Couldn't see McGuinn's solo from 'Eight Miles High', couldn't see many, many blues guitarists- and Fripp gets in for a King Crimson piece, not his solo work or work with Eno or Sylvian. Figures.

Gah- the list seems to be drawn up by people who've hardly heard any jazz or traditional blues or anything remotely experimental, and with just a polite dusting of folk-rock to let in Neil Young.

It made me feel very old- I kept thinking, 'well, someone along the line there's going to be a mention of Robert Johnson, and Son House, and Leadbelly, or Memphis Minnie, maybe some jazz guitar will sneak in, perhaps a mention in passing of maybe one classical guitar player, perhaps some Lightnin' Hopkins, Big Joe Williams...'

...but no.

And to have ignored Fripp's work on 'No Pussyfooting'...

One of the greatest guitar players I have ever seen is a guy name Mike MacDonald at Grossman's Tavern in Toronto. He's one of these guys who will never be famours, but man can he play.

He does a great version of Cotton Fields that start of slow with just vocals:

When I was a little bitty baby
My momma woudl rock me in my cradle
In those old cotton fields back home

It was down in Louisiana,
Just about a mile from Texarkana,
In them old cotton fields back home.

Oh, when them cotton bolls get rotten
You can’t pick very much cotton,
In them old cotton fields back home.

It was down in louisiana,
Just about a mile from texarkana,
In them old cotton fields back home.

One-two-three-four

And then he starts wailing on the guitar so fast that his fingers are burning. Man, it's incredible

I'm so sick of Stairway To Heaven, Free Bird, and Hotel California that I need to look for a bucket when I hear it now.

Speaking of Lightnin' Hopkins, I just happen to be listening to Mojo Magic - Anthology as I write this.

It's good to see someone else who appreciates music that comes from before 'Kerrang!' was published.

That 'best of' list had too much stone-washed denim, big hair and fake biker jackets in it for my taste, and not enough delta blues or country blues or, indeed, any gawd damn blues players.
