Wait a minute! So who wrote Layla, Wonderful Tonight, Tears in Heaven?? Okay, so he's only done a couple, but those are pretty good songs!

yes but hwo wrote all things must pass, taxman, here comes the sun, something, long long, while my guitar gently weeps, I need you etc.

Gilmour played the most powerful...Comfortably Numb solo and Time solo is so powerful

And Echoes solo is very cool.

Oh, and speaking of great songwriters, who wrote: My Generation, Can't Explain, Anyhow, Anyway, Anywhere, Tommy, A Quick One, Magic Bus, Baba O Reilly, Who Are You, Won't Get Fooled Again, Happy Jack, I Can See For Miles, Pictures of Lily, Pinball Wizard, Sally Simpson, Behind Blue Eyes.....To name just a few. Talk about underrated.

yeah! pete is underrated. i totally agree with ya, Sandra.

Extremely!! The whole band is underrated. I still can't get over that they've never even been NOMINATED for a grammy! They should have gotten a lifetime acheivement award last night. Townshend is one of the greatest songwriters of all time.

i agree with you also

Eric clapton hands down

this thread is about the guitarist skills not the guitarist's songwriting skills

I know that, but it was brought up so I went with it. It's okay to go off topic every now and then for the sake of discussion. We're not sticklers.

Im sick of people calling pete townshend overrated when hes one of the greatest guitarists of all time....all i want is the truth, Just Gimme Some truth

To everyone who thinks Pete Townshend is an overrated guitarist-- Buy Live At leeds and listen to every damn song, and come back to the forums and tell me what you think about him now

Yeah, Pete mastered both

I think George Masterd both

These Guiatrists are so close

I voted ofr david glimour but i wanted to vote for george

Skill:
1. Dave Glimour
2. Eric Clpaton
3. George Harrison
4. Pete townshend

Songwriting
1. George Harrison
2. Pete townshend
3. David Glimour
4. Eric clpaton

thats what i think anyway

Harrison is the best overall... about songwriting i agree with you, but for skills:

Clapton (just the best...)
Gilmour
Harrison (about a tie between him and gilmour)
Townshend

thats my opinion
