Michael Schenker is missing too.
From a folk/folk-rock guy: Glad to see Richard Thompson there, though 19 is way too low for him. But where is Martin Carthy?
Now that they’ve discovered VH-1’s secrect formula, look for lots more bogus lists coming from Rolling Stone.
Agreed.
However, I will give mild props to RS for sticking D. Boon of the Minutemen on the list. Though frankly I’m not sure if even he would crack my own top 100 ( RS sticking him at #89 is realistic, as far that goes ), unlike Ginn he truly was a great punk guitarist and not an exceptionally well-known one.
That’s about all the props I’ll give RS, though. It truly is pretty weak list, overall.

Woo hoo. Zoot Horn Rollo made the list.
As did Ry Cooder. One thing you have to say about Beefheart … he had some damned good musicians working behind him.
