Regarding Guitars

And now for something completely different.

According to Rolling Stone, the average rock fan spends almost 5 hours per year in arguments relating to the best guitarist in history. There are many names that are invoked, and rightfully so: Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page, Eddie Van Halen, and the rest. Many unbelieveable guitarists out there rarely have their names mentioned in such discussions. The reasons for this are varied, but I see no reason to stick with the status quo.

Thus, I present my list of the Top Five Underrated Guitarists

1) Alex Lifeson - Rush

2) Mark Knopfler - Dire Straits

3) Tom Scholz - Boston

4) Neil Schon - Journey/Santana

5) Leslie West - Mountain
