But on the upside they have "You Really Got Me" by the Kinks at #4 which is not bad ... that song doesn't usually get the credit it deserves for creating a whole new guitar sound. The Kinks, if they are on these lists at all, usually come in around #80 or so, so I'm very pleased to see them (specifically guitarist Dave Davies) get some recognition.

I completely agree with you about the Kinks. They rarely get credit for their work. I was in England when "You Really Got Me" came out and it really got me.
Oh Well certainly should be represented. Green Manalishi while an exceptional song is probably not a guitar influence. The song doesn't rest on it's guitar work. Every part drums, guitar bass and voice are integral to the song. You can't one part out and say that's the part that makes the song.
