Haven\'t looked at it much yet, any thoughts?
-
I think the right bands are up there but in the wrong places.
-
I disagree with the placement of some bands.... Pink Floyd, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, and the Beach Boys definately should have been higher. Sonic Youth at #17? And why is Radiohead in front of the Jimi Hendrix experience?
-
U2 should be in the top 10 at least, they have put out alot more hits and cultural changing songs in the past 20 years.
-
U2 cought my eye a well. Very surprised they weren\'t in top 10.
-
No WAY did they put Pink Floyd at #49 - below Korn!! OMG Pink Floyd deserved to be at least in the top 5 or 10.
-
1
THE BEATLES
2
RAMONES (the WHO should be here)
3
LED ZEPPELIN
4
BOB MARLEY & THE WAILERS
5
NIRVANA (WTF ? 15 at the best !)
6
PARLIAMENT/FUNKADELIC (who ?)
7
THE CLASH
8
PUBLIC ENEMY ( good but not top 10 material)
10
BEASTIE BOYS (me thinks they are taking the Pi$$)
-
here\'s MY top 10:
1. The Beatles
2. Led Zeppelin
3. Nirvana
4. The Jimi Hendrix Experience
5. Pink Floyd
6. Rolling Stones
7. The Clash
8. Pearl Jam
9. The Beach Boys
10. Rage Against the Machine
-
Metallica should have been higher IMO.
-
How could bands like Korn make the list when bands like Tool and Slayer were left out, both higly original and influencial, originallity goes to Tool and influence goes to Slayer.
-
1. David Bowie
2. The Who
3. the Sex pistols
4. The Jam
5. The Smiths
6. The Style Council
7. The Stone Roses
8. Elton John
9. The Police (before Sting went Crap)
10. Kylie Minouge

Is Sting the only straight person on your list?
-
Korn, 48th w00t!
-
sonic youth fully deserved to be in the top 10
they were around before any "alternative" band ever thought of doing it
"the year punk broke" *cough*
-
he hee...
I saw nirvana OPEN for sonic youth in sacramento, 1989...
they sucked....

I totally agreee with you ! FLoyd should be in the top 10! DArk Side of the moon is the longest lasting Billboard record! How could they NOT be in the top 10! and hendrix sholud be Higher "no pun intended".
:hat:ScottyJ:hat:
-
RHCP is easily 10X better than Rage Against the Machine... This list is total crap....
I hate U2... ugh..
-
Overall, it seemed like decent placement to me, although there were a few things that struck me as being out of place.
The Who, Pink Floyd, and The Beach Boys probably should have been higher. Not top 10, but top 25 probably. Korn...they shouldn\'t even have been considered for this list.

I wasn\'t even expecting it! I sure hope the band sees this! :bounce:
-
10. Kylie Minouge
Shes worse than Britney and she doesn\'t even look half as good.
-
Korn definately deserved to be up there. They made that rock/metal/with a little rap music more popular. Just because you don\'t like a certain group doesn\'t mean you have to bash \'em. And yes, Pink Floyd should have been much higher.
-
Did you even see my pic dude?
-
Yeah i saw it. But i was talkin to shock, not you. :D
They keep putting their new CD off, they need to put it out already damnit.

I hate to tell ya this, but Korn was NOTHING revolutionary. They weren\'t even that good...
They shouldn\'t come close to cracking the top 100, much less the top 50.

Nice opinion.

considering Korns first (and best) albumns were written while Jonathon Davies was drunk one night, getting in the top 50 is a pretty big accomplishment
and Spin magazine is a piece of ****.. dont take their word for anything..
the ONLY three bands in the top ten that deserved to be there are The Beatles, Nirvana and Led Zeppelin :) actually, Rolling Stones deserve their place too.. Velvet underground is adequately placed..
Pearl Jam and Pink Floyd and Black Sabbath should have been higher.. also missing many bands such as Stone Temple Pilots, Slayer and Tool should DEFINATELY be in there.. bands i THINK should be in there as well are Pantera, Electric Light Orchestra, Nine Inch Nails, Marylin Manson
note: those choices i made are not made by personal taste, just who i think are the most talented/influential etc.

you mean korn, seeing something in spin magazine?
nooooooooo...
im sure korn\'s 250 publicists and agents never read spin magazine.
i just wanted to point out that the whole rock/rap thing was started by anthrax.

while i agree with you on everything else..isnt NIN just one person, Trent Resner??
**EDIT**At one point in time anyway.

Marylin Manson talented???

The Beastie Boys ranked in the top 10 and KISS is at #32? The Ramones at #2? PUH!!! :mad:
-
Well, at least they got the GratefulDead up there in the right spot. Maybe couldda been a little higher.. after all.. they did found a counterculture reveloution which has lasted over 30 years and have played more songs/shows that just about any band in history. They\'re in the Guiness Book of world records even.
Pink Floyd should have been much higher. I think this list was based more on popularity than talent.. with a few historically important bands tossed in to make it seem legitimate. What a bunch of horse sh*t.
Oh, and LUKE... I dunno if Anthrax "Started" the Rock/Rap trend.. but they definately helped found it. There\'s another band out there that I think deserves just as much credit as Anthrax....
Suicidal Tendacies. (Woullda found a cool image.. but I couldn\'t get one in 5 mins or less so fuxor it.)
"Step up sucka, understand. Don\'t you know? I\'m da man!" :p

yes, you make a good point. while anthrax got more mainstream success from "im the man" and then re-doing "bring the noise" with public enemy, tendencies was was doing the exact same thing, just without mainstream success.
oh and here you go....

funny, I think of the beastie boys more as a group..not a band if that makes any sense. As for the Ramones, IMO, they have been rather influential.
-
Yeah, I have no arguements with the Ramones being where they are. That might just be because I personally like them a lot though.
-
i was happy, ya\'ll remember my old name... right?
-
The Beatles?

The Beatles?
whats so hard to believe they are number one? they have been one of thee most influential groups of them all.
-
Definitely. It\'s not rocket science. Like them or not, they were - and still are the most influential group of all time.

Marylin Manson talented???
i think he is one of the most talented men in music today, from his lyrics to his live performances, he has been very influential..
just because you might not get him, dont meen squat :)
Luckee>>>"whats so hard to believe they are number one? they have been one of thee most influential groups of them all."
\\/apor Snake was actually making a joke towards what Billy B1tch-Cakes said... made me laugh :)
-
After looking over the list its utter trash. No Eagles in the top 50.:(
-
How The Smashing Pumpkins dind\'t make that list is beyond me, and the fact that Korn DID make the list blows Spin Magazine\'s credibility right out of the water.
-
I can\'t believe you people are frustrated about the placement of Smashing Pumpkins and Korn and Tool.... ??? :rolleyes:
Give me a break
I can\'t fu**ing believe that The Allman Brothers Band and Crosby Stills Nash & Young are not on that list, yet frigging Outkast and Korn and Kraftwerk ARE on it. Why would they put LYNYRD SKYNYRD and NOT the Allman Brothers???? Idiotic Spin magazine has their heads up their asses.

this is my take...while outkast certainly deserves recognition, they arent a "band"...korn shouldnt even be on the list period.. The rest of yer statement, I can agree on.

How about Backstreet Boys? NSync? OTown? :rolleyes:
