• Keith Richards???!!!, even in the top 100 would be pushing it. Great songwriter, but guitarist?? But, these are also the people who like Britney for more than just her body

• Funny, I had the exact same response initially with regard to Keith Richards, whose most amazing quality is actually his continuing existence.

• I feel that RS\'s list is a joke, so I have decided to put a list together of what real music fans feel. Feel free to give your input.

• This reminds me of a list publised many years ago,and the fact that John frusciante is only 18 on the list leaves me cold.He may not be a technical wiz but his heart and soul goes into what he plays......he just gets better and better!!!!!
