Barry Bonds is a bad example IMO, but I understand what you are saying anyways and won't get into it.
However, not everyone equivilates Steve Howe to guitar genius, in fact,
very few do as not many people know his name. Most people understand
the name Jimmy Page and Jimi Hendrix, not Steve Howe, if you get my
drift.
I know exactly what you are talking about about the kid who plays a
mean guitar, cause that was me about 3 years ago. I'm sure I'll learn
more and think I am an idiot again 5 years from now, who knows, I might
be even stronger about certain aspects of my opinions.
I didn't write much for CTTE because well, it has about 500 reviews,
mine is a small part of the picture. For an album by a band like 65
days of static I was more careful about my review becuase it was the
2nd one for the band, and I realized it would have a bigger impact than
a review for CTTE. However, in the future, I will probably be ensuring
that my reviews have more substance to them, as I was approached
earlier about my DT review, basically because I didn't give the album 5
stars.

I like Howe's style and that is subjective but he was voted "best" guitarist five times in a row by Guitar Magazine and he is also the only "Rock" guitarist to be voted into the guitar gallery of greats.
Anyway, these forums are a good place to sound opinions and I enjoy that.  |

Those guitar magazines are usually horrible and have no idea what they are rating on.
If you were to take a serious look into the guitar world, half the
people they list wouldn't be in those magazines and you'd have a
diverse display of guitarists.
Ill take Bumblefoot as an example of a criminally underrated guitarist
who will never get his praise because he isn't in a famous band.

We can agree to disagree and of course there are undiscovered musicians by the boat load everywhere. Jon Anderson once said that there are some really good bands and even some better than we are (Yes) that will never see the light of day.

The threatened ToT review is online... Enjoy it to the fullest, my dear DT fans! Next in line - the dreaded "Once in a Livetime"...  *bash, bash, bash*

When I buy it, which is highly unlikely for the time being... I'm already spending oodles of money on records, but at least I listen to them. With DT, I have to force myself to listen to them, and I only manage to get to the end with great effort.

I suggest not to bother wasting money for music you don't expect yourself to enjoy.

TfTO wins this easily, considering all the mediocre stuff DT has turned
out. However, if it would have been TfTO vs. Images and Words only, I would
have voted for the latter.
