h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Well, tell us please!
And please try not to use this for chatting. If you think that's hard, you should see what's happened to the I'm A Freak Too Honest thread.

1. Eric Clapton
2. Ry Cooder
3. Mark Knopfler
4. Stevie Ray Vaughan
5. Pierre Bensusan

1. Jimi Hendrix
2. Frank Zappa
3. Eric Clapton
4. Jimmy Page
5. Steve Vai

Thanks, this is a pretty cool idea! (It would be a good addition to keep track of the number of votes at the top of the page and the number of first place votes in parentheses beside each name)

1. Frank Zappa
2. Ralph Towner
3. Ry Cooder

I love classic rock, but I'm a bit more modern when it comes to my favorites.

1 Steve Vai (Ya gotta see him in concert!)
2 Jimi Hendrix
3 Kim Thayil
4 Dick Dale (Sixty+ and still puts Eddie Van Halen to shame)
5 Les Claypool (We can include bassists, right?)

1=. Jimmy Page
1=. Jimi Hendrix
3. Mark Knoffler
4. Eric Clapton
5. Hank Snow

Rolf Harris (best white didgeridoo player)

Jimi X-good idea! I'll act on it soon (time constraints are terrible!)

flyboy-I never thought of that. Sure you can vote for bassists. Electric, slide, rhythem, acoustic, bass...makes no difference. Just don't vote for yourself ok!

1. James Hetfield
2. Kirk Hammett
3. Marty Freidman
4. Dave Murray
5. Gary Moore

It has to be: the one, the only Mr Pat Metheny!

What about:

- Joe Satriani (thrasher). And I remember seeing his band in Montreal just after the release of "Surfing with the alien" - 3 guys - Stuart Hamm is a pretty awesome bass player too. Blew me away, ...man, as it did the other 1000 or so folks at the club.
- Al Di Meola (US jazzy kinda guy)
- Andres Segovia (Spanish classical)

Hiya Mike A - here's another suggestion - how about posting into the forums something to indicate 'points counted to here' or somesuch - just so that those of us with a competitive nature can see how their favourite is going.

Faves include: Hendrix, Ben Harper, Brian May, David Gilmour

Bassists: Geddy Lee (Rush), Muz Skillings (Living Colour)

Please can we have these in lists of 1-5, like people did up there.
It makes it a darn lot easier to figure out who's scoring how many points.

Bruce-can you clarify on that please? My brain hurts!

But that means we have to put 5 guitarists on... which I can't think of ATM.

It means I have to cut one, and say that one is better than the other. I liked the guys I picked, but I can't say I listen to any one more than the others at any one time.

1... Joe Perry (Aerosmith)
2... Phil Collen (Def Leppard)
3... Slash (Guns N Roses)
4... Eric Clapton
5... Kurt Cobain

Contraversial compared to everyone elses I know - but I stand by my choices

LOL - I know the feeling - I meant when you update the scores on thepage, maybe yo ucould post something to this forum stating you'd counted to that point

;^)#

1. Eric Clapton
2. Robert Johnson
3. Ry Cooder
4. John Hammond
5. John Lee Hooker

That's today, it may change tomorrow

Aarrgghhh, I wanna add Richard Thompson but I don't want to bump anyone else. Can I put him equal third?
