[My Favorite Headache]

Over 300,000 votes were cast...these were the results...I only report them! You have to remember...this poll was conducted in light of so many players being left out of the RS list. The one thing I was happy to see was NO Kurt Cobain or White Stripes in the Top 10 or list at all.

This is a Guitar Magazine and I think their credibility is a bit more than 30 writers for RS.

Anyone got a link to the Rolling Stone list?

This is a Guitar Magazine

Uh-huh. For kids who think a guitar is a prop in a hair-and-make-up-band lifestyle.

I remember one time looking at that rag, and there was a "guest tutorial" from some be-permed girly-man who had "discovered" that -- holy smokes! -- you could play the "blues" (relative minor pentatonic) scale in positions other than the first. I mean, like, there's notes in this scale, dude, and if you, like, think, there are notes in that scale all over the, like, neck. (Except he did it with a lot of John "F" Kerry expletives).

I thought, "how extraordinary, Holmes" and resolved not to buy that again. Mind you, if it gets kids interested in playing music it's got some good in it; the talented ones will grow out of their guitar-strap-at-full-extension phase, and one in ten thousand of the untalented ones will be on the cover of the magazine in a few years, given the right hairdo....

d.o.l.

I never thought Kurt Cobain was all that great, but Jack White? Come on he is good. Especially on the songs that are more blues based. And with The Raconteurs with someone who can drum.
