Is he more remember for what he did then what he played? Like at the Monterey Pop Festival, he got his freak on with his gutiar, burned it, smashed it, and he played at Woodstock, the syzygy of sex, drugs and Rock and Roll for the baby boomers. Is that the critea for being the best guitar player? Does his showmanship upstage his playing?

I agree, I myself have never quite understood what makes Hendrix such a 'shoe-in' at #1. But it's not my list so I can't change it. You could always try pleading your case to booboo, he seem's like a pretty reasonable guy.

No, and I'm sure Pete Townshend shouldn't be drouped with these guys.
