Why because I proved your original statement about how guitar magazines put indie/emo guitarists on their covers to sell more wrong? I like how once it becomes evident i'm not going to make a five second reply you edit your post saying guitar magazines is a bad example.

And how is Brock a bad guitarist? I like his style, hes one of my favorite alternative guitarists ever and a brilliant songwriter too or is just because something positive was said about Modest Mouse and you don't like that?

He's just bad

. Like all the musicians in Modest Mouse, especially the vocalist.

Led Zeppelin are nowhere near as annoying as Led Zeppelin fans.

I like Page, but Hendrix gets extra points for singing. People may not think he was a great singer, but he had so much soul, and really had a unique style at his time. I would pick Hendrix as the best musician ever.

Lets not get carried away. Lets give that title to the greatest musician, and possibly a lunatic, Mozart.

I'll give you that, maybe Hendrix was the best musician of the 20th century.
I think I need to do some reading on Mozart. Why was he a lunatic?

I am not 100% sure of this, but some people say the guy was a lunatic. Like the music he thought up in his head was impossible to be played and stuff like that.

There are many rumors surrounding him though so I have to do some more research too.

^The fact that he thought up pieces that were impossible to play probably makes him more genius than insane.
Lets not forget that if Jimi started his career at the same time as someone like, say, Chuck Berry did, he would've been considered insane. The stuff he would've wanted to do would've been odd, guitarists were getting rid of any feed back on their recordings, not using it as a tool.
