thats because all of this is subjective and more often than not today's top guitarists list are based on who can play 15,500,991 notes per second more than anything...
in my opinion there are too many prodigies out there who think playing guitar means "shredding"
we should have just let shredding die like the rest of the 80's (unless someone can do it tastefully and melodicly like eric johnson, via, or satch).

While I agree with what you said (for the most part), that wasn't what I meant in my earlier post. In reference to "Guitar Gods" I was thinking of Clapton, Hendrix, King, Santana, Vaughn, etc., none of whom fit into the "shredding" category, at least not in my opinion.
Of course, I realize the subjectivity of such a matter, and that any definitive statements made by members of this board can and will be torn apart by other members of the board. However, I don't believe that discussion boards must consist solely of facts swapped between users; rather, a forum such as this is an ideal place for an exchange of opinions and alternating views, in which case subjectivity is embraced.
Please don't take this as a rebuttal; its intention was far different. I am merely commenting on your comment.
