(Donning flame-resistant suit) I think The Edge should be on the list.
I mean, take a Yngwie Malmsteen? Is he far better technically than the Edge? Sure. Can he play a lot faster? Sure.
But can anyone name or remember a single Yngwie Malmsteen song? Will anyone remember him in 50 years? No. Leaving aside how people feel about U2 and Bono's politics and how cool it became to hate U2, the Edge has an instantly recognizable "style" and contributed to a ton of memorable songs.

Jimi Hendrix is not in the top 5?

The thing I remember about GTR was the fact, that at the same time, all five members of the classic Genesis lineup had a hit at the same time, Gabriel with "Slegehammer", Mike and Mechanics had "Silent Running", GTR with "Heart..." and Phil had a hit, and "Invisible Touch" had just come out, so that got Tony into the mix. I don't think even the Beatles have ever accomplished that feat.

Haven't they ever heard White Cliffs of Dover???Or "Zap!" Nothing like putting the old car radio up full blast for that one.

No mention of Frank Zappa.Clearly, world-class composers were automatically disqualified. And the unkindest cut: no mention of Dorothy "Dot" Wiggin of The Shaggs.
To: Wumpus Hunter
Kath is who I was looking for. (I think he'd've shrugged and said, "Figures.")
No Brian Setzer, either.
Dan

Good eye.
No SRV, now i really hate this list.
I would compare him to Jimi.
Before the crash I saw him in Dallas, It was awesome.
To: My Favorite Headache
I didn't see Ronnie Montrose on the list.

You are the ONLY person who has ever mentioned one of my favorite songs/videos from my youth--"Silent Running" by Mike & the Mechanics. Man, that vid was just so weird, but cool. :-) Now if someone would just throw out "Midnight Maniac" by Krokus, I'd time-warp completely.

No Chet Atkins....No kidding! I doubt many on this list could keep up with Chet in his prime.
And what about the father of electric guitars.. Les Paul

Everybody learns from somebody.
Another example of that...Jimmy Page and Steve Clarke. Always wearing the strap too low. :)
