Honestly, I think Jimi Hendrix is a bit overrated... maybe it's because I'm so used to flamenco guitar, but his playing really doesn't impress me as much as that of flamenco guitarists.

Tell me the name of a flamenco guitar player that could replace Hendrix on this list. I doubt there are any that influenced guitar players (or musicians for that matter) more than Hendrix did.

You're right about the influence Hendrix had - but Paco Delucia is arguably just as good of a flamenco guitarist as Hendrix was a rock guitarist.

Anyone that feels that they're too smart to be rating musicians are about as stupid as they may be!

Music is about as relative as it could be, and anyone that thinks that they can be ranking musicians should maybe playing one themselves

paco de lucia is argueably the greatest flamenco guitarist in the world.
jimi hendrix, when he was alive, was one of the greatest guitarists in rock music.
It's kind of like comparing bach to springsteen or little richard with sonny bono.

My vote goes to Jimmi Page. It took me a while, but i finally figured out (around age 12) that the talent of a musician was not in any way proportional to his/her popularity. It was true then as it is now. When i saw LedZep in concert i was soooo dissapointed!

Alvin Lee also comes to mind!

Urgh, I think that's about the most digusting thing I've seen all week! Is it the hairy chest, the erect nipple, the expression of self delusional megalomania, the revolting haircut, the obscene posture? No, I think it must be the thought of the pimply crap he's doodling that really makes my stomach turn...

Don't worry - carry on liking them. Just felt like a bit of exaggerated invective. Aren't we ALL riding pygmy ponies? That's a nice thought - a horde of pygmy ponies ridden by members of the Zappa forum, thundering (or pattering) across the prarie. I wonder who would get the smallest hoss?

BTW I'm going to watch your namesake's (with only one 'i') new film tomorrow - is it any good?

you mean danny kirwan, right, of fleetwood mac fame? :wink:

yeah, he was pretty good.
but, I've never seen his name on any top 100-lists, so I guess he's not really rated...
neither 'under' nor 'over'...
