, I chuckled and thought it was about time the morons that give those awards recognize what he has been doing for 30 years. BBK and CB were special, no doubt, but I don't really think their skills are all that special. blues is blues is blues. Just my opinion.

The list was missing a few notables imho. Like I said, Al DiMeola, Steve Morse. Kerry Livgren from Kansas should have been there. Pat Simmons from the Doobies. Steve Vai. Joe Pass. Frank Marino. Joe Satriani Oh here's one... Stanley Jordan. That man does things with a guitar that are magic.

This is fun. It is taking me back aways and making me think of some of the old groups/players I haven't thought of in awhile.

If you don't know who Al DiMeola is, here is a concert with John McLaughlin and Paco DeLucia. It's long, and you don't have to listen to the whole thing, but if you listen to about 4 or 5 minutes you will hear more notes from those three guys than in an entire Ted Nugent concert. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W3BzAKHCEvo

Here's a video of Stanley Jordan. Not my favorite song that he did, but you can see his skill on the video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NeooHiX4oH0 Skip ahead to about 2 minutes and watch him play 2 guitars at once.

She's getting a lifetime achievement award I am sure in the next induction ceremony.

BB King was blues for sure, but as an inspiration to the future generations and making a guitar the central part of a song he is unparalleled.

Chuck Berry, IMO, led the charge in rock and roll and pushed it into American mainstream. I'd agree with Ape it's probably the historical nostalgia keeping him in the top 10. But again, as an icon and forerunner of rock and roll, he deserves his place in history.

Oh, no doubt. And he will always be legendary.

Here's a couple more.

Nancy Wilson underrated imho
Eric Johnson.
Pat Metheney

And good call on Gary Moore whoever said it.

The more I think about it, the list is totally ****. We can argue the order, but they left off some real notables.

I'm the one who brought up Gary Moore. Anyone who wants to see a better version of Cream, go to youtube and listen to BBM ( Bruce Baker Moore). There are some live concerts. The group consists of Ginger Baker, Jack Bruce, and Gary Moore. Same group as Cream with Moore instead of Clapton. Clapton couldn't carry Moore's jockstrap, IMO.

I was saying that about Hendrix, not Berry. Berry is largely underppreciated. I agree with spaceghost, he's nowhere near some of these guys in skill, but he was incredibly fresh when he came around. And he played the electric guitarvl like it was a damned mandolin. He and Doc Watson are icons and two of the founders of their respective guitar types..

The Edge. Cobain. Joni Mitchell. Johnny Ramone. Bruce Springsteen. Jerry Garcia. There's a lot if fiction in that 100 Greatest Guitarists list.

At least they managed to include Chester B. Atkins from Luttrell, TN... but they leave Andrés Segovia off of the list? Stupid list.

Garcia was a better banjo picker than he was a guitarist. And on banjo...some might call him adequate.maybe.

Grateful Dead, Jerry Garcia, and Rolling Stone were all born in San Francisco. That's all you need to know. They probably think that Cuonzo Martin is a Top 10 basketball coach too. I don't see anybody from Lynyrd Skynyrd on their list and they might have three (SG, AC, EK) in the top 100. The Rebel flags probably offend them.

They created that abomination called "Sweet Home <shall not mention the State>"

They deserve no credit, no recognition and certainly no props from a UT board.

Muscle Shoals is practically on the border. Maybe TN can annex that part.

At least SHA don't make no mention of football.

However lots of Socialist and Communist entertainers are getting credit, recognition, and props.

One of my favorite singer/songwriters is a self described socialist. (Steve Earle)
I prefer his work when he was on drugs, and the time directly after his shift to sobriety. Once he started trying to write directly political lyrics, he lost that magic as a writer, IMO. He was always a lefty, and his earlier songs reflected that, but in a much more nuanced fashion. He was, however a supporter of the NRA prior to being in jail.

Clapton should have been #1. Gilmour #2, and Hendrix #3. Curt Cobain? Really? I didn't know endless raunchy power chords warranted a top 100 guitarist ranking. He shouldn't have even been on the list. And John Mclaughlin at 68? ugh. Where was Steve Morse and Al DiMeola?

That list was ****.

Also Derek Trucks and Carlos Santana in the top 20? Not even close. The list was absolute garbage.
