So...what's wrong with SV then?

Is it just that he was unsupported?

I'm going to have a hard time subtracting from some of these bands. :(

Well, a good Battle will have all great bands, and you just have to pick the ones you think are the most worthy. For example, I don't dislike the Smashing Pumpkins, I just don't think everyone else is better.

Meh... SV is not the god of guitar. That would be Carlos Santana :p
Of course, David Shankle is my favourite (when not counting Malmsteen).

Bah, certainly there are at least four or so guitartists above both...

Jimi Hendrix
Jimmy Page
BB King
Robert Johnson

If you're talking just in terms of vthe viruoso guitarists, Satriani is better than Vai.

Good call, that makes five... In fact I'd put SRV and Jeff Beck ahead of them too. My list would be thus...

Jimi Hendrix
Jimmy Page
BB King
Robert Johnson
SRV
Eric Clapton
Duane Allman
Jeff Beck
Chuck Berry
Carlos Santana
Keith Richards
David Gilmour


Then Satriani and Vai, I've never liked Malmsteen... I think he's horribly overrated.

There is truth to that. He is overrated. It is impossible to say which guitarist is the best in the world. I forgot to say Michael Angelo Batio on that list :D
