[Heeplist] Top Ten

[Igor Shveitser]

 Hello Pete,
How ever strange it may seem, I know quite a lot about Russian football (actually in a way I am pro in that field as for quite a long time my main job's been football journalism), but the parallel you drew seems incorrect. The proof to me is the respond we got from some other members here (who's first language is definitely not Russian :)))))) , they also see this top-smth as not reflecting the variety of tastes, to say the least. It is never a question of "who's best" because amongst the pros everyone is the best, and the rest has more to do with the way you feel than with their actual skills. Can you seriously compare Malmsteen or Vai to Van Halen or Blackmore to Iommi or Box? NO, because each of them is great in his own unique way. Even Clapton. :)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
Cheers, Igor

>Igor, not to labour a point as English isn't your first language, but the "who's better" you refer to is implied in the subject line of Top Ten.  Top as in best. If I asked you to name the top ten Russian footballers, I wouldn't expect you to tell me just  the players from your favourite team but those you think are best at what they do :-)

> Pete,
>If you excuse me, I want to make it clear, at least I see it that way: was there ever a question of "who's better?" People share their opinions on who they like or even love and sometimes even tell why they do or feel so. For instance, I play some instruments (including various guitars) - but it was never a question of "who's better" for me. What is better anyway? It is only what you really enjoy that matters. Otherwise people would no longer have cared for the likes of Blackmore, Gilmour or even Mick Box because in every new generation there are players that significantly surpass them from a technical point of view :) And the musci is different as well. But do we really care? :))))) And anyway, you can suggest us making a list of bassists :)))) No problem as well. :))))) Cheers, Igor

>>I never understood polls. How can someone who doesn't play a musical

>>really is name the instrument players from the bands you like for most

>>I've seen a lot of guitar players play very well, but were they better

>>from that point of view then they are. But then I've never really liked 
>>Ffloyd anyway and I don't really go a great bundle on guitar music on 
>>its own. That's why I always used to watch Trevor during Mick's solos. 
>>Metal guitar I generally find very boring.
