Agreed. Although as a child I would get him confused with Pat Travers.

Most underrated rock-era guitarists: Jeff Baxter (especially the Steely Dan stuff), Terry Kath (Listen to the first two Chicago albums), and George Harrison (he played for the song, not to showboat).

Kurt Cobain on the list? ROFL

I’m a bassist, and I play guitar better than he does/did. He was a joke.

Having a popular band and killing yourself shouldn’t get you onto a ‘best of’ list.....

I'm glad Rory Gallagher was in there.

WAAAAAY too low on the list, in my opinion though.

Any list is not right if Carlos Santana is not included.

I didn’t see him on the list.

Speaking of John Hiatt, Ry Cooder’s work on Hiatt’s “Bring the Family” was outstanding.

From their website:

“Check back each day this week, as we reveal 10 more of the greatest axe slingers in music history, with the Top 10 arriving on Friday morning.”

What a bunch of website/blog whores! We are supposed to check back for four weeks? No Thanks!

Playing it now! Leo Kottke should be on this list. Too many old blues musicians

I haven’t looked at the list but I’m sure Eddy Shaver ain’t on it. Best guitar player I ever saw.
