Now see, that is one type of guitar music I really do not like. I could keep him off, but I can see why he is on there.

Yeah, we all have our preferences (I don't care for most guitarists post-'67, while most people love the late '60s/early '70s style pioneered by Hendrix and Clapton), but without Link Wray we wouldn't have the power chord.  So, no Pete Townshend, et al, without Link.

Dick Dale is also on the list, which is great.  I saw him a few years ago and he blew me away.  He plays loud!  And Steve Cropper, one of my favorites, is at #39.  Actually I would rather listen to Lowman Pauling (who was Cropper's main influence), but Cropper's presence on the list is reassuring.

I'm also heartened by the absence of Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, and Yngwie Malmsteen, who always seem to impress a lot of people.
