best guitar/bass/drums of all time

[Francis Joel T <jtf936s@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Badgeholders,
	On the other mailing list I subscribe to (the Who) someone asked
for the list of the top ten guitarists, bassists and drummers of all time.
What is printed below is said to be the "true, official" list, but putting
my Zeppelin bias aside how can it be said that Eric Johnson is a better
Guitarist than Page, or Zack Starkey (Ringo's son) is better than Bonham?
Is this just me?
Thanks,
Joel Francis

Why yes, I just happen to have a copy of it here.  No need to apologize,
actually there is quite a bit of Who content in the answer to your
question.

help.
