This is some of the silliest crap I've ever seen. I won't bother to go
item by item, but will only observe that any guitarist list that has
Brian May at #39 is stoopit on its face.

...it's a lonesome thing to be passing small towns with the
lights shining sideways when the night is down, or going in
strange places with a dog nosing before you and a dog nosing
behind, or drawn to the cities where you'd hear a voice
kissing and talking deep love in every shadow of the ditch,
and you passing on with an empty, hungry stomach failing
from your heart.
