Neil Young - Guitarist
You know they have classical music competitions--the Cliburn piano competition being among the best-known.  I think it's generally accepted that a great deal of both technique and musicality are required to do well.  I don't see why a list such as... 
Neil Young - Guitarist
Okay, so they had him ranked around #15 I think.  If you look at the list of people he is in front of you'll see how ridiculous this is.  He's good, he's interesting but top 100 he ain't.  I would list some people who I don't listen to as much as ... 
Neil Young - Guitarist
If I may add--though I like his playing, I don't know if Neil would make my top 100 
Neil Young - Guitarist
Neil has a unique style which is not for everybody.  It's easy to parody but impossible to really duplicate.   If you didn't like it 50 years ago you're not going to like it any better now.  Personally I liked it then and now.  He's no great techn...

What would 60's radio have been without the Ventures?  They were especially important to all the young wannabe guitarists like myself.  A very special band, indeed. 
Any NPR Tiny Desk Studio Concert.... lovers ? on youtube
I didn't know they aired on the radio.  I see them on the NPR website, and then older ones on youtube.  They feature a wide variety of styles and are often great entertainment--for free! 
Worst Rock Band Ever !!!!
In defense of Blue Cheer--I like Summertime Blues and the flip side, Out of Focus.  Kind of proto-punk, proto-grunge.

As I recall Levon was also in The Doll's House with Jane Fonda.

I think Sam Stone just might be the saddest, most heartbreaking song ever written.  So very good yet so hard to sit through. 
odd music times pieces
Celestial Terrestrial Commuters (Mclaughlin/Mahavishnu Orch)   is mostly in 19/8 with the occasional measure of 18/8 or 22/8.  Somehow very danceable. 
Unforggetable song titals
John Hiatt--Since His Penis Came Between Usncarv, isn't it she WALKS like a bearded rainbow? 
If your system were a car!
Mine would be aToyota Camry.  No frills, just gives me what I need (within my budget).Would love to have a Ferrari/Lamborghini budget.

bdp24, that night Rick sang Buddy Holly’s "Raining in My Heart" and another tune which I don’t remember. There’s a good recording of him doing RIMH with Ringo’s All-Starr Band. I prefer his cover to Buddy’s original.+1 for the Band’s album of cove...

The first two albums are fantastic as are select songs from the later releases. Great art transports you to places you could not otherwise go to and that’s what so many of their songs do. MFBP and "the Band" LP’s are high on my list of all-time gr...
