Don't forget George Harrison, ham fisted hack...

Joy Division
Denzel Washington
Rory Gallagher
if we are doing overrated lists
Been uploading old tracks I recorded ages ago and hopefully some new noodles here.
Seriously though, even if you don't like the guitarists/bands in question theres no way Hendrix or Zep are over rated. Stone Roses and Joy Division were genre defining in their time and paved the way for many others. Not to mention Squire is amazing. Rory was a massive influence on others especially Irish players. I'm not a huge fan of Rorys albums but he was a great guitarist. Obviously all of that is IMHO.
The yard is nothing but a fence, the sun just hurts my eyes...
You sum it up in the word influence I think. My favourite ever band is the pixies for the influence they had on me and on other bands I loved. Most people seem totally indifferent or oblivious to them.
No way of knowing how Jimi's output would have changed if he was still around today - Looking at how J Beck, John McLaughlin and Santana went, amongst others, then I guess some form of jazz/fusion influenced
I can hardly say I'm the biggest fan of Jimi I but have a few recordings (I'm more of a placid follower) - Certain tracks like Wind Cries Mary and Little Wing and you have IMO some of the best Strat tones ever - Yet equally I've seen some live footage of various songs that sounds a awful - But boundaries were been pushed and challenged
His influences to others are well known and as with many guitar players, they possess something that we can learn from them - As with all players, there is no gold medal at the end of a 100 meter track, so no one is the best - But many are more influential than others

Why are they considered to be among the ‘greats’?
Joy Division are okay. A couple of good songs but yes, quite influential.
Roses are okay. A couple of good songs.
Speak to any fan an you'd think they were the greatest bands of all time.
Rory could play but not my taste at all. And while lots of people love him who has he influenced that isn't Irish? Who sounds like Rory in the way that, say, SRV inspired?
Nobody had a problem with Denzel though.... Racists!

Let's ask Cynthia Plastercaster.

that said, the duet she did with Barbara Dickson was a cracker!...
