DVD Talk Best Guitarist Ever List

Okay, let's do this right!

E-mail me your top 5 or 10 greatest guitarists IN ORDER and after I add them all up I will post the results in this thread.

(e-mailing me will keep the thread from turning into a big arguing fest)

Let's see if we can be better than those goofs at Total Guitar.

Don't worry about me cheating: my picks won't make the top 10, I'm sure.

Man i hate these questions. I know who I wouldn't put at #1, but then I'm at a loss WHO to put there. Just seems like a disservice to everyone else.

I could just say Page, but I'm not so sure. Safe bets suck

I'll post as soon as the emails stop coming... though there are only coming in about 2 or 3 a day.

Maybe I'll post an update to try and generate more emails?
