A few episodes ago, we critiqued Rolling Stone's 250 greatest guitarists list. Upon hearing that show, our friend John asked us to "do the top female guitarists next... and include Marshall from Martin VS Martin". This episode is exactly that. The greatest female guitarists (according to Maury, Spoon and Marshall).

In today's episode we're discussing the Rolling Stone 250 greatest guitarists of all time. List like these were made for debating - and now it's our turn to dissect and debunk this enormous - and erroneous, collection. Should Neil Young be 100 spots higher than Stephen Stills?
