Paco De Lucia overrated

Paco De Lucia is the most overrated flamenco guitarist ever. No one outside of Spain can name another flamenco player besides him. 99% only know him by name and probably have never heard any of his songs.

Out of all his catalog, Siroco is the only stand out. I would give it a 7/10.

3 guitarists off the top of my head who destroy boring bland Paco...

#1 Gerardo Nunez
#2 Vicente Amigo
#3 Jesse Cook

Jesse Cook may not be true Flamenco but all but one of his albums destroy Paco's ENTIRE catalog. He also is way better live.

Flamenco vs Flamenco Gerado Nunez owns Paco.

Very true. The National Enquirer is a much more reliable journal than New Scientist, too. People are so imperceptive about these things.

Google of course

As a dedicated Seinfeld fan (i.e., a typical New York Jew) I felt I had to go with that one!

Interesting.
what is the scoring grid? Are we talking music here, or quality of audio, or how their hair look, clothes, maybe, can't be speed, amount of hair left, maybe. You sure it is not 6 out of 10? Are you rounding? was it really 6.5?

Jerry Nunez. I've been laughing at that for the past 15 minutes or so.

Well done Adam! (and thank you)

Should've been Vinnie Amigo as well.

Jesse Cook is so derivative and uninteresting. His music is repetitive and generally unoriginal.

I agree about Paco being overrated (what's he ever done for flamenco?), but the third spot on that list really should belong to Benise.

Do you even play ? I think not

because if you do, you wouldn't say such things. only those who are really into flamenco can know the real value of paco, the value of his incredible un achievable technique, compas, aire and ideas

man siroco is 1000/10
