What are your thoughts on this?

[bibletoter]

Whoever put Guns n Roses before Kiss must be nuts.
And Nirvana before Aerosmith?

[Thud]

Pretty good list, with a few exceptions. Pat Benetar?

Spinal Tap made the list.

[John Prophet]

Nirvana ahead of Halen? lol

[no1_vern]

I dont know who made the dicisions but someone should give them a clue.

[waferdog]

I take great exception with the relatively low rankings of Faith No More and Iron Maiden. I could think of a few bands ahead of them that they easily suppplant.

never did like led zepplin..... but JP&RP by themselves were alright... Def leppard at 31? id put Gnr and them waaaay before KISS.

[Detritus]

Where's Dream Theater? I was glad to see King Crimson make the list, King's X was an interesting addition as well, I saw them in concert once with Dream Theater, DT made them look miserable. Aerosmith should be higher than KISS but GNR should definatly be ranked lower. Iron Maiden should be ranked higher. I also think the Ramones are ranked a little high. I also think Smashing Pumkins could use a little higher rank.

Nirvana in the top ten (?), please!
