100 more reasons why the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (aka Rolling Stone Magazine) is dead to me?
Neil Young and Keith Richards in the top 20 and Alex Lifeson is at 98!?!?!?!?!
Farking idiots! They are so clueless it's disgusting.

I'm not in a mood to go through a 100-page slideshow, can someone tell me where Stevie Ray Vaughn landed?

Okay, he's #12. Trade Eddie Van Halen at #8 with SRV and you've got it right. NO WAY does SRV belong out of the top 10.

Eddie and Stevie belong in the top 10. Alex deserves to be in the top 25.

Half of the guys on that list should be on a top songwriters list. Not a top guitar players list.

Knowing Rolling Stone, just be thankful they didn't list Justin Bieber just because he plays a little guitar.

A complete waste. I understand giving props to some of the pioneers, but they could never hang with some of the modern players. The "voters" obviously never listened to the guitar work on Rush's Hemispheres. Actually, most guitarists from progressive bands were ignored, which include some of the most technical stuff around. I guess they never listened to any Dream Theater CDs.

Old thread alert. New shitty list from Rolling Stone magazine.
Top 250 greatest guitarists.

I think they do this just to feel relevant and piss people off.

I posted the link from another forum, because opening links from RS takes forever to open.

Mister scotch, I too am really surprised to see Joni Mitchell – and Sister Rosetta Tharpe – in the top ten. I'm also surprised that Carl Perkins was way down at #156. Perkins, perhaps best known for Blue Suede Shoes and Honey Don't, recorded Matchbox in December 1956 and it was released as the B-side of Your True Love. The song would be recorded in 1964 by a British group called the Beatles. Here is Perkins performing Matchbox live on an early episode of Tex Ritter's Ranch Party, a syndicated country music program filmed at Old Town Hall in Compton, California. It aired weekly from September 1957 to January 1961.

I haven’t looked yet, but I’m already pissed off.
