Day 55 Part 2

More Rolling Stone Greatest Guitarists, or whatever the list is called.

First for some psychedelia...
Quicksilver Messenger Service - "The Fools"

#32 John Cipollina. Barring some other blues/fogy guy I'll assume this is the last little-known on the list.

Dick Dale & His Del-Tones - "Misirlou"

#31 Dick Dale. Maybe a tad bit higher.

Buddy Guy - "First Time I Met the Blues"

#30 Buddy Guy. OK, I have heard of this old guy/blueser.

Stooges - "1969"

#29 Ron Asheton. Probably the first "punk" guitarist I'd actually rate a bit lower.

Crosby, Stills and Nash - "Suite: Judy Blue Eyes"

#28 Stephen Stills. Only acceptable if NY were one ahead.

Dire Straits - "Sultans of Swing"

#27 Mark Knopfler. Generally underrated, he probably came into prominence at the right time for inclusion for a list generated by Rolling Stone, but probably not the right time for huge popularity beyond cult-status/MTVfewhitwonder.

Rage Against the Machine - "Bombtrack"

#26 Tom Morello. At least he's ahead of the guitarists of other 1990s "luminaries" like Tool and Phish. Still find this all a little bit manufactured.

Freddie King - "Have You Ever Loved a Woman"

#25 Freddie King. More geezer stuff.

U2 - "I Will Follow"

#24 The Edge. I've always heard about a lack of proficiency but RS will take any change they can to kiss U2's butt.

Running count: 370 songs for 2011.
