Best Guitarist: The Edge
Esquire magazine has given Edge its Esky Music Award for Best Guitarist. Of the U2 guitar hero, the magazine says:
"Influence? Ingenuity? Sheer grace? The Edge has got 'em. If Bono is U2's magnetic rattle, he who was born David Evans is U2's gloriously infallible and apolitical hum. And he's not just a guitarist's guitarist, he's also the heart and soul of one of the most important rock bands ever. We think if anyone in U2 should have a God complex, it's this man. That he doesn't is even better."
We can't help but agree.
U2 is also included in Esquire's poll of The Best Song of the 21st Century with "Beautiful Day" battling it out against 31 other songs. The winning song will be chosen via single-elimination match-ups and "Beautiful Day" is pitted against The Strokes' "Last Nite." The winner of that match will go up against either 50 Cent's "In Da Club" or The Postal Service's "Such Great Heights."
According to the magazine, "Beautiful Day" has already received, as of January 31st, an impressive 11 percent of votes, placing it just behind Johnny Cash's version of "Hurt" with 14 percent. To place your vote visit Esquire.com.
The Esky Awards and complete list of nominated songs in The Best Songs of the 21st Century are featured in the April 2006 issue of Esquire.
