Some very questionable names, some very questionable placements and some pathetically bad glaring admissions.

I came across this yesterday through a Rock Beato video, he was absolutely baffled to.

Garry Moore
Yngvie Malmensteen
Mark Tremonti
Buckethead
Where the hell are they?

 

[Lemmy_kilmister]

Absolute horse-sĥıt.

When people like Danny Gatton or even Brian Setzer don't even make the list, there's 0% credibility in it.

I didn't even realise Brian Setzer wasn't there, what an absolute disgrace.

It's alright though, it's common knowledge that Jack White is better than Brian May
Oh and Josh Frusciante is definitely way worthier than Dave Gilmore

 

[Lemmy_kilmister]

No Tommy Tedesco
No Glen Campbell

Took a small morsel of comfort seeing Jerry Reed is in there.

 

[Ingleby_Flash]

They got no 1 correct, the rest, as said, is a croc.

 

[grumpyoldgit]

Saw this a while ago and looked for Bill Nelson. He's not even on the list. A waste of time.

 

[Centralscrutinizer]

In my little world Rolling Stone has always been the least credible music publication for reviews etc.

 

[BlindBoyGrunt]

Django Reinhardt forty places behind Neil Young? Nah.

Jerry Reed has always been a guitar magazine favourite

Chicken picken ala 'the claw'

 

[Mr_Fridge]

At least Nils Lofgren is on there

These lists are pointless. That said, the top 4-5 are about right.

John Lennon being in it is silly. He’s not even my level.

Also, what’s with all these dual entries? It’s stupid. Kirk Hammett is better than James Hetfield. Just have Kirk Hammett.

Stopped looking after saw Neil Young was at number 30. Not as technically gifted as some above him but definitely better.

I don't get how Roxy Music's Phil Manzanera is included but not Neii Hubbard who's an amazing guitarist

Maybe it's because he's not officially a member of RM but that shouldn't disqualify him

 

[Cardiffdaffs]

Itsn subjective. WE all have our omissions - mine is Zombies guitarist Paul Atkinson.

 

[mercury_redstone7]

Its just click bait, music press newspapers magazines and websites are dead.Especially the old mainstream ones.

 

[WJH.]

It's quite obviously an American list.

Graham Coxon and Bernard Butler would have made a British one as would Carlos Alomar, John Squire and a few other omissions

 

[borolad259]

Haha .... comedy. Joan Jett better than Bert Jansch, Mark Knopfler and Mick Ronson FFS

And Dolly Parton should be right up there.

And Bert Weedon and Hank Marvin

Never heard of Garry Moore. But Gary Moore is an excellent blues guitarist. Solo and a bit with Lizzy and one or two with Phil Lynott (Parisian Walkways).
