99: Sonic Youth's Thurston Moore...... "indie rock's premier guitar radical" .... "blasting out feedback-swirled punk jams":

Re: "The 100 Greatest Guitarists Of All Time"
Other contributions welcome....... but I'll continue to run through the magazine's list (which includes a few I've never heard of).
Lost a bit of cred already though - their Top 100 list doesn't include Hank Marvin...........

Re: "The 100 Greatest Guitarists Of All Time"
Just had a look at the results and, other than the top three, many of their selections are dodgy to say the least. Sorry but the Americans know bugger all about proper music. After all, they voted "I Wanna Hold Your Hand" as the second best Beatles song of all time. Doh!

Re: "The 100 Greatest Guitarists Of All Time"
They appear to have picked Dave Gilmour rather than Roger Waters. Not sure if the latter may have been more of a bassist. Excuse my ignorance but I was always in the Led Zeppelin camp rather than Pink Floyd in my younger days.

I don't accept the general criticism of Americans' lack of appreciation of music (they invented most of it) but more of that another time.

Re: "The 100 Greatest Guitarists Of All Time"
Gilmour is/was Pink Floyd's guitarist. And utterly brilliant. Waters couldn't tie Gilmour's shoelaces - why would you include him (and yes, "more of" a bassist)?

The Dean, will you only be posting 1 song at a time? or would you like a hand to populate the thread?
