(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.

Agree. Edge is just one of those players that when you hear any song you immediately know who it is.

But Hendrix not in the top 2 is ludicrous.
