MMJ's Run Thru is 99th best guitar song...

My Morning Jacket's Run Thru was picked as Rolling Stone Magazine's 99th out of the 100 greatest guitar songs. While I do think Rolling Stone largely sucks (see their 100 Guitar Gods and 100 Greatest Artists of All Time - no Pink Floyd?!?!?!), I am glad to see our boys did not get overlooked.

From www.RollingStone.com-

99 "Run Thru"
My Morning Jacket (2003)

Jim James and Johnny Quaid played the swaggering guitars on this Southern-gothic rave-up, with Skynyrd's heft and early Sabbath's slow-motion pace. And Two-Tone Tommy's thumping bass riff proved guitars don't get all the best licks. And when Carl Broemel replaced Quaid in 2004, "Run Thru" got heavier live — like "Free Bird" and "Kashmir" combined.
