Recently, the editors at Rolling Stone picked Chuck Berry's Johnny B. Goode as the greatest guitar song of all time - or at least until they do another such list. And that magazine's readers have now voiced their opinion and named Nirvana's Smells Like Teen Spirit as the coolest guitar anthem ever.
