SPIN's 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time

Worst. List. Ever.

Definitely the worst list ever!  They missed a lot!!!

Randy Rhoads
Yngwie Malmsteen
Eric Johnson
BB King
John Bonomassa
Joe Satriani
Steve Vai
Mark Bonilla
Vinnie Moore
Patrick Rondat
Joe Perry

And that's just a few that only took me a minute to think of.

Those 'pickers' at the Spin rag need to put away the doobage before they spew and publish!

No list of so-called greatest guitarists can be complete without Hendrix leading it off.

One of the few on that list I'd agree with is the edge.(position might be lower but I think he should still be quite high)
Just my 50 cent.

Kirk Hammet certainly places in the top 5. He is just fucking electrifying.

You can tell by the choices how old the writer of the article is... not very.

here's some more to add to the mix:

Jeff Beck
Lee Ritenour
Roy Buchanan
Stevie Ray Vaughan
Gary Rossington
Steve Gaines
Allen Collins
Albert King
Chet Atkins
Jerry Reed
Albert Collins
and...

Whoever compiled the Spin list was short sighted and not much of an audiophile, IMO.

What an irritating site - clicky and it goes to the next headline ... not the article ... & it takes a long time to load if you're not on cable ...
