The opposite.
I don't believe in guitar heroes. I like great songs.
So I'd rather listen to Dire Straits than any band Clapton ever put together because Knopfler uses his guitar to create something I find more appealing.
Caveat: I understand that I might be missing something that Beck or Hendrix, etc., are doing musically that doesn't communicate itself to me. And I can even see that somebody like Clapton is 'better' than Jimmy Paige, but Paige created something more than Clapton did, imo, when he put together a band and produced a series of classic songs, albums and tours.

The guitar mags always declare Hendrix as the best when they rate them.

Oh good, there is another Knopfler fan among us. I was beginning to think I was the only one. Considering your handle, I'm guessing you're a Kinks fan as well.

They're just stating the facts.
As LongBeachArena72 stated above: "in rock guitar there is Hendrix and there is everyone else"...this is a fact (imo).

Yes, that was my point.
