lol!!! Wow, you think you're like the smartest man in the world when it comes to music rofl. And for a 19 year old, that's pretty hilarious if I do say so myself.
It's also funny how you think I don't know what you're trying to say, hahaha. Oh wow, so let me get this straight; you're saying that composition is a part of technical skill! omggg how the hell did I guess that? I must be a genius (which I am). You're just too dumb to realise the basis of what I've been arguing with you, and I'm obviously on the winning side since I'm the one that started the poll! lol times 5!

So okay, I'll explain my side for you, being the law grad that I am:

1) The first and most important point is: I made the poll so I'm the one that consequently decides what the theme is about,

2) I was initially going to make it in terms of technical skill alone but I realised that the misinformed wouldn't actually know who (or how) to vote, which is silly in itself, so there isn't really a need for such poll, and indeed one of this magnitude,

3) So what I decided to do was make it in terms of technical/[SLASH]composition, with the slash meaning OR, or a combination of the two. So this means that someone could vote whom they thought was the best technical guitarist (and decide that by technical skill alone or composition, which is what you've pointed out so obviously to me) OR, they could choose to vote for a guitarist that they just happen to appreciate for whatever reason, and that reason can be dumbed down to “composition,”

4) Now, there of course is a major flaw with this poll and indeed of all polls. The flaw being that the maker of the poll isn't assured that the people voting will share similar (or a relatively high) knowledge about the theme of the poll. Which means, in terms of this example, that obviously not everyone is going to have heard every single CD and demonstration video of every guitarist on there. And even if this was the case, who's to say if they really know what's technically skilled or not? Which would mean that you would have to be perhaps a professional guitarist to vote properly if you were going to vote purely on skill and come to an appropriate conclusion. But of course, I posted this poll on a site which features people of a wide range of ages and knowledge, which means that if someone liked a guitarist just because they play for their favourite band (or for whatever reason), that's fine. And it's something that we can't measure, and if we could there wouldn't be a point for a poll,

5) The main conjecture is that you were saying composition is a skill that can be measured objectively and thus be contributed to skill. I actually agree with this (and had many long arguments about it), but this is not what I was arguing against here. I was arguing about the theme of the poll, and like I said, I made the damn poll, so of course I'm right. I created this so called argument because of your extreme arrogance which seems to exponentially climb. I merely wanted to point out that thinking Cobain was skilled for whatever reason is fine, and that it seems like you think you get to decide who likes what and like you know exactly who the BEST EVER MUISICANS WITH A 100% CERTAINTY are. I gave up caring about that whole crap long ago when I realised music is a lot more about who's the best, it all comes down to recognition, which all comes down to feeling...And I learnt that when I was about seven...

I have yet to see you post about a new band you like or say something that isn't fabracated to go against the majority. If you are here to troll, then good job you are a pretty good one, but if not you are one sad member of society. Go listen to DT and tell people that they are wrong for liking someone based on the fact that they just like them. I like Green Day are you going to flame at me because they aren't technically skilled, or that they don't write metaphoric songs? Or how about that they aren't insanily fast?

Have fun struggling in a world of compromises.
Yeah since you replied to me joking, I'm gonna consider this to be a joke too. But I'll reply to this part:

Just because i said he was lacking in the technical skill department?...Whats your freaking problem?...Did i ever call Cobain a bad songwriter?...Did i ever say that his guitar playing overall sucked?...Did i ever said Nirvana as a band were crap?...No i didnt, because im one of the biggest Nirvana fanboys you will ever meet, hell im picked on DDD all the time for always being the first to defend the band from haters, even defending Cobain as a guitarist and a vocalist.

I am NOT biased against bands because they lack a lot of technical skill, hell AC/DC, The Ramones, The New York Dolls, The Sex Pistols, The Clash, U2, The Police, REM, The Replacements, Pixies, Sonic Youth, Husker Du, Black Flag, MC5 and The Stooges are among my favorite bands...Not to mention Nirvana are one of my top 10 bands of all time, and everytime someone bashs them im always the first one to lay out some ass whooping.

This is your problem, you jump to conclusions, and because i decided not to bother trying to explain everything to you in detail about technical skill you won the arguement?... If we go too far into these personal flame wars, both of us will get banned, something you need to think about.
