The Rolling Stone Magazine just released their list of the top 100 guitarists of all time. 100 Greatest Guitarists: Ry Cooder | Rolling Stone
Jimi Hendrix
Eric Clapton
Jimmy Page
Keith Richards
Jeff Beck
B.B.King
Chuck Berry
Eddie Van Halen
Duane Allman
Pete Townshend
My favorites after the top 2 - Stevie Ray Vaughan came in at # 12 and Carlos Santana at #20. Paco de Lucia was not mentioned even though he is the best Flamenco guitarist alive and easily (and really) one of the top guitarists. I like Rolling Stone but, like occasional other aspects of US culture, they do seem to suffer from a narrow and inward view of the world.
