Page, Hendrix and Clapton get "grandfathered" into every single one of these lists, when their primary contribution has really not been as players, but as influences to their vastly superior successors. Their time is long, long past. I wholeheartedly and completely disagree.

What have they done recently that sounds the least bit new? Clapton sounds exactly the same today as he did in 1969. They were innovators then, but they've done nothing to advance the art of guitar since...save to inspire younger players.
