according to who? rolling stone magazine ? lol

srv did one thing amazingly, ill give him that..

...he brought blues to an audience that were being pounded with MTV's constant rotation of snazzy mc hammer and snap! videos when most of the popular music crowds of the world didnt know what real texas blues sounded like...srv introduced people and record companies to unheard of sales figures and to a sound...thats all..

he made a living..he died tragically...but he was no originator..and whoever says that srv is in some top 10 or 50 list of guitar players can take the list and push it aside...

cuz even vaughan, if he were today, would say its a crock..lol
