Hmmmmmmmmmmm
Jokersmoker

 

[Stark]

I've never seen you around... and you're Elite??

...and the Ramones are not the second best band of all time. Guccione should stick to what he knows and stay away from music.

 

[Ameesh]

Jokersmoker finds the best hot deals, i actually think hes not a person but a bot crawling the web, you should see some of the places he finds deals.

<<I've never seen you around... and you're Elite?? >>

Stark, you've been here since June 2K and you've never been in the Hot Deals forum??? :Q

 

[Stark]

Ah, got it.

No, I obviously don't check out hot deals too often... everytime I do it costs me money.

 

[BigSmooth]

The Ramones are great and all, but better than Zeppelin? The Smiths over Floyd? Uh, no way!

 

[extro]

I can't believe they put Pink Floyd at second to last.

Axl Rose had the best line about Bob Guccione Jr.: "You pissed off that your dad gets more $%#% than you?"

 

[SpongeBob]

The Smiths over Floyd?

I kinda agree with this one, although I think that both bands shoudl have been higher up the list.

Also I think Pearl Jam should've been higher, and nirvana lower. Now I love nirvana, but there's something to be said for the longevity of Pearl Jam, and the fact that they are still putting out quality music.

I was delighted to see Massive Attack made the list, they definitely deserve it.

 

[danieldex]

beatles are the best no doubt

pink floyd should definitely be higher

the who should be in the top 10 (they influenced the ramones and practically every rock band)

radiohead should be in the top ten (best 90's band)

pearl jam should be higher as well

 

[Burnt]

It's Spin magazine, enough said.

 

[woodly6]

I agree with alot of the bands on the lists, and who cares really what order they are in. Music is so opinion based that there will never be full agreence on a "Best of" list.

 

[jobberd]

WHERE THE HELL ARE THE DOORS?!?! :|

<< radiohead should be in the top ten (best 90's band) >>

I don't think they qualify as a rock band

 

[danieldex]

radiohead is already on the list at #15 , spin magazine considers them a rock band, i think they should be higher though

 

[StageLeft]

<< The Ramones were ranked second of the 50 greatest bands. >>

ahahah. I've never met a single person in my entire life who listens to the ramones.

 

[Rudee]

I agree with the first one, but it falls apart from there. A terrible list.

i have heard of the ramones and so have u2,pearl jam,nirvana, and thousands of other bands who were influenced by them

 

[JeffSpicoli]

I'm jammin with Mick and the Stones...

 

[MrChipMuthabored]

uh, where is STYX?!?!?

 

[DevilsAdvocate]

Just because a group is an influence on several others does not make them the second best group of all time.

I don't think that there is really a way to rationally rank the Ramones at #2.

[silverpig]

Floyd should be higher than #49

 

[BoberFett]

The Ramones are excellent.

The omission of The Doors is a crime against music. There's no Police either, for which I give these people a virtual kick to the crotch.

I don't understand the fixation some people have with LedZep and Floyd. Sure they're OK, but not as great as some make them out to be. I guess I just don't light up enough of the wacky weed to get into them.

 

[blues008]

Kraftwerk is higher than Floyd?

Hmmm....and KISS should be higher up as should The Who. I am happy about Bob's place though
