200 greatest guitarists in rock (electronic, blues, funk, metal, single)

I'm half and half on this matter but is that genre even really deserving? Not to mention that technique is pretty damn easy to acquire if you have time and patience
of the three i think satriani is probably better...he has the better melodic sense and much more interesting use of his technique*
*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

My compliments for including Malcolm Young in with Angus Young.
Without Mal, AC/DC is just another run'o'the'mill rock band.

AC/DC are just another run of the mill rock band...barring bon scott there was nothing special there

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.
