Besides leaving off Malmsteen, Satriani, and even Vai, what Ted Nugent??? He'd knock the socks off any of his competitors in a live jam (literally). If you include Neil Young, then you have to include Frampton. And how about Gary Moore too? If you put them old farts on there, might as well add Steve Miller too. Some fine solos and how about everyone from Lynyrd Skynyrd (Gods of Southern Rock)?
I agree a top 100 is hard to do but some of these are so far off it's like RS was trying to be PC. An argument can be made that since Nirvana killed metal, there hasn't been any good guitarists since.
Also, if you add Chick Berry, then you have to put Buddy Holly up there too.
