Rolling Stone wouldn’t know “good” if it hit them in the face, even though Hendrix was indeed good. I wonder if Rory Gallagher is even on the list . . . ? I’m sure Ritchie Blackmore is on there, but probably behind Jimmy Page and Kurt Cobain . . . (and of course they have to quote bums like Tom Morello, who makes Johnny Ramone seem like Eddie Van Halen)
the top 10 is available to look at. I like Rory a lot. The RS list has famous people on it. And no one since the 1970s.
You’d think there’d be better guitarists in the last 35 years, but I really can’t argue this list too much.
Wow, heh. I recently pulled out and listened to my old 'Tattoo' album. Rory was indeed terrific.
