What’s In A List, Part 2
Friday, May 30th, 2008
Wow, that Rolling Stone list of the 100 Greatest Guitar Players from 2003 sure pissed a lot of you. I don’t blame you, either. It really seemed like something that was put together to cause a controversy rather than be an educated assessment of a guitar players impact. On that note, I thought I’d share with you my top ten favourite guitarists, along with what I consider to be their defining guitar moment. Remember, there’s nothing scientific about this one - just my own personal opinion. Take a look, give me your feedback and your own personal picks, and then use guitar as your weekend bonus code.
1) David Gilmour (Pink Floyd) - Comfortably Numb
2) Eric Clapton - Layla
3) Jimmy Page (Led Zeppelin) - Heartbreaker
4) Keith Richards (Rolling Stones) - Jumpin Jack Flash
5) Steve Howe (Yes) - And You and I
6) Pete Townshend (The Who) - Who Are You?
7) Eddie Van Halen - Runnin’ With The Devil
George Harrison - Wah-Wah
9) Pete Townshend (The Who) - Who Are You
10) Derek Trucks/Warren Haynes (Allman Brothers Band) - Rockin’ Horse
Yeah, I cheated on the last one 
Your turn.
