The list of guitarists left off the list may actually be more impressive than those on the list! Well maybe that's a little exaggerated, but with players like Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, Ritchie Sambora, Al DiMeola, Warren DiMartini, Zakk Wylde, Slash (My personal favorite), Joe Perry, Yngwie Malmsteen, Jake E. Lee, Bonnie Rait (Argueably one of the best slide players ever), Paul Gilbert... Hell, if they needed a female player, that looked hot in leather pants, I'm pretty damn sure Lita Ford not only looks hotter than Joan Jett, but could play circles around her, and Jennifer Batten may not be all that hot but sure as hell burns Jett and Ford, and probably most of the men on RS's list. What about blues legends Albert King and Muddy Water? Perhaps Johnny Winters? And I agree Chuck Berry should be #1, he ain't better than Hendrix, but hell, in my opinion he was the first rock n roll guitar god, he made the electric guitar the main attraction in rock n roll! Nooooo, instead RS sticks Jack White and Kurt Cobain, and other questionables, on the list.
That list is a complete joke... Van Halen is aregueably the second most influencial guitarist of all time (Maybe even the most if you consider that the entire generation of guitarists after him were essentially copying him) and he is closer to not being on the list than he is to being in the top 10. It's disgusting.
