Another top 40 listy type thing.

WTF? Christina Aguliera isnt a band, she is a... How shall I put this... Woman of low moral fibre.

That list is shit.
 
Thats The Vines you are thinking of Sydo.

Slayer didnt even make the list. DISGRACEFUL.
 
I guess that's why the list says "today", and not "ever". They do say in a couple of spots that "If this list out last year this person would be higher/lower."

I thought it was interesting to see the type of people making waves in the industry, particularly Outkast. They seem to be more important that I thought they were.
 
I've barely heard of any of them. Who the fuck are The Flaming Lips and what kind of a band name is that? And how can a band with such a ridiculous name be #1 band in America?

If the list at least included bands such as Bon Jovi, Kiss and Aerosmith it would at least be slightly less totally not even worth reading.
 
These are the people on that list that I think deserve mentioning.

Emmylou Harris
Marilyn Manson
Steve Earle
Iggy and the Stooges
REM
Tom Waits
Madonna
Red Hot Chili Peppers
Dolly Parton
Bruce Springsteen
Eminem

Granted, I'm possibly not up with what all the youg kids are listening to these days, but I'm not sure what's particularly great about any of the others.

It says the Flaming Lips have been around for 20 years. hmmm. I may have to check them out at some point.
 
I liked how they ignored Creed and Nickelback, the 2 biggest bands in the entire world probably, simply because they sell loads of albums and get played on the radio a lot.
 
Madonna doesnt write her own stuff. Nor is she a band. And she needs to kiss girls to get any attention now. So I dont think she can actually be considered important. Perhaps if they listed the people who wrote her songs and produced her albums I would agree.

Anyway, Creed and Nickelback should have been on that list in place of 2 others. I dont know which 2 because I cant be bothered checking the list again :)
