When Gilmour didn’t make the top 75 on their 100 all time best list, I refused to acknowledge the existence of that rag. 12 bucks?

They’re clueless. But they do have Derek Trucks in there, and thats a plus.

“12 bucks?”

Kind of funny that a publication undoubtedly run by those who think Obama’s ‘socialism’ message is great are price gouging like this.

Anyway, I agree that these kinds of lists of the ‘greatest guitarists’ etc. are generally a joke. ‘Great’ depends on what parameters you're talking about, and what your personal tastes are. Technically excellent and incredibly versatile - Steve Howe comes to mind. Great overall musician, songwriter, and capable of making the guitar emotional - Clapton comes to mind. There are a ton of people out there who have made a mark and moved the instrument forward. These lists are there to lure people to spend $12. Having said that, I'm curious what the article said..

No Eric Johnson or Steve Vai on their top 100 at all. Nor Al Di Meola. Or Steve Howe. Adrian Belew, Monte Montgomery, Martin Barre or Joe Bonamassa. Instead, the "I know one riff but run it through different effects pedals" Edge cruises in at 38. Their list may have been voted on by musicians, but apparently those musicians don't listen to much outside of their original influences.
