List his top 5 songs that you think are worthy of our worship.

Nowhere near the same league as Satriani/Vai/Johnson/Vaughn/Trower/etc."
........
Look, all those guys are/ were great. I never got this always having to rank the greatest guitarist. Here's the thing about Jeff: while a lot of great guitarists think of and treat their guitars as "axes", "chainsaws" or "machine guns", Jeff Treated his like a paint brush, drawing beautiful pictures. Most of these guitarists that you list have made great songs. Jeff made great music...

"Had to post this one too after listening to both Blow by Blow and Wired back to back. The good old days. Jeff B is on Mount Rushmore for sure."

Damn son, I did the exact same thing that you did!

One of my favorite JB tracks was a recording he did with Seal from the Jimi Hendrix tribute album Stone Free.

Yes! That track is just bananas, especially the last half where he goes off the rails. The last...chord?...is ridiculous.

Why do so many people like this guy just talk out their arse and assume things that aren't even remotely true?

I think maybe that's the difference in my appreciation. I really, truly appreciate songwriting over all other musical skills.

Thank you for delineating it like that.
