corporate rock magazines still suck

All you need to know about Rolling Stone's 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time is that Fripp and Zappa are #42 and #45, and Kurt Cobain and the nitwit in the White Stripes are #12 and #17.

If only they'd at least had the decency to say Greatest Rock Guitarists... i mean, hell, where's Andrés Segovia, you know? And where the fuck is Adrian Belew, anyway? I mean, it's nice they included Robert Johnson, but #5? The Edge and Tom Morello ahead of Brian May? It's small comfort that Kim Thayil managed to sneak in at #100... Fucking Rolling Stone. They'll lull me into giving them a shred of respect, then they put the American Idol cockmaster twins on the cover, and now this.
