My first thought is that you don't know how to spell Jimi Hendrix's name.
Second thought is kinda in line with some comments on Rolling Stone's site...it's an awesome list, but could possibly read as the writer's "favorite's list". If they're not the greatest guitar songs ever, they'd definitely have to some of the most iconic songs ever.

Uh oh...
Somebody's revealing that they're a guitar snob...
Snob? Don't think so. How can you ask for people's thoughts, then call names when you get answers??? Geez
It's what I do...
I mean - i'm a huge fan of nirvana - i mean for real - but seriously...Nirvana and no E.J. - OR!!! - SRV in the top 30
LAME
and you know what else - the beatles or the most overrated excuse for a musical revolution - the only revolution they started is the one to led to groups like Fall Out Boy - And you know im right - don't even start with musical vision and all that - it's all an over produced cover up for lack of musical talent -
out!
