Are we talking “of all time”? Surely Les Paul and Chet Atkins deserve a place at the top, even if they were not best known for their albums.

Just ask any of those guys on that list, Eddie VH, Robert Plant, Eric Clapton...they’ll tell ya.

I think that is the issue with some that are deserving and not on the list. A lot of great chops, but not a full album really.

I’m not really sure about putting a Chuck Berry’s greatest hits on the list either. Seems like cheating.

I believe this was a poll by Gibson for only 'guitar albums', not guitar artists, and in doing so Gibson has been fair with the listing - even including many who are famous for playing Fender and Gretch (Atkins) but not including one of Gibson's most famous players - Les Paul !

All in all, with only a few minor disagreements, it seems like a fairly good listing of guitar albums
