You have to be kidding me

What are you complaining about? They beat Madonna, isn't that enough?

[Mahalo]

99% of the world poops on the Beach Boys, and I say foda them. When it comes down to it great art cannot be ignored or overshadowed by fads, media, or other, lesser artists.

[Mike's Beard]

But, but ,but, but they're behind Nirvana?  WTF?  Maybe if Mike had blasted himself in the head with a shotgun after "Little Deuce Coupe" they be up a couple of places higher? At least they beat soddin' U2!

...... and if The Beatles get voted No1 (which they will) , please feel free to join me in a collective groan across cyberspace.  

[rab2591]

Part of me is irritated at their placement, the other part of me says 'Hey, at least they got recognized!'

Eh, besides a few good hits, I don't see how Michael Jackson or the Rolling Stones are in the top 5. And NIRVANA!?! Come on VH1! They had two decent hits.....and it was nothing too groundbreaking.

I agree with the Beatles, Led Zep, and definitely Bob Dylan, but jeesh, how the foder did Michael Jackson get on that list!? I mean, granted, grabbing your crotch and moonwalking at the same time during a concert is an amazing feat, but does that really warrant a place on the top 100 artists list?

Personally, I am on a mission to spread the Gospel of Brian to all my friends, co-workers, and family. However because of Beatle brainwashing, the un-friendly club music qualities of the Beach Boys, and who knows whatever stereotypes that exist of The Beach Boys, this is an uphill battle. However, I HAVE seen results... because the music does not lie.

Wow...I know the BB should have been rated higher, and I know you guys are upset over it, but those were two of the most musically ignorant posts I have read in a while.

I'm more worried about what isn't in the top 20. Os Mutantes, The Moody Blues, Galaxie 500, Love, Stereolab, Lady Gaga....so many great artists left out!

...but these AOR-orientend lists are notorious for their lethality. If you listen all the way through the top-10, you'll die of boredom.

Well, in my opinion, the Stones, Led Zeppelin, and Nirvana have no business in the top 20, but that's me. I'd like all of our over-caffeinated fans on this board to remember that this VH1 list is just ONE opinion.

And besides, I thought the 100 Greatest Albums in Rock 'n Roll list was simultaneously better and worse than this list. For one, Pet Sounds was #3, beating every other Beatles album on the list to that point. Nevermind was #2. Revolver was #1. I can dig Revolver as #1 since it is a poll that no doubt had the grubby mitts of Rolling Stone involved in its selection, but Nevermind at #2? THAT is batshit crazy.

It's not that bad a ranking, usually in a lot of these lists the BBs are missed out altogether.

IMHO Nirvana is perhaps the most overrated band of the past 20 years. Only Oasis qualifies also for such a title.

Ok, my personal taste got in the way....I recognize MJ's contribution to the pop world. Based on the charts I can see how he is in the top 100 (and sadly the top 5). I don't care for songs like 'Beat It' or 'Thriller' nor do I care for most the music that was inspired by it....it's just not my taste.

[matt-zeus]

One of the worst bands of all time...

[mtaber]

At least they're ahead of Wishbone Ash...

I hear that, how that shower of Mancunian primates ever sold one record is beyond me. Liam Gallagher has got to be THE worst frontman of all time and possibly worst singer of all time into the bargain. I'm surrounded by morons where I work who constantly refer to them as the best band ever, unbelievable.

Hey!! Don't be dissing Oasis...or at least not What's The Story Morning Glory? You can crap the rest of their catalog all you want!!

Now everybody, sing along now! "Sheee's electric. She's in a fam-a-lee full of eccentrics..."

I'll take Led Zeppelin over Oasis anyday.....

[Mr. Cohen]

You may think Oasis was bad, but where were you when we were getting high? Have you ever listened to Oasis during a champagne supernova?

I couldn't agree more, on both fronts.  Nirvana had two gigantic hits.  One was a ripoff of Killing Joke, and the other was heavily influenced by The Pixies (a far superior band).  Never understood why they got so friggin huge.  Still don't.  

As for Oasis, they weren't fit to be mentioned in the same breath as Blur (imo).  

[Jason]

Nirvana, like the Beatles, were the right band at the right time.

At least they turned people on to The Vaselines.
