I agree, but the list is the greatest guitarist….not greatest rock guitarist. I love BB and his music. He should be in the 90’s…..not top 10. This list is fucked from the beginning……I would love to sit with the person or persons who made this list and slap them silly. How can you put a bunch of no namers and folks who wrote 3 cord songs be in front of EVH? Eddied (like it or not) took us (the listeners) in a new direction in 78. He is one of the most influential guitarist of our time. He should be in the top 10……Malsteen is not on the list, neither is Paco De Luca. Who has played for 30 years beside John McLaughlin.
My list top 10: (not necessarily in this order)
Jimmy Hendrix
Eric Clapton
Jimmy Page
Eddie Van Halen
Randy Roads
Chuck Berry
Joe Satriani
Joe Pass
John McLaughlin
Ingwie Malmsteen
This, of course is open for interpretation…..just like this 100 best from Rolling Stone.
