Yeah I like the premise of the list but I havent looked over it totally yet.

Is frusciante in? I'd imagine he should be from reading that criteria.

I love this list more than I should just because it trolls the crap out of baby boomers.

Oh it's not just the baby boomers. The ones who cannot step outside the box for a minute seem to be having trouble with it too.

I think so. I just perused the list. I didn't see Cale or Joey Santiago. Those seem like big whiffs.

Honestly, so is Keith Richards. He's the grand champion of "just playing the fricking riff" style that so many great guitarists can't seem to do. No BS. Just hammer out the riff.

Hell, I'm a huge Ringo fan, too. He held the Beatles together. Though Charlie Watts is better.... (Stones guy)

But I love a list that tries to look at things in a new way. If nothing else, it was interesting. And I loved how it included dual guitarists like Verlaine and Lloyd of Television. Their interplay is pretty great, and what makes Marquee Moon such a great album.

No doubt. I love Watts. Both fit their bands amazingly well though.
