me? i dont think so. talk to me about 90s music and i can be somewhat intelligent ;)

These record store clerks need some sort of certification exam.

Dead Milkmen,
right?

do i get my fucking card back yet?

How can you trust a list that doesn't even mention Elliott Randall?

Elliott is probably best known for his riveting guitar solo on "Reelin' in the Years". A solo considered by Led Zeppelin's Jimmy Page to be his favorite of all time.

guess not, you didnt ask who he was….damnit i am having a busy day at work.

i'm looking at allmuic and robert quine did most of the studio work for matthew sweet… i believe ivan julian, also of the voidoids, often went on the road with matthew sweet in place of quine.

the editing on this list is pretty piss poor… i'm like who the hell is 79 Cliff Gallup of the Blue Caps (1997). turns out the Blue Caps were Gene Vincent's backing band, before i was born i might add :D , and Cliff Gallup was a major influence of Jeff Beck. still it would be nice if they had listed Gene Vincent or Richard Hells name in the listing. i'll be turning in my rockabilly card today…

look, most people that come in a record store cant even spell. even if i had the wealth of information and knowledge as you and rhett, i would use it maybe once every 3 weeks. so i wouldnt really worry about it :)

seriously, has Jack-off White been around long enough to merit a #17 ranking?

They should title it "100 ROCK guitarists with the most name recognition", although what's Ali Farka Toure doin in there? If you're gonna just say best guitarists of any style, I think the top guys would have to be classical guitar players

Sorry, no one is more deserving or more absent than the jazz greats. McLaughlin at #49?? No Al Di Meola, Django Reindhart, Marc Ribot, Bill Frisell? And, in an unrelated genre, Kevin Shields at #95? Puh-lease.

Agreed with the Scientist that Johnny Marr deserves a spot too.

ZAKK fucking WYLDE…enough said. bleed black label!

If Johnny Marr is not in the top five, it's just proof the list is a load of bollocks, like any other list that comes out.

Neil Young!!! I'm a fan, don't get me wrong, but hardly one of the great guitarists..

Lou Reed…same as Neil Young.

Carlos Alomar! I didn't see him on there either, he should be top five also.

.

Don't get me wrong…I love Johnny Ramone, but he's NOT top 100 material! If it was the 100 most INFLUENTIAL then maybe I could see that. Where's Bob Mould? He's a hell of a guitar player.
