How did Django Reinhardt do? I guess if it isn’t rock ‘n roll and its not amped, I doesn’t count.
I do not think that Rolling Stone is aware that Jazz exists.

I’ve tried to read the entire list, but RS wants me to subscribe. They can “Dream On”.
Well, this is Rolling Stoned, so I’ll wager that they have never heard of Andres Segovia or Ana Vidovic.

You’ve got it! Django, Doc Watson, Charlie Byrd and Andres Segovia never even existed!
(Nor did Charlie Christian, Les Paul, Chet Atkins, Kenny Burrell and Wes Montgomery — even though legend has it that they all used amps!)
You got it pal. It seems most of the people on this forum think music begins and ends with loud rock and roll. I can't stand Hendrix, but there are rock guitarists I like such as Clapton and Santana.
However, there are thousands of other guitarists in other areas of music who I would rather listen to than a screechy rock and roll guitarist who knows about five chords and can only play at earbusting levels. On one of these greatest musician ever threads I mentioned that I like George Benson. Some poster seemed incredulous that I could like a great jazz guitarist over some overloud rocker. A lot of Freepers need to listen to more kinds of music and get out of their little rock and roll shells.
