It's deja vu all over again. :-) This list was done to death on
another list I'm on, so maybe I'll get to experience that all over
again.  Remember folks, this is ROLLING STONE.  Enough said.

BTW, to illustrate the idiocy of it all, Robert Randolph (#97) doesn't
even play *guitar* (as his primary instrument).  He plays pedal steel,
which is a very different animal.  Bass guitar is closer to guitar
than that, and you don't see any bassists eligible, do you?...

Rolling Stone should stick to what they're good at: boy bands and
reality show stars.

Cheers,

Paul.

PS: I really like Robert Randolph, so I'm not knocking on him.
