I'm grouchy today. My parts hurt -- this one right here, the chest-rib section... and over there, the gullet bits... and in there, the back muscle complex -- and when my parts hurt I get grouchy. So there.

So here. I was recently surfing about and came across this and it reallt got my gumption because, well come on! we can all agree I think Jimi Hendrix was the greatest guitar player of all time, but there are so many fucked up things about this list that I don't even know where to begin.

No, wait, let's begin right here.






Django -- that dude, after a killer fire that didn't kill him, could only play with two fingers on his right hand and yet still wrote some of the most amazing licks that your or my sorry ears will ever hear -- oh yeah, but Jerry Fuckin Garcia (#13) was better than he was. Sure sure -- all that stupid strummity strummity truckin bullshit was righteous... COME ON!

And Woody Guthrie -- how about that punk rock dude? "This machine kills fascists" crazy wicked crooner of labout songs yes! But also the original man to pen "On top of old smokey", "The ABC Song" and innumerable (literally) others that made your and mine childhood's sing! Oh yeah, but The Edge (#24, 15 marks ahead opf Brian May for Chissakes!) who has admitted several times that he doesn't really know how to play, is clearly way better. WHATEVER! Je-sus!


And, how about this shit... where are all the women?






You know, Joan Jett, Auf Der Maur, Liona Boyd, etc etc etc...

Ugh. Not a wonder I'm sick.
