NME readers rate the top 20 guitarists of all time.  Agreed with some, but am perplexed at how some others made the list.

hmmm... I thought Chico State was always in the top five or so?  Maybe the hardest-partying schools were too wasted to fill out the survey..?  :)

Love it that Boston (the band) missed the Top Ten. And yay Donna Summer. Of course, I'd rank J.Geils above the freakin' Cars --"Every single song on the Cars' debut album is still in rotation on rock radio" -- er, what?? when was the last time you heard "I'm In Touch With Your World"?  (OK, OK -- 8 outta 9 is pretty good)

Funny, my first thought was "Love, Reign O'er Me" by the who -- the thunder and rain always worked for me there, and it's not on the list.

I'm trying to remember if Jimi's "Rainy Day, Dream Away" actually has sound effects (other than the sound of Jimi hitting a j -- "hey, man, it's rainin'..."
