These lists are always funny.

No, it's supposedly an all inclusive list... Fahey, for example, was definitely not a POP or ROCK guy... not even close.

Lifeson 98-**** Rollingstone-they are abunch of Rush haters-Always have been Always will be.

They are on the board for the Rock and Roll hall of Shame as well-**** them all-they dont know shit about good music!!

Lifeson is a clear number 1.

Yep Bruce and paul Simon are better guitar plays-LOL what a joke!!!

He should be ranked higher, but number one? Yeah, no.

Randy Rhoads Fuc#ing douche bags , stupid list

Clapton number 2??? Slow hand has Always been Way over rated. Thanks to the British Press pimping him for years as God.

It's all personal taste, but I'd put Page and Beck interchangeably as 2 and 3. For me, Clapton could be somewhere in the double digits of this list.

Can't wait for the All time Best drummers list that leaves off Neil Peart.

Rush just shoved there noses in it with Live in Cleveland-so this was R S response to it-pure and simple.

Mr Big had some superb musicians.............
peep game..............

All lists are bullshit if you don't preface them with any criteria.
Also, any guitar player who has a modicum of technical proficiency will be greatly offended by many of the names on this list.

Well, that's cool. He was an interesting guy, actually.

I didn't read the entire list ... just scanned it.

I guess it makes sense that the Rolling Stone would make a list made up primarily of rock guys, though ... since they're a rock magazine and all.

This. It sounds like more of a popularity contest than actual guitar skills. Though JH at #1 is where he should be.

When I was teaching guitar in the mid 90's I had a couple of 10 year old students who could easily smoke Kurt Cobain. Why aren't they on this list.:shrug:
