Hey, folks, where is Pete in the survey conducted by
Total Guitar? 
The Top 20 were 1. Jimi Hendrix, 2. Jimmy Page, 3.
Eric Clapton, 4. Slash, 5. Brian May, 6. Joe Satriani
(soloist), 7. Eddie Van Halen (Van Halen), 8. Dave

Vaughan (Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble), 20.
Angus Young (AC/DC).
Jonny Greenwood of Radiohead came in at 35 and Noel
Gallagher from Oasis at 50.
Why Pete Townshend is so underated? I simply don't
understand. OK, his fingers velocity on soloing isn't
very well, but his global approach in terms of chords
succession combined with rapid solos is very unique
and original -  it is the core of Who's sound and one
of the reasons why is so difficult emulate that style,
i.e, our beloved Maximum R&B style.
But, as people say, life goes on.
