That said, I'll contribute:

"Eddie Van Halen was NOT a great guitar player."

He certainly mastered the fretboard and played fast but wasn't particularly innovative.

I wouldn't necessarily disagree. I think his impact in terms of popularizing tapping was very large, but he wasn't the most skilled player we've seen.

I'll also contribute. I think Pink Floyd is good but I have a very difficult time listening to them. I don't doubt their artistry, but I feel like I might need to be on an acid trip to truly enjoy them

I don't particularly like the Grateful Dead Either.
