All of the guitarists I would include have been included.
I always thought James Dean Bradfield was under-rated. His band was all about the songwriting and even as a frontman he never took the spotlight but some of his guitar work was pretty decent.
He would be way, way, way down on my list of 200 though, I'm not getting carried away or anything.

Eddie Hazel is consistently compared to Jimi Hendrix (though their styles are undeniably disparate). I agree -- he's damn good and he deserves appreciation -- but it's understandable why he might not be so, considering how short his career was. Maggot Brain is one of the most brilliant pieces of psychedelia and eclipses much of what Jimi's done. It's a damn shame that his work with George Clinton and Funkadelic was so short-lived.
