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.

the Edge at #5? jesus fucking christ. i have to go slash my wrists now.

did they at least have the decency to put Richard Thompson on the list? how about Charlie Byrd?

No, they put Robert Johnson at #5 and The Edge at #24.

Richard Thompson is there, but Charlie Byrd isn't.
