Greatest Blues Guitarist

[swlabr]

how the hell are the 2 white players winning?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Just because they're white doesn't mean they can't win.

It's all a matter of opinion and if a person feels they shouldn't vote for a black dude 'cause they haven't heard their stuff or just doesn't like their playing, so be it.

I do agree. The blues was very influenced by the African-American culture, but that doesn't mean they're the best (even though B.B King and Buddy Guy are my faves after Clapton ).

yeah I suspect it's probably only because those 2 are the only ones most of the voters have heard. So yeah you're right about that, the fact that the votes aren't even close is very disheartening.

Any of you ever hear of Jimmy Thackery? He used to be the guitarist for a blues band called the Nighthawks, but now he's got his own band. He's just as good as, if not better than, anyone on that list.

Stevie Ray. Was close between B.B. and Stevie Ray, but I just listened to Rude Mood so it had to be Stevie.

[Master Therion]

Robert Johnson was one of the very first Blues guitarists. IMHO he was the greatest.
