Come on, let's be real here, these list's are always a matter of opinion but this one has to be the worst one I have ever seen. Jack White at #13 ahead of guys like BB King, Wes Montgomery, Buddy Guy, Mike Bloomfield, Django, Duane Allman? That's the silliest thing I've sen in a long time. No Pete Green?

What exactly is this list based on?? Albert and Freddie are not even listed? Clapton is #4 and Harrison #11, ahead of BB and SRV! What a joke! Albert Collins is not on their list but is on the other list, yeah ok whatever.

The Edge? Neal Young?

Prince is actually a damned fine guitarist although I'm not convinced he deserves a place on this list but Neal and Edge definitely do not belong, especially that high up.

Prince makes some sense and he is an incredibly underrated guitarist.

But Harrison over SRV? Even as a big Harrison fan I disagree with that.

And Jack White doesn't deserve to be in the top 25.

#17. (tie) Chet Atkins/Jack White on the Reader's Poll.
I wish there was a facepalm smiley emoticon here. What a slap in the face to the lagacy of Chet Atkins. Mr. Guitar is spinning in his grave.

Hey I don't even see Brian Setzer on either list. I demand a recount!

As with all these lists, it's just a popularity contest. Any list that ranks Jack White as a 'better' guitarist than Andres Segovia was obviously compiled by morons and can't be taken seriously (and this comes from a guy who LIKES the White Stripes).
