Pink Floyd belongs wherever they are, well down the list. They should be well behind Neil Young, Johnny Cash and several others on the list. I don't understand this board's fascination with them. Pink Floyd is an alright band, but this notion that they're somehow near the all-time best is flat wrong.
lol at Frank Zappa not being on there.
>metallica
>no megadeth
>mfw
well tbh, there's more wrong with this list than just Pink Floyd being that low. Especially when I see Green Day over PJ.
No King Crimson?
fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
But they have Rush? Got ing damnit.
Rush > KC
Why listen to a very poor man's version of PF when you could just actually listen to PF?
wat
Pink Floyd and King Crimson are pretty different, brah.
Not at all really.
Except for Gilmour being ALOT better than Fripp.
lol notorious fatass over Tupac
Yes, Genesis made it. year.
You don't know about Selling England By the Pound.
No Jeff Mangum.
IIIIIIIIIII LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVEEEEEEEEEEEEEE YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU JAAAAAAAAAAAAYSSSSSSSUUUUSSS CUUUUUHRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIISSSSSSSSSSSSSTTTT
no
?
yet the likes of jay-z and justin timberlake made it.
meh
How the is Beyonce greater than The Stooges?
yeah, the list sucks. moving on..
These lists are always ridiculous, but amusing in their own way.
I saw Justin Timberlake here and almost dismissed it immediately, but thought, meh, I don't like his music or his style of music, but I can at least recognize some talent there. He's not horrible. But then I noticed he was ranked above Otis Redding, Janis Joplin, Van Morrison, The Cure, and Run DMC. Figured it was time to just stop reading at that point.
>Don't like JT
>like Coldplay
I just realized Kiss is on the list. That makes this the worst VH1 list ever.
Seriously? That's just laughable.
Why is Aerosmith higher than John Lennon? Why are The Kinks way down at #39? Why is Van Halen ahead of Al Green? Why is Jay-Z ranked higher than Parliament?
The VH1 lists are almost always horribly wrong, but this is easily one of the wrongest I've seen from them.
He's at #10.
Even Stevie saw that one, laka.
Pink Flyod is top 5.
And what did they base on to put Justin Timberlake ahead of Eminem? Coldplay too? Rage against the machine top 50?
I think it's fan based, or musician based voting.
Just in terms of personal preference, I've never been a huge fan of Led Zepplin or The Who. And I think Nirvana is high (but not surprising) at #14. In general, though, the top 15 really isn't that bad. Even the bits I don't agree with there at least make sense.
From there on the whole thing just goes crazyface, though. Madonna over Queen, U2 over Marvin Gaye, The Clash, and Chuck Berry... crazyface.
Pavement and Kraftwerk are also missing.
