Well, it's better than #100!

[PenguinHead]

It doesn't matter where he ranks. It's just a list of someone's opinion. We make those lists all the time! I think the world is quite aware of Lindsey's exceptional and unworldly talents. He makes it clear he knows it too, in his own passive/aggressive way

It's kind of funny that in this swarm of male dominance there is Bonnie Raitt and Joni Mitchell. Bonnie is one of those artist that I have deep respect for, but don't follow her or have any of her albums. In contrast, Joni is a major presence in my world. I have all of her numerous eclectic albums. She's a very prolific and challenging artist.

[Stormwind]

As a "guitarist" he'll probably never get a very good position on these lists for many reasons, but in my opinion, as a musician in "toto", well that's another story: not many guitarist have, or had, the same amount of talent in producing, singing etc.
