Found this on the net last night; "Eric Clapton has been named the worlds most over-rated guitarist. He came top of a poll of 1000 rock fans organised by guitar manufacturers Ibanez and the makers of Laney guitar amps. Jimi Hendrix was rated the best guitarist, with Whole Lotta Love by Led Zeppelin named the best riff. Dave Gilmour's instrumental break on Pink Floyd's Comfortably Numb was named the best guitar solo. Jimmy Page and Eddie Van Halen were second and third in the best guitarist category, with Mark Knopfler and Hank Marvin runners-up in the most over-rated section. The other guitarists included in the most over-rated category were Keith Richards, Pete Townsend, The Edge, Carlos Santana, Brian May, Noel Gallagher and Ronnie Wood." Whilst these surveys are always a nonsense regarding "best/worst" issues, I'm amazed at the names that appear here for whatever reason. Plenty of great musicians on show but you would need to introduce a foetus to the list to get the average age down to under 40! Do Ibanez and Laney only sell to the "mature" end of the market?
