Irrelevent to the greater things in life, but still pisses me off

Rolling Stone just informed me I have no taste in guitarists. (Which wouldn't really matter if I weren't already feeling crappy). I'll tell you, though, if I hadn't decided long ago that Rolling Stone is full of shit, this list would have done it for me.

Ok. Whenever a magazine puts together a list of the top 100 guitarists of all time, I don't necessarily expect Alex to make the top 10 - but I certainly DO expect him to make the top 100 - and, even more than that, I expect him to outrank Joan Jett, who came in at 87. That's right, Alex didn't make the list at all. I'm sorry, but there's little argument that when it comes to drummers and bassists, Geddy and Neil are easily in the top 10 - and there's no way that a guitarist who has not only kept up with them musically for over 30 years with them, but has always blended in perfectly and helped keep the overall sound of the band top notch shouldn't rank up there pretty damn high! If Alex was truly worse than all these other guitarists they picked for the list, believe me NO ONE would complain about Geddy's voice, because the guitar work would stick out like a sore thumb. Maybe he doesn't shine as brightly as Geddy and Neil, but damnit, he's fucking GOOD!

Oh, as for the rest of my favourites? Well, Clapton made #4, David Gilmour (Pink Floyd) is #82, but Trevor Rabin (Yes - 90215/Big Generator Era), The Guy from Savatage, Yngwie Malmsteen and John Petrucci (Dream Theater) were all left off the list.

Fuckers.
