    Seems to me they got drunk one night, wrote names on a bunch o' darts, and chucked 'em at a dartboard.

      It does read like an editorial staff-created poll, but to be honest I could imagine RS readers coming up with a similar list. though the ordering may be a bit different. Duane at #2 is interesting, if not undeserved.

      Dude, that list is an illustration of how non-players think about guitarists. Our poll is a classic, almost cliche example of how guitarists think about guitarists.

      I like both lists, personally. My top 100 would take names from both.

        None of my top five made the list and I'm neither surprised nor angry. I can't say I'm shocked by that list and there are some great players on there. Kudos to the viking for doing all of this. Must have been a lot of work.


        But I must confess, I really wish the April fools list was in actuality the real one. Not because any of my favorites were on the fake one (I think favorites are rather personal and it isn't important who inspires you, but rather that someone inspires you) but rather because I like to see people get unraveled when silly norms are upset.

          For the most part, I don't take exception to the guitarists on the RS list, only their rankings.

          I do agree with you that ours is a guitarist's list, while the RS list is a listener's list. The RS list also includes some historic icons that ours omits, since ours is about personal favorites rather than historic importance.

            Great list, Keith! Thanks so much for doing this.


            I got all my guys in: Adrian Smith, Iommi, Jeff Beck, Schenker and Rhoads.

                True. There's a lot of 'historically important' players in the RS list.

                  Hahaha. Yup. I don't see why people make such a stink about such topics. Its a list. It doesn't invalidate you as a person/musician if your top rankings aren't mimicked, just like it doesn't invalidate others that don't have the same tastes as you (not you Nitty Gritty, but figuratively speaking - which I'm sure you could figure out, I just wanted to call you Nitty Gritty). Some people just take themselves too seriously I guess.

                    Totally. I think we can put reactions to polls like these down to 'serious music lover' weirdness. Players or non-players.
