Aside from Skrillex (the ****? 
), I thought it was a very good list. I haven't heard of a lot of the guitarists on there, but I liked that experimentation and innovation trumped technical skill on the list.
It's great seeing Tom Verlaine/Richard Llyod so high, and Lee Renaldo/Thurston Moore at #1.
As for the exclusion of Jimi...Everyone is well aware that Jimi Hendrix is the certified #1 rock guitar god. There's no reason to keep saying it over and over again.

Nice to see Tony Iommi at #18, but Prince? Is he really that great? Better than David Gilmour, who is not included on the list?

Well, clearly this list was made by someone who wanted to ******** most classic rock fans. It has some great inclusions that don't generally appear in lists of greatest guitar players. But skrillex sucks.

would be nice to actually SEE the list.
these web designers really need a boot to the side of the head with all of their mouseover, popup, coverup BS they constantly do (not just this site, but MANY sites)

Yeah, I couldn't see the list either.

Taken from the April Fool's Day edition I assume? Maybe the most vacuous 'Best...' list I ever saw, and there have been some howler's over the years, but I have to admit it's a great troll by SPIN to contrive this list of obscure non-entities, I actually almost fell for it for a minute, so thanks, most entertaining!

How in the world did Dave Navarro make that list and not John?
