The latest issue of Rolling Stone includes their top 100 guitarists of all time. The list is also available on their website.
Whilst a reasonable argument can be made for Hendrix appearing as number 1, there are some very strange inclusions in the list, with David Gilmour appearing a lowly eighty-second. Lists such as this always encourage arguments and many good guitarists either get an appalling ranking, or are missing altogether. Ho hum.

VH1 in the US this past Monday started airing the "I love the 70's" special that covers the decade and the popular culture of the time; each year is broken down into one hour segments.
Wednesday night saw the 1973 segment, where "Dark Side of the Moon" was discussed and there was a small clip of David Gilmour during the 70's, along with other current celebrities such as Joe Elliot of Def Leppard discussing the impact of DSotM on their lives. The show will be rebroadcast throughout the week - check your local listings. Our thanks to John Woods for this heads-up.
