Spin's 100 "Greatest" Guitarists
this list is awful. and should be laughed at. Kurt Cobain at 4. Skrillex at 100. No Hendrix. Just lots of lolz and trolls

It is some type of diversity based joke, of that I am sure.

This list is impossibly dumb, i agree, but many of you didnt read this:

of All Time Prince & PJ Harvey (Photo: Getty Images) Prince & PJ Harvey / Photos by Getty Images May 3 2012, 8:45 AM ET by SPIN Staff To celebrate the new generation of shredders profiled in our May/June "Loud Issue," the SPIN staff decided to find some wheedle in a haystack, taking on the impossible task of ranking our favorite guitar players of all time. Traditionally, the "greatest guitarist" timeline begins with Robert Johnson magically conjuring the blues, nears perfection with Eric Clapton mutating it beatifically, and then ultimately reaches a boomer-baiting Rock and Roll Hall of Fame apotheosis with the free-spirited Jimi Hendrix shooting it into space like feedback-laden fireworks. For this list, we veer toward the alternative canon that kicks in with the Velvet Underground trying to erase that form entirely, making guitar solos gauche and using instruments as sadomasochistic tools for hammering out sheets of white heat. As you will see, our list embraces outsiders, trailblazers, outliers, and Eugene Chadbourne playing a rake. We don't worship "guitar gods," but prefer our axe-wielders to be resourceful, egalitarian, flawed, and human. We're not drawn to Olympic feats of fleet-fingered athletics, unless they're used for unique and exploratory ends. We see the mewling histrionics of Jeff Beck as tyranny instead of catharsis. The name Derek Trucks is practically alien to us.

This a non traditional list for sure.
It's an interesting take actually.
It's not the same old "Hendrix/Clapton/Vaughn" list.

The was truly absurd. They listed Syd Barrett and NOT David Gilmour.

Translation; Our list sucks.
By any definition, if you don't include Hendrix on any Of All Time list, it's just stupid.
ETA: I think this is the Hipster's GOAT list.

List is ridiculous, however,
Tom Verlaine and Prince are legit top 10s IMO.

If Zakk Wylde isn't in the top 5 the list is not legit.

Top 5 all time? Interesting choice. Amazing how different tastes will sway rankings. What some may find as nothing special, another may put the person on a pedastal. All opinion though, no true right or wrong. The guy can play, just not someone I'd mention close to that high. Again, this may also have a lot to do with my preference in style and genre.

Best list I've seen so far.
Posted on 5/4/12 at 10:07 am to Cdawg
hold up, Gilmour isn't listed at all?
