Just watched a PBS thing tonight w/ Stevie Ray Vaughn Live & heard about this Top 100. WAY TOO MANY obvious ommissions on this list!!!
The most glaring is Zack Wylde who is clearly top 5. Other prominent names missing from this list are:
Slash
Alvin Lee
Billy Gibbons
Joe Walsh
Dime Bag Darryl (hate the vocalist but this guy is incredible)
Wes Montgomery (an old name)
Steve Vai
Jerry Cantrell (how can you put the Tool guitarist on the list and exclude him?)
Dave Mustaine
Robin Trower (a lesser known player that deserves more recognition)
Glad to see Michael Bloomfield in the mix. Saw him live about 15 times. One of the greatest blues guys in the 1965-1975 era.
Be sure to check out the Eric Clapton Crossroads Guitar Festival on DVD. Some great performances and a few surprises, especially John Mayer, who may emerge as one of the best over the next couple of decades.
My vote for #1..... Clapton, without a doubt. Throw out all that '80's crap that he did and dig into the real meat of his work, BLUES, and there is no denying the genius of this mans talent.
