I'm sure I could find lots of other bands and artists who more deserve to be on that list. Santana had 2 wicked albums. That's it. Steppenwolf had two good albums. What about Pink Floyd? Or the Moody Blues? It's a matter of taste. For personal reasons, I would rather see a laundry list of what I believe to be better bands on the list than a bunch of sellout hacks whose labels probably paid to get there. Who made this list? Do we really trust David Geffen and Billy Gibbons' taste? 50 Cent's write-up was the best too. These are such a pointless waste of time.

I didn't even notice that Pink Floyd wasn't on the list, that is terrible. Here is a quick list of who should be taken off.
  • Tina Turner
  • Dr. Dre
  • Madonna
  • Tupac
  • U2
  • Nine Inch Nails
  • Lynyrd Skynyrd
  • The Beastie Boys
I really didn't want to stand up for the thing, I just thought that a couple of the artists that you pointed out were half decent. But I get your point.

were the Talking Heads or the Smiths on it? Probably not, but they definitely should have. Probably Beck too.

I remember seeing the Eagles on it. ugh.

Tina, yeah, but I would make a case for Ike & Tina 'cause Tina's 80s crap was bad then and hasn't aged well since. I'd take "She's So Unusual" over anything by her solo any day.

Ah, but lists like this sell magazines because every corner of the internet has a message board loaded with discussions of what wasn't included.

If you ask me, this list isn't hardly worth spitting at. There are so many people that aren't on it that really should have been. The first that comes to mind is Frank Sinatra. Not putting him on the list is criminal. You might not like him, but he was the king in his day. Ranking people such as Eminem and Frank Zappa above Miles Davis make me what to get up now, head to the bathroom, and stick my finger down the back of my throat and puke. The Beach Boys are not better than Led Zeppelin, I don't care what anybody says. Little Richard...Top Ten...don't belong in the same sentence. Not that I don't like him, he's great, but top ten OF ALL TIME? No, ladies and gentlemen, no. Another thing--what does "all time" mean? 1963? If we are talking about all time, then shouldn't Beethoven be on there? This list should have never been issued; all it is is somebody's personal favorites. Don't go by this list.
