Music Quiz: Ranker’s 25 Greatest Guitarists
Congratulations to Rich, Steve, and Aaron who scored full marks in last week’s Rolling Stones quiz.
This week’s challenge requires you to name the top 25 guitarists from Ranker’s list of best guitarists, with the help of some song titles. Because it’s Ranker, it’s effectively a list of community consensus, rather than a panel of experts.

I scored 19/25 – can you beat me?

Hey, now. Thanks for throwing me a bone on this one. 25/25. As a guitarist, I could not afford to NOT get these. There were three I could not place and just started throwing out names and they landed.

I got 21 almost immediately and then scratched my head for the next three minutes. With a few different song titles I could have easily gotten the other 4 but it’s still a respectable score for a drummer.

Yes, does sound respectable for a drummer.

Pretty much the same story as Rich (except for the drummer part). Peeved I didn’t get #8.
And where was Frank Zappa, eh?

Zappa’s at number 27, so almost made the list. I would have assumed he’d be too niche to do well in a community generated list.

20 for me. Ran out of time because I couldn’t spell some of the names.

It’s a grey area, but I think if you can’t spell something on sporcle, it’s ok to ask google.

I did ask google when I got to less than a minute, but she wasn’t fast enough to help me do better. 🙂

I can’t compete with these other scores. I managed 11/25

I’m pretty unknowledgeable about early rock and roll, and about guys like Steve Vai and Joe Satriani, so I struggled at times.

17 of 25 then was drawing blanks. I also didn’t like having to try to spell. 🙂 Had to go to Google a few times
