I think Jack White is very similar to Jimmy Page in his exploration of the instrument. He goes all over the fucking place, and he's very, very good in each iteration. He also is pretty popular with the music dorks, the critics, and the general rock-listening population. That's a hard thing to pull off.
It's obvious that they took three guitarists from different eras. Who else over the last 15 years or so do you think even comes close to qualifying?
