I've never been crazy about van halen. His music has never really grown on me.
Forget about the reasons and the treasons we are seeking
Forget about the notion that our emotions can be swept away, kept at bay
Forget about being guilty, we are innocent instead
For soon we will all find our lives swept away

I am a HUGE Hendrix fan. The dude pretty much single-handedly revolutionized the instrument

Santana is definitely over-rated, so I gotta go with the majority here.

Lindsey Buckingham on the other hand is so under-rated it's not even funny. He should definitely be on the list of the so-called guitar gods.
David Gilmore can get so much from a guitar without artificial effects it should make Timmy blush. How he can be over-rated I'll never know. He's rarely, if ever, metioned with the greats.

i know what you mean, but its not about how they are rated, just favorites. and I just cant get into the man. EVH did some revolutionary things on the guitar, but i cant get into him either.

I hear that. I just can't get into U2 no matter how hard I try. People love the hell out of U2, but I just don't get it.

U2 is the bane of my existence. Seriously, who is ridiculous enough to call themselves "The Edge?"

isn't it odd that he can play something as difficult as Recuerdos de Alhambra better than something as simple as a 12 bar blues?

I think David Gilmour is overrated too.
i can honestly say i've never heard anyone say that before - he's awesome, really passionate solos
for real, i dont see how you can consider Gilmour overrated when most average rock listeners dont even know who he is

i cant fucking stand Jack White. Music critics basically stroke him off every time they talk about him, but i think he's average at best. Sure, maybe he can write some catchy tunes, but making a shitload of noise with an electric guitar isn't anything new
