Cool list; but I don't agree with the order.
Johnny B Goode at 107? No way; that's top ten for sure.
I was glad to see Miserlou on the list at 85.
What, no Ventures?

Shine on You Crazy Diamond is one of my favorites...

Cliffs of Dover should have been in the top 10. 16th is a disgrace imo.

Where's White Room?
Where's Jumpin' Jack Flash?
The more I think about it the more I think they missed a lot of good stuff.

Only 2 Stevie Ray Vaughans and ZERO Brian Setzer and Carlos Santana?
Whiskey Tango Foxtrot

Santana's there if you keep looking. 184, 196...
But I think those should be in the top 50 at least.

Who died and made these guys the king of rock n' roll riffs? :eh:
Where the hell is Dire Straits Sultans of Swing? 28th? You have got to be kidding!

Yeah, but David Gilmour is right where he should be with Comfortably Numb. :D

Jerry's work on Truckin' is listed (#215), but nothing else.
Therefore, the list thinks that that's his best work. ?!?!?
There's no way that a reviewer would say that Truckin' was Jerry's best. Compared to Dark Star, Going Down the Road, no way!
That list was put out by Marketing not by a musician.

I noticed that too, but the Dead don't really fit in this kind of a list.
The Dead were always best live and what Jerry did was more jamming, not playing solos. I'd put Jerry's guitar work on "The Music Never Stopped" at the War Memorial Auditorium in Buffalo on May 9, 1977 against anybody, anytime. Period.

I notice The Edge was not represented. :evil:
And "Comfortably Numb" over "Stairway to Heaven?" "Heartbreaker" at #61?
I think this list was put together by conservatives.
:razz:

Did I see Leslie West for Mississippi Queen, How about Mark Farner on Inside Looking Out, Billy Gibbons on Precious and Grace, Tony Iommi on NIB, or Robin Trower on Day of the Eagle.
Joe Walsh Funk 49, Duane Allman In Memory of Elizibeth Reed, Carlos Santana's Souls Sacrifice

Those lists are bogus by design. A happy friendly list that everyone agrees with doesn't drive traffic to the site.

OK. I made that post ^^^ without looking at the list.
I looked at the list, and I've got to say that is without a doubt, THE WORST Top 100 list ever. Who made this list? Marlee Matlin? Helen Keller?
Did they just draw random titles out of a hat? Throw darts at a music catalog?
