Jonny Greenwood of Radiohead is an AMAZING guitar player, not it any way to be dismissed. He's very good technically and also an individual and hugely influential player. Kurt Cobain / Lou Reed / Bo Diddley weren't technically very showy but all had (have on Lou's case) very distinct ways of playing - surely that's better than yet another Robert Johnson clone or someone who can play a scale at a dozen frets a second?

However, it's a shame it's such a "white rock" list - even Robert Johnson & Django seems to be there almost as it'd be criminal not to have them. But wot no Mississippi John Hurt? Skip James? Or the great Malagasy guitar player D'Gary?

I disagree with the list. But then, I don't think I've ever agreed with a list someone else has written up!
