these and others ahead of Eddie VanHalen (#70) and David Gilmour (#82). Edge could have been a little closer to the top as should G. Harrison!!
What a load of crap!

i saw Jeff Beck and BB KIng at wolftrap the other nite…it was a really good show
I didn't even know that kurt cobain played guitar..i thought he just carried it around with him on stage like Bono, but could not actually play…
this is a pretty dumb list

The notable absence of Yngwie Fucking Malmsteen discredits the entire endeavor.

yeah, the list sucks
I guess Les Paul couldnt have been any better than 46, even though 1/2 of that list probably played his guitars!
Tom Morello, Eddie Van Halen, and Gilmour were also robbed.
But its nice to know that Ike Turner is a better guitarist than Van Halen, Gilmour and Randy Rhodes. go Ike. what?

yeah, he did make a bunch of noise, and he was accompanied by this annoying female
bb was amazing! i'd always wanted to see him play…very cool

Who are the voidoids?
What a question.
Richard Hell and Tom Verlaine were friends and formed Television together. Hell left before Television recorded much or got famous. He started his own band Richard Hell and the Voidoids. Their first album blank generation is a corker. Songs off of it often seem to be played before shows.
Why is there no Johnny Marr of the Smiths?

Seeing as I'm a humble alt rocker, they really should have handed it to my main man Lee Ranaldo.

No, Richard Hell and Robert Quine are two different people. Was it Quine that played with Matthew Sweet? Or was that Ivan Julian?
