Kind of a pointless argument, To a point its like arguing apples and oranges. Are you gonna judge on sheer technical ability or songwriting?
I mean Paul Gilbert can rip like no ones business, but hes not the songwriter that say Neil Young is. That being said Neil couldnt play what Gilbert does as his warm up exercises.Anyways here the list of guys that get me inspired:
Hendrix
Randy Rhoads
Eddie
Paul Gilbert
Vai
Gary Moore
Andres Segovia
Joe Bonamassa
Dimebag
Duane Allman

Jack White?! That guy was a star for 5 minutes, doesn't deserve to be in the top 100 not with the quality of other guitarists out there.
I agree with you about cobain, he was a good guitarist/singer/song writer, but nowhere near 12 place!
And I deffinately agree about John Frusciante (dunno how to spell) that guy wrote some fucking good songs for RHCP.
Jairo Guedz from sepultura, man that band, when it was all original members was fucking impressive!!

Hendrix has to be at the top of my list. Also up there, Stevie Ray, Jeff Beck, Page, Clapton (although IMO he is less versatile than many others), and who can forget the man that inspired Hendrix, Stevie etc, Buddy Guy?
Many mentioned (like Lennon) shouldn't be on a list o top guitarists. Sure, Lennon wrote some great songs and could rock the guitar, but couldn't rip off a jaw-dropping solo.
I saw Joe Satriani with Chickenfoot several months ago, he is awesome (and yes, my jaw dropped multiple times)

I found the leads in "Get Back" to be pretty mindblowing. Granted they aren't played a million notes a minute. But there isn't really much of a place for shredding in pop music.

David Gilmore is fucking good, I forgot about him!
On the slide guitar!
Shine on You Crazy Diamond live in London (the Pulse DVD is so good) is one of the best displays of live music I have ever seen!

Hahahaha, good luck with that man! I don't think you need to organise a list though dude, it's cool enough just to see what everyone is in to.
