Not sure if you're aware of this, but US President Barack Obama proclaimed June 2011 'Black Music History Month', and even mentioned rock in the official proclamation: "The artistic depth of soul, rock and roll, and hip-hop not only bring together people across our Nation, but also energize and shape the creativity of artists around the world", it reads. In honor of this, popular/mainstream Black news website thegrio.com published a list of their 'Top 10 Black Guitarists': Lenny Kravitz, Tom Morrello (Rage Against The Machine), Dr. Know (Bad Brains), Buddy Guy, Eddie Hazel (Funkadelic), B.B. King, Slash (Guns N' Roses), Chuck Berry, Prince and number 1: Jimi Hendrix. Sooo... What do you all think? Who's on YOUR list? Let us know in the comments.
