Yea Steve Howe is a great guitarist, but if you watch some of their concerts, he can't (or at least doesn't) really improvise. Either way, the man can pull of some of the most complicated riffs of all time!
no suprise jimi hendrix won..... hes so over-rated its untrue.
and why is the dude from the white stripes in so high? he is crap compared to many of those players, and dimebag darrel and john petrucci are not even on the poll.
whats up! you guys taken a listen to the Rave ups doing "Smokestack Lightning."? these guys are amazing, just like townshend only better, imo! anyway its pretty much the coolest tone ever. they're in you tube! - there's some theraveups video on there.
George Harrison above Mike Bloomfield??? Give me fuggin break!!!
Mike should be in the top 10 to be sure. Some of the guys on this list couldn't carry his guitar case.
LOU REED is a better guitarist than Todd Rundgren???!!
It fascinates me that a "music" publication like Rolling Stone is so ignorant about music...WTF do they have against Todd, anyway? They won't nominate him for consideration to be in the rock and roll hall of fame, not they he needs to be validated by that ridiculous rag, anyway...
This list was biased toward classic rock and seemed to favor fame over actual talent. Not the worst list I've ever seen, but there are too few names from the last twenty years and almost no names from Heavy Metal (I mean real metal, not Hard Rock or Glam).

In terms of technical ability and ability to compose good guitar tracks, more than two-thirds of the people on this list couldn't even share a stage with the likes of Steve Vai, who's not even listed. Or Joe Satriani for that matter--how can you ignore him?

In terms of influence, Cobain is more deserving than a lot of people on this list. His style of playing may not necessarily have been the first of its kind, but for a lot of people who first started playing music in the 90s, Cobain was preaching a new gospel with his strings. You have to look at who was on the board making the list. Pretty sure I saw a lot of Cobain's contemporaries (Billy Corgan, the guy from Weezer) and a lot of people who got their start just as Nirvana was getting big.
