My thoughts exactly. It just gets so ridiculously bland over time.

Oh my. Lists like this make me wonder about the people who voted on them. There are many absolutely amazing players on this list, but I can't take a list too seriously that has Kurt Cobain, Steve Jones and The Edge, but doesn't have Steve Howe, Steve Morse, Steve Hackett Steve Vai(the saintly Steves). To name a few!

Prince is a very good guitarist.  Top 50?  No way.

This list seems to be the most influential.  Not the most talented.  That's why Hendrix makes it to the top every time.  I have friends who play better than Jimi ever did.

Also, #26?  Bullsh*t.  That guy isn't that great a guitarist.  Come on.

Also, Steve Howe is even a huge Gibson player.  Not on the list.  Therefore, f**k this.

It's not even most influential, Epignosis, it's "most well known on the classic rock radio stations"

Hmmm....let's see....Steve Howe, Peter Banks, John McLaughlin, John Goodsall...the list is quite endless!

I do agree with some that Prince is one hell of a great guitarist, but I wouldn't have included him on this list.  

More media blather, let thee not be troubled.

Why do we even still care about these lists? But I would rather listen to this 
 
than anything from the top 25, if not the whole list, so I guess I'm more removed from this than most.

Don't get me wrong, there are guitarists that deserve their spot on the list, but seriously.  Jack White at spot #13?  What a joke.

Then again, we can't be too critical of this list.  Like I said, it's mostly a popularity contest.  Prog isn't exactly the most popular genre, and as much as we all want Robert Fripp, Frank Zappa, and Steve Howe (who I am legitimately surprised isn't on this list) to be in the top numbers, not everyone is a progster.  More people would cry foul if that were to happen than with the current list.

But then again, if people like Jack White, John Frusciante, Kurt Kobain, and The Edge can make this list, where the hell are John Petrucci, Steve Howe, Kirk Hammett, and Alex Lifeson?  Hell, I bet Steve Wilson is a better guitarist than a lot of people on this list.

Exactly : where the hell is STEVE HOWE ??????????


One of my best achievements in life was to find this picture :D

My question: Who the f**k cares? Why are we getting all whiny about someone else's useless, stupid opinion? We know we're right and we also know that we can't convince the article that we're right so why try? Just keep going on knowing that you're more intelligent than a magazine and enjoy life.

Top lists always leave me at the bottom so to speak.
Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

The fact that Keith Richards is infront of Fripp, Zappa, Gilmour and B.B. King, is quite a joke...
