Paul does not belong on that list, you know it and I know it. The top 2 by a mile should be Jimmi and Santana, and if we were to start including the classical guitarists, amazing blues players [BB King, SRV] then that list would look a whole lot different. It's a meaningless poll aimed at the Inde crowd, who generally smell, dress bad and too much upto their eyes in student debt and beer to appreciate good music!. That said , lets vote!.

Jesus, I have turned into Paul Calf today!.

Come on guys!...Prince is up to 5.02 with a big effort we can get him into the top 20....other fan sites are on it!..so come on!!.. let's get him up to where he should be..No1??...stop knocking and do something productive..

funkyhead said:

Santana in the top 2? Are you out of your mind? All he does is aeolian pentatonic with the occasional 2, but he does it out of position so that it looks like he's doing something amazing. Santana is the stuff that I teach people who suck but want to impress others.

And I'm an indie kid, and I smell good and have a damn nice fashion sense. Though, I am in a shit load of debt... You got me on that one.

I say that we try to vote Nick Zinner down so that Zappa can stay on the list if we get Prince up there.

5.03 - probably will be slower now because there will be lots people around this score but not imposs and if he is on front page much easier

Frank is now 5.12 Prince is 5.03 - getting there

ritaw said:

Now 5.04

Savage said:

still 5.04 slooooowwwww.....
as far as i can see the only people in front of Prince are Dave Grohl Foo Fighters 5.06 and Nick Valensi Strokes 5.05 so he is around no. 23 or so at present

5.05 now

This is wrong but if you want to vote just 1 for Frank Zappa and take him down so we can see who our closest rivals are then click this

Ah! I thought Zappa was above Zinner at one point! What happened?!

timorousme said:

I think Prince is just behind him and equal to one other can't remember the name - just have to keep voting

ritaw said:

now 5.07

Phew....after 15 mins of clicking "1" for everyone apart from Hendrix & Weller, Prince finally arrived - great pic - was 5.07 when I voted....let's keep on clickin' guys & gals!!

Just tried to vote again, and got Courtney Love 3 times in 5 mins....WTF? P still at 5.07.....

try the link on page 1 - first or second post - tales you straight to vote for Prince

Prince is now at 5.08 the number 20 is at 5.11

http://www.nme.com/index....ng=1&id=95

Take Nick Zinner down 5.10

Prince at 5.08

Prince is at 5.09! We're so unbelievably close!

Prince, Frank Zappa, and Nick Zinner are all at 5.10 right now. I'm seeing Frank Zappa and Nick Zinner constantly switching places for the 20th spot, so they're really close. I just got Prince to 5.10 a few minutes ago, so it'll take a good bit to get him up there. If we move him up to 5.12 or 5.13, we might be good, but it's probably best to keep voting for him even after he gets there just to be safe.

timorousme said:

i think i voted forty times this morning and did not see a move, are you sure this works? although if he is up to 5.10 probably

Prince is now at Number 20! Picture and all.

Excellent! Let's try and move him up the table now!

Savage said:

lets go for it

to be fair, there are some very strange names in the top 5, May, Slash, Strummer and bradfield as the greatest guitaristz, sounds more like a piss take

Here's how I'm moving Prince up now. Maybe you guys can do the same.

If you have Mozilla Firefox, find and download the "reload every" plug in. After that open up the window with Prince getting a 10, and set the reload every to "every 5 seconds." I then opened up four more tabs of it and enabled all of them to reload every 5 seconds. Now, Prince is getting on average, a 10 rating every second.

hahahahahahahahahha

oh christ, i am here refreshing like a fool, I was thinking earlier today, that this is worst than the TM obsession during the summer

I think it will be difficult to get him up above anyone else but what the hell. All we can do is keep trying!

Well done everyone who voted for Prince.

I spent so much time clicking a 1 for many people, and I gave Prince a 10 twice. His rating never changed! He stayed a 5.11! I give up! Please i need others to help.

You're still doing it the hard way! Just click on the link below and you don't have to go through the whole cycle voting for everybody - just rate Prince.

http://www.nme.com/index....47[/quote]

Once you have clicked on this link, the page should say: You have just rated Prince with "10".

Then what I do is close it. Come back to this thread, and click the link again. That way you by-pass all the voting for the other people, and just vote on Prince.

Hope this helps!

Number 20 with 5.12 now
