Umm..No Beck? Yet The Strokes made it on? This is a farce..

damn them!
and they also didn't put up "The Steve Miller band"
....i guess this list isn't as great as i thought it was.....
....i don't know who "Patti Smith" is.... :duh:
.....U2, they aren't my thing i guess because i don't really like them (only 2 songs)
....I think everyone has always given "Nirvana" too much credit....i like them but i wonder if all this 'hoop-la' would still be going on if he was alive

why does everything in music that makes a "list" always have to be so dark in tone. my perception of a lot of those albums/bands are very dark in nature. why can't something bubbly and pink and fun make an important list?
i dunno. just my perception maybe. lists are pointless. ??probably.

The stuff I like is what I saw first...
Led Zeppelin, The Beatles, Queen, Jimi Hendrix, Radiohead, PINK fucking FLOYD!, David Bowie, Joy Division, Pixies, Lou Reed, Sex Pistols, The Clash, Smashing Pumpki .........wow
:wow:

list makers ...big flakers ...it's all paid for by boardroom rimjobs and backstage ho' passes... I rarely give a flying fff about these lists save for when spin does the funny ones

that list looks like it was done by children and their pony tailed parents...I'm surprised Blink-182 and Vanilla Fudge weren't neck and beard for 30th place...

Where's Def Leppard's Pyromania and Beck's Odelay...
Bowie was much better after his eyebrows grew back and surely
Blondies greatest hits is one of the greatest ...I would even go so
far as to say the Beastie Boys Check yr head should be in there
as well as Cream and Spinal Tap. Alice Cooper's Love it to Death,
T-Rex the Slider, Melvins Houdini, and Soundgarden's Badmotorfinger.
Metalliska was much more fierce on And Justice for all, PJ Harvey...so much more rock on Rid of Me, Led Zeppelin II and Physical Graffitti more so than III, Blood SugarSexMagic much better than most and STP surely has a place in there at the very least for Core and Purple. Is this a rock or schlock poll?

once again pony tails and pony tail jrs....

ahh trev....

everyone should just make their own list, and screw everybody else's. :D:saint:
i think nurzetrev has a point as well.

I agree!!! lets make a list... then when we show are freinds we can all argue over who is right....

I agree however... no beck????? but they missed a million other good bands 2....:ticking:

"I stole my sister's boyfriend. It was all whirlwind, heat, and flash, within a
week we killed my parents and hit the road."
"Nothing...lipstick, a little blood".
The artwork is so...of a would be story that makes you wonder...such a kool thing no doubt...

I put on Sy's GOO this morning and 1000 nights of 90's rock flashed before my eyes...this one makes me think of boyfriends and girlfriends whenever I hear it...probably cause of the videos, the cover and the lyrics...the video companion to this album is just about due to come out on dvd... I would only imagine it would be in the store today if I went there intending to buy it... the soundtrack to teenage freedom

Where's the White Album? What a ridiculous list... And Nevermind, Nevermind, Neverm.... all the fuckin' time. Here we are now - entertain us. Cannnnnot hear it anymore. All the kids are so big Nirvana fans now (hmmm, I was, too)- they were all like born when Kurt excluded himself out of the genetic pool. :yawn:
-->Nonono, that list is too shifted.

Noisemonster...you should really check out the album 'VAZ -'dying to meet you'...I guarantee you there are not many 'kids' listening to this. It's just gtr/bass (one guy) and drums...formerly of the band Hammerhead...
I really love this record...if you find downloads ...the songs 'they've won' and 'Elastik-C' are just awesome...let me know what you think...originally from US 90's noise capitol Minneapolis, now Brooklyn...

I think Paula Abdul's "Forever Your Girl" should be on that list..:duh:

ME TOO POOBS!!! I can so hear that song in my head right now... To bad my tape got accidently dipped in orange juice ... Paula was my fav bak in the dayz....

Oh man..I loved her..Until she married Emilio Estevez..I was in love with him and hated her for taking him away..That bitch..

speaking of paula dont forget to watch Idol.. it's on tonite right? well i love Jaz and voted for her even though in my heart she stinks hahaah.... :yawn:

I know..I've vowed to stop watching, but it keeps sucking me back in!! I hope Fantasia goes..She sucks so bad..I have a feeling it'll be Jaz though..She's so cute..I would hate to see her go, but she's the weakest singer out of the last ones..Then again, when has talent had anything to do with this show?? *cough*Clay should have won *cough*

hey don't try to stuff yr marshmallow Idols into this here rock chock...:ticking:

Sorry..:duh:

radiohead hits the spot.

oh my.... I must say I love RADIOHEAD (duh)
ah, radiohead.... goodness
:D :D :D :D :D :D

What, no television, interpol, the psychedelic furs, blondie, etc...
Personally, I don't think 75% of those should be on the list.

ah.....The cover of "Nobody does it Better" that Radiohead did is the SHIZIT!!!!!!!!!
