*midnight for example, which is a good tune, with an unconventional two hand chordal tapping approach, which also has a killer melody.
vai on the other hand plays fast wanky noise..

I think its a rather uncreative genre, with no restraint and very little emotional depth
I'm trying to be objective here, I'm not excluding genres that I feel are creatively inferior, I'm trying to represent every genre of rock music and measuring how much guitarists have contributed to their genre, I admit my rankings are not THAT well thought out and could use some work though, but I don't really care about a precise order as much as just plain acknowledgement.

I only listen to you talk when I want to hear Emo performed acapella.
