I do not know who wrote that, but they are strange. Very strange indeed. Funny name, the sandboxVisit [1].

Yeah, Rolling Stone are experts.

Queen, Pink Floyd, Van Halen, Rush, Deep Purple (one of the inventors of heavy metal, mind you), YES, Geneisis, and R.E.M were all left out.

I don't need to tell everyone why Queen and Pink Floyd were inovative.

Van Halen REDEFINED guitar rock. They were fresh, unlike any other heavy metal or hard rock band to that point...you could dance to their music or rock out majorly to it. Eddie Van Halen was a guitar virtuoso unlike any other. And yet they're completely ignored.

Much like Queen, Van Halen is a group with one member that gets critical plaudits from US critics, but yet the group as a whole is often overlooked. Pathetic.

David Bowie ends up at 38. One of the most influential and creative artists of all time ranked under MADONNA.

For that amtter, she beat out Eric Clapton, Elton John and Cream, too.

Somehow, the most overrated band I can possibly think of (Nirvana) gets another juicy tribute for being an okay rock band of the 90's.

Note to critics; Nirvana weren't INFLUENTIAL. Led Zeppelin was influential because their music inspired other artists who also made good music, but incorporated Zep-elements into their styles.

Nirvana spawned imitators trying to make it big by ripping off their style, which sold them 10 million albums to the "alt-rock" crowd.

That doesn't make Nirvana "great."

Never mind that R.E.M. helped shaped the sound of the 80's and 90's, that they influenced groups like Sonic Youth and The Pixies.

Let an incredibly artistic rock band like R.E.M while you canonize Nirvana which only spawned braindead imitators and legions of cokehead teens trying to be "alt." (despite the fact that Kurt Cobain himself often cited R.E.M. as an influence)

And don't even get me started on the most overrated artist of all time, Bob Dylan. Nice lyrics, but his music and voice were nothing special at all in my opinion. Other glaring issues

Cream, Guns N' Roses, Black Sabbath and AC/DC below AEROSMITH and THE SEX PISTOLS?!?

Prince beats out the Who.

And omfg, another piece drooling over The Clash. The Clash are good, but they're (again) grossly overrated. Sickeningly. Much like The Doors. I really enjoy the Doors, they're pretty kick-ass, but in this list they're overrated.

And most glaringly, QUEEN didn't even make the fucking list.
