    I'd need to see a full listing. Going by feel alone here, and I think the deads win it. Maybe not though.

    I was pondering this the other day. But if you start running through the list of the greatest bands of all time, a majority of the key members are still alive. Same thing with the solo rock acts.

    Did the greatest living guitar players stop being born around 1960? I know rock is dead now, but there have to be some newer-generation guys missing. Or is this intended to only be living from a bygone era?

    It's hard, because rock is dead. Who are the guitar gods of the 2000's ?

    I dunno. I quit listening to most new music a while back. Matt Bellamy of Muse is the most famous guitar player I can think of who's currently at the top. Dave Mustaine is still shredding in his 60's but he's more of a rhythm guy.

    I mean, I've got a fair number of rock albums in my collection that were released post 2000. I just don't know who the rock guitar gods are anymore. I'm totally ignorant of Muse.

    You guys never think hard first before voting in my music poles and it's hurtful.

    Freddy
    Jim
    Bon
    Ronnie Van Zandt

    Alive:

    Diamond Dave
    Ozzy
    Mick
    Plant
    Daltrey
    Axl
    Bono (overrated)
    Vedder (throwing @pawz a bone)
    Steven Tyler

    That's why they are a front man. A REAL front man can't be bothered with a guitar or bass. They are there to sing and dance and maybe play a little harp or tambourine.
