You can't compare guitarists like this. You have to AT LEAST group them by genre. There are just too many styles out there, and you can't compare them. Same goes for ANY instrument…

No Brian May?? Hello?

David Gilmour #82? I think the general consensus here is Rolling Stone's list is pure crap. I like the Digital Dream Door one much better.

I don't mean to hijack your thread but while looking for that article I found this. You California people have all the luck. Looks like a great line up. Ramones to Hold 30th Anni…

To rank Joan Jett above Angus Young is just....wrong

I like the list. It makes sense to me that a lot of the people listed are there in their respective ranking. Joni Mitchell: if you've ever seen her play and sing, you'd realize imm…

That first list is total ********. Angus Young, Eddie Van Halen�!!? So low! 70's and 90's?! That's ridiculous! The second list is even more messed up. Who put Kirk at 59?! Digita…

Read more of the screen manpage... try Ctrl-a Esc to enter scrollback/copy mode. Press Esc again to exit s/c mode. Now I just tested the above in Panther (10.3.5) and Terminal.app…

Yeah, I can do the scroll/copy mode thing, but it's just not what I'm looking for - it's modal, a bunch of extra awkward keystrokes, doesn't work with my scroll wheel, arrow/page k…
