Don't knock the punk rock! |
Thats not knocking it thats what punk was all about, remeber what Frank Zappa said about punk in Tinseltown Rebellion "...The band had to be more punk, so forget your chops and play real dumb or else you'll be sunk."

well its Rolling Stone magazine.... they've condemned some of the greatest bands of all time to bad reviews
this is a really bad list to say the least, i think the greatest guitarists ever can't be put on a list, it really depends on WHAT you're looking for, and most people are looking for completely different things. This list is just some highly paid, stuck up music "professional's" opinion....

Kurt cobain in number twelve?
I just puked.
I pretty much dont agree with any of the ones in the top fifteen, except SRV! |
Just remember that often a qualifier is the influence that they've had. Cobain will never match such overly successful (I can understand why) guitar guys like the beloved A Holdsworth. But let's face it, Kurt got more kids into playing a musical instrument that Good 'ol Al ever did. And some of both camps grow up to be great musicians.
For another example, please read my previous post re : a certain John, Paul & George.
|
Or inspire kids to shoot themselves  |
Er, please replace the "shoot themselves" comment with a different kind of shooting that, say, certain jazz idols like Miles Davis, Charlie Parker, John Coltrane did for a good part of their career. Then dismiss their music because of their defects.

Fortunately, as we now know, Zappa was often wrong on many a musical topic. And of course, as with many of his witticisms, they were flung without consideration of their overgeneralization. Wouldn't it be fun for traditional Jazzbos to give Frankie's jazz incursions a review ?

I wonder if I could use that last line when arguing with some of the elitists that populate these pages ...

well i mean.... i think its a crappy list... some people don't
and i hope someday to make money for making lists such as the one up for discussion  we all have our own little twists and turns when it comes to music (any many other things).
so more power to the author.... but for shame (((( )))) for making such an obnoxiously poor list on such an obnoxiously (assumedly) high pay roll!!
