This was a desperate last-ditch effort to quickly regain some actual musical credentials with the few remaining music fans that read their magazine.

Look at the last three issues. First, Clay The Half Woman Aiken. As if there wasn't enough outrage about putting a half-decent karaoke singer on the cover of their magazine, then they follow that cover by putting a very below-average (although much less disgusting) karaoke singer on their cover. The article was interesting about Ruben though. I got a little bit of info about his musical background, and about his overconsumption of Taco Bell. Maybe that's why he weighs 692 pounds. It went into some serious detail about his meals. I'd feel guilty about spacing out ONE of his feasts throughout the whole day. Then he says "I guess this is just how I am." Good excuse, lardass.

That was already as low as they could go. But wait! THEN they put the fu!king OLSEN TWINS on the cover! By now I think they've lost the vast majority of their readers. They only kept me because I have a free subscription for two years. They had to do something, and fast!

This was the cheapest and most generic way they could somehow look like they're still a music magazine. Picking Jimi Hendrix was a little bit obvious, wasn't it? Of COURSE they're going to pick something easy like that. Eric Clapton at #3? I mean yeah, he's no slouch, but a tad overrated if you ask me. Ry Cooder better than Jimmy Page? Give me a BREAK!

I also think it's extremely hilarious that hacks of the like of John Fruciante, Jack White, Johnny Ramone, and Warren Haynes are considered better players and more important in history than innovators like Steve Howe (I expected his low 69 placement, though undeserved), Eddie Van Halen (at number SEVENTY????) and Dave Gilmour, at a rather pathetic 82! That punk Dereck Trucks came just above him at 81. What the hell has he done? An Allman Bros album and a solo album?

Lou Reed above Blackmore? This whole entire list is a joke! I think it was done via in-office poll.
