The Smashing pumpkins can write a song. They're not about guitar showmanship. I'm the same way, i like writing songs, there's thousand upon thousands of people who can play like I do on a guitar, but I really think i've improved as a songwriter through the time more than a player.
You do need 20 Albums, that's true. But they must start from Robert Johnson to whoever is the top guy today ,I seem to hear that guy jeff loomis' name often from Bill and others, so it's a long chain and ladder, and that's a fact. but it all starts with the blues if we're talking about the guitar and where it's been taken to.

the album that Johnson made is a magical one but he paid to the devil to get his skills

[atomic charvel guy]

i might do a deal with the devil too as long as i got to swing down Sunset from palm tree to palm tree like tarzan.

[Endrik]

I nailed the original Tarzan voice to the T when I was 13 years old.

[atomic charvel guy]

I nailed the tree swing when I was7.

[Endrik]

I was that tree when I was 3

Well this was picked by the readers, so I wouldn't put much stock in it. GW did a 100 greatest guitar albums, picked by the editors, about 3 years (I believe the 4/03 issue). It was broken down into genres and was pretty good.

It was Hendrix, Sabbath and Alvin Lee for me. Didn't hear VH till high school.

[zeegler]

Hendrix never did it for me. Don't get me wrong, I like his music well enough, but it never made me want to pick up guitar. I'll say that Black Sabbath was the first music I heard that made me say "I wanna do that!!!".
