The list reads to me like a popularity contest rather than a listing of, as it is billed, "the best guitar players of the last Millennium." Looking at the top 25, I'm not sure that BB King is a 'better' guitar player than Pat Metheny - or that Keith Richard and Pete Townshend are better than Charlie Christian. Not taking anything away from anybody's talent, but I just don't think the list is what it claims to be. Just my humble opinion. :-) Les NP: Mike Marshall "Gostosinho"
