Rolling Stone Magazines Top 100 Guitarist ever. Kim from Soundgarden is #100 which is good to see but come on Kurt Cobain #12 at (one better than JERRY FUCKIN' GARCIA?!) and Iommi at 86? No Prince.....and most importantly no inclusion of McCready or Gossard?

Worst list ever compromised on.

    I think it's been discussed before on here. Read David Fricke's review of Avocado. He explains it.

    rolling stone has sucked for a long time. if it was done by scientists in white coats with beakers and bunsen burners and blackboards and fizzing purple liquid, we know the true results

    Here you go:

    That's not just rock-critic shorthand. However you define grunge music, Pearl Jam didn't play it. They were, from jump street, a classic rock band, building their bawl with iron-guitar bones and an arena-vocal lust that came right from Zeppelin, early-Seventies Who and mid-Eighties U2 (with distortion instead of the Edge's glass-guitar harmonics). But Pearl Jam have not been this consistently dirty and determined in the studio since they subbed for Crazy Horse on Neil Young's 1995 Mirror Ball. I own two complete tours' worth of Pearl Jam's official-bootleg concert CDs, and this record's five-song blastoff ("Life Wasted," "World Wide Suicide," "Comatose," "Severed Hand" and "Marker in the Sand") is right up there in punch and crust with my favorite nights in that live series (Seattle, 11/6/00, and New Orleans, 4/8/03, to name two). And whenever the guitars take over, which is a lot — Gossard and McCready's slugging AC/DC-like intro to "Life Wasted"; McCready's wild wah-wah ride in "Big Wave"; the way he cracks Vedder's gloom in "Parachutes" like heat lightning — it reminds me that Gossard and McCready deserved to be on our 2003 "Greatest Guitarists" list. Permit me to admit it here: I screwed up.

    I put the bold on there.

    Yeah, it's pretty sad.

    I am constantly amazed at how much praise Cobain gets. I mean, him being ranked higher than Jerry Garcia is a f'n joke. Anyone who knows music and anyone who plays guitar knows it's a joke and therefore de-legitimizes the list instantly!!!

    Garcia had more talent in his turds than Cobain had in his entire body!
