Might have something to do with the fact that BB Kind is a blues guitarist and this is a rock list.

Ummm. Bo Diddley's on there. So are a bunch of other guitarists I wouldn't characterize as rock.

How is Bo Diddley not rock?

And no I dont consider BB King a rock guitatist, just pure blues. Granted there are a handful of blues guitarists on this list like Johnny Winter but thats because they do have rock material and their sound is more blues rock than pure blues.

In the same sense I added Allan Holdsworth and John Maclaughlin, who are probably more thought of as Jazz guitarists but they have a handful of rock material and an overall rock oriented sound, and no Pat Matheny wasn't an oversight, just in case that comes up.

Just so long as it isn't a personal insult to the king of the blues (like The Unfan...don't know how much crack he was smoking). I did notice the absence of a few other guitarists, but it wasn't anything big. I would have rearranged the top ten:

1. Jimi Hendrix
2. Duane Allman
3. Chuck Berry
4. Eric Clapton
5. Jimmy Page
6. Bo Diddley
7. Jeff Beck
8. Eddie Van Halen
9. Stevie Ray Vaughan
10. Pete Townshend
