I love that the Radiohead guitarists are ahead of EDDIE VAN HALEN. What does that even mean?  The list often confuses producing (Kevin Shields) or songwriting (Lou Reed) with guitar-playing.  For starters, give me Slash, Dr. Know, and Richard Lloyd. . .  
 
 Rolling Stone is ok for music news, but totally sucks ass for music criticism.  These lists used to be really good, like the 20th Anniversary top 100 albums.  Now they're random and always seriously flawed.  And confusing.  Trying to wrap my head around Lou Reed being a better GUITAR player than Eddie Van Halen, when he's never even the best guitar player on stage, is more difficult than calculus.

If Richard Thompson only made #19 (behind Johnny Ramone and the guy from Red Hot Chili Peppers?) I have a hard time placing Marr at the top 5.

Your saying Ramone and the bloke from the chili peppers are better than Marr?....please don't make yourself look stupid in front of everyone.

Who is your father-in-law, the fat hairy guy from the Deftones? or the guitar player from the movie "Deliverance"?

I'd love to know how they cast that kid in Deliverance.  Really, who would want to play that role?
