If Avril Lavigne is one of your favourite guitarists, you would be justified in voting for her. Why are other bands more DESERVING? Just because they are better at guitar, which again is not what this poll is about? Since favourite is an opinion, you can't say that some bands deserve to be people's favourites more. You have no idea what criteria people use to decide on favourites, they could have very personal reasons that you know nothing about. It's different with "best", because there are definite criteria to decide on that, but "favourite" could have nothing to do with talent or ability.
