The 100 Greatest Guitar Songs of All Time
« on: June 04, 2008, 05:05:21 PM »
I found this courtesy of Hugh Hewitt's site on Townhall.com.  Yeah, it"s from a commie rag--Rolling Stone--but I like a lot of the songs on it.  But, why Mark Knopfler's/Dire Straits' Sultans of Swing wasn't in the Top 10 is beyond me.  And, where's Eric Johnson's Cliffs of Dover, anyway?

I am not convinced that The Kinks deserved 4th place.

And for Dire Straits not to show up in the top 25 is a crime (Sultans comes in at 25).

No GFR, no Frampton, no Bo.

This is too heavily weighted towards the 80s and 90s.

Also, it is unkind to make us wade through them 4 to 5 on a page.

Yeah, Do You Feel Like I Do is a hot guitar tune.  There's YouTube clips of it that were recorded last year, I think, and Frampton hasn't lost a thing.

If Dire Straits ever reformed and went on tour here in the US, I'd see them in half a heartbeat.

There's a reason why patriotism is considered a conservative value. Watch a Tea Party rally and you'll see people proudly raising the American flag and showing pride in U.S. heroes such as Thomas Jefferson. Watch an OWS rally and you'll see people burning the American flag while showing pride in communist heroes such as Che Guevera. --Bob, from some news site

I'm gonna look, but if Freebird is not top two, this thread should be deleted.  I say it's number one, but I'll give a pass to Stairway to Heaven as number one.  One, by Metallica better be near the top.

Then you're going to be disappointed.  But what do you expect?  It's "Rolling Moonbat" Magazine.

The omission of the Outlaws - Green Grass & High Tides is an egregious error.
That is the worst list I've ever seen.  Freebird at 64?  Sweet Child O' Mine, 63?  The frickin Beatles even included?
