Kurt Cobain is number 12? Not that I dislike the guy, but there's just hundreds of better guitarists.
I try my best to ignore these lists, because they're useless and based on nothing (except maybe for the artists' popularity at the time of edition). |
That list of guitarists is terrible. I don't even know where to start.
How the hell is Eddie Van Halen at number 70? Or Angus Young at 96? Van Halen should be in the top 10, and Young no lower than 30th. Kurt Cobain and Jerry Garcia are
not better guitarists than Eddie Van Halen, Carlos Santana, Tom Morello, Mark Knopfler, Angus Young, or Kim Thayil, just to name a few...
Where is Chet Atkins on that list?
