I think you make an important point there though, its not always what they've left out thats upsetting but that they picked something from a badns catalouge over another.

And the criteria for a "guitar song" is a little suspicious because it starts to contradict itself.

Vicarious from Tool is on there. The 100 spot is the most overlooked placement because "well they did make it 100 after all"

So what, TOOL has never been a guitar band and what about Vicarious over other tool songs, or even other songs off of 10,000 Days is more "guitar" than others?

And how does a band like Metallica, which has countless tracks with intricate guitar work OR monster riffs; a band that has a simplistic albeit intense drummer and an album sans bass only get one song.

I'm not calling for 14 tracks from them to be put up but I think even when you talk about bands with better songs, they don't have better guitar. And that is what we're talking about isn't it?
