Back in 2012 local blog CentralTrack released their list of the 100 Greatest Texas Musicians Of All Time and while I agree with much of who made the list, I'm having trouble agreeing with the ranking of some of the artists. Namely one Mr. Stevie Ray Vaughan who comes in at #27? Obviously, from a Classic Rock perspective, you'd expect to see him much higher, if not #1.
Keep in mind, the CentralTrack blog and this article's writer Cory Graves were appealing to a younger demographic, and coming at it from an "all types of music" perspective, including Country, Pop and even Classical.
Here are the Classic Rock artists and their ranking... see if you agree?
74) Jimmie Vaughan
60) Boz Scaggs
58 Steve Miller
49) Johnny & Edgar Winter
47) ZZ Top
32) Pantera
27) Stevie Ray Vaughan
22) Stephen Stills
17) Meat Loaf
14) Janis Joplin
10) Don Henley
3) Roy Orbison
2) Buddy Holly
1) Willie Nelson
