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.

This is actually brilliant trolling. "Want to tell me how totally and utterly wrong I am? WELL YOU'RE GONNA INSULT YOUR PRECIOUS JERRY NUNEZ AND VINCENTE AMIGO IN THE PROCESS! HA!"

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?
RE: Paco De Lucia overrated (in reply to brutal truth)
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
