Yeah there is no way Kurt even belongs on that list. If he is on there then Dave should be on there. Who the heck makes that list any how?

yep...probably. rollingstone doesn't know anything about music anymore. it used to be a big deal to get on the cover, but now it's just like.."oh. okay. i bet they're nude, right?"

meh. anyway, i'm glad they recognized robert johnson.

Wow. I don't know whether to love or hate this list. I mean, I love how Robert Johnson, B.B. and Warren Haynes get up that high. Proves they have a little competence. But then I see Jack White above Randy Rhoads, Steve Howe and Angus Young and I tend to go :x

I don't know if Hendrix is the absolute best, but he is one of my favorite guitarist of all time. Too many people look at just his guitar skills. They should also look at everything he did and everything he changed....

I believe that is precisely the reason Cobain is up there. Because he changed so much and essentially invented a genre.
