Its not that great, he didn't write it, and its a really sloppy cover of it.

Also, its called the Star Spangled Banner. not 'The national anthem'.

Also, "Machine Gun".

If all you've heard is the usual Purple Haze, All Along the Watchtower, and Fire, then you have to listen to more before you can deny how awesome Jimi was.

To be fair, a lot of what Hendrix innovated was tone more so than just his unique. He was fairly sloppy yet good enough at his instrument to make that slop coherent with what he was doing. "Loose" would be a good way to describe his playing. What made him so great is that he found the perfect tone to make that loose feeling wank sound like gold. He mastered the art of making fuzz sound trippy.

Kurt deserves no spot on that list in my opinion.

I don't understand how three-chord songs (exaggerating) influence anything. He's fine, but I don't think he deserves a spot in all honesty. Well, he may. I'm just a hater

Like, Zakk Wylde is a 100x better than him in my opinion and is one spot below. His solo in No More Tears is phenomenal.

Zakk Wylde is one of the worst guitarists on that list, and hasn't influenced ANYBODY. Kurt Cobain's guitar playing wasn't influential for it's chords, it was for his unconventional playing during leads, especially live.

I guess all I can do is disagree?

this is like the 3rd of your posts i quote tonight, i'm starting to wonder if you're trolling or just really need a clue.

regardless of his influence over a generation cobain was acutally pretty freaking talented. he wasn't a virtuoso but what he lacked in technical chops he made up for in raw emotion. that's what made him stand out so much, his sound was raw and real. and like khfreek said, his lead style was unique, unlike the multitude of wankers that pick up their guitars with the intent of playing guitar instead of music.

considering the man single handedly influenced a generation of kids to pick up an instrument and play music AND wrote great songs they could all start off with. he most definitely IS one of the top 200 guitarists in rock.

Really? Have you been to a guitar center? Go there and I bet you will see several kids in black label t-shirts shopping for les pauls.
