how does it come up - just looks like there are 20

A guitarist will pop up randomly for you to rate. Each time you rate one, another one will come up. The 20 you see is just the current top 20.

Many people believe that he came out on front in the Iowa guitar caucus.

well, okay

pls explain how u vote

me either

On the main page, a random guitarist pops up, you rate that guitarist on a scale from 1-10, then another guitarist pops up, and you rate that one, and the process continues. It will probably take a while until Prince comes up, unless you're lucky.

that totally sucks

I should also add that the picture that they have is great. It's Prince with a blue shirt and a blue Strat in front of a bunch of Orange amplifiers. Prince is so fashion-conscious, he dressed to compliment his gear.

thanks yes got it

I'm going to hope this works, it should be a direct link that gives a "10" rating to Prince. If enough people click it enough times, it might boost him up a bit. Though, at his current stance, it's going to take a lot to get him into the Top 20.

god nme is so annoying, not just with the magazine alone...some annoying views; but this bloody thing, cant they just make it easier and put a list up like any normal site instead of having to wade through artists

timorousme said:

It looks like that direct link works (nice job!) but the results haven't shifted since yesturday.

I know it's a subjective thing what people consider the "greatest" anything but that list is a joke! (mostly)

Where the hell is Prince?

I just voted worst (1) on like 5 people
i give up

I know! I'm one of the biggest Joe Strummer fans out there, but he was a horrible guitarist. There is no way that he should be number 6.

However, there is progress being made. When I first saw Prince yesterday, he was at 4.41. Now he's at 4.43. It's getting there.

Oh and mplsmike, try the link I made. Maybe I should edit my initial post and change the link.

took about 15 minutes for him to come round

The link doesn't take you to Prince, it gives him a 10 rating. Notice this a the side:



I'm also happy to post that because Prince is at 4.44 now! More progress!

timorousme said:

Haha, I've been clicking on this link and first his rating was 4.44, now it's up to 4.46.

That took forever! It's now at 4.50

wildgoldenhoney said:

No, I don't know what you mean??

Oh, no I went through about 100 people until I found Prince. Does that work?
