They have a self-titled album, and I've seen it a lot on lists of this type, so I thought you'd be familiar with it. I'd try looking at the entire album; It's kinda one of those 'must-listen's
Well, some might argue it originated in the '90s, but I see what you mean
Idk man, there are some pretty shoddy post-grunge acts, but also some very good ones (like any genre really) ie Foo Fighters
However, the sheer existence of Nickelback certainly brings shame upon the genre, so I do agree on some level haha
A lot of my opinions at the time I created this list are a little out-of-date. I have since looked much further into some of the artists that I had originally thought undeserving of their position. I still wouldn't put Public Enemy in the top 50 of all time, but maybe just shy of it.
Regardless, what do numbers mean, really. Is Curtis Mayfield any less 'great' than Little Richard? Or vice versa? These ranking systems are fickle, and it's impossible to please everyone. You've made some valid points, though
Thanks for the correction :) I didn't notice that typo before, so I appreciate it. I know what it means to be self-contradicting; I merely made a small error (quite small, considering nobody has bothered to correct me on it yet). Your message is riddled with them, so you hardly seem the type to pontificate the English language, with all due respect.
Please note this is not my list. It is RollingStone's. All I did was essentially copy and paste everything here because I thought it would be a great topic of discussion for this website, which has numerous musical experts as members.
p.s.
Also, when I stated 'would be higher if he wasn't wacko' I was commenting on the obvious biase that RS might have against him. It's glaringly obvious, so I won't comment on that particular topic any further
That's hardly a credible argument. Could you please back up those claims? Ginger Baker played for Cream btw; just some obscure little underground band. No big deal or anything...
His influence extends to probably half the drummers on this list, minimum.
I thought that using 'Us' at the beginning of a phrase, and using something synonomous at the end counted as an epistrophe, but I was wrong. But then again, I didn't have the magic of Google on my side
Grateful Dead could be higher yes. Now I'm craving Cherry Garcia ice cream
He's at 76
Because it's 'according to MuchMoreMusic' - Author's Note
Haha I know, I mentioned that in the author's note. The comment above yours is a couple of years old :P

I hate to ask this, being as it is incredibly cliche for this site, but; Thoughts on Faust?

This list is subjective, so it's simply based on my opinion. I believe Robert Plant is just fine at 4, but other opinions may differ
Yeah, yeah, solo artists could be considered 'frontmen' but I didn't feel like calling this list 'greatest frontmen of various bands' or whathaveyou.
It's an old list, and I'll probably leave it the way it is
Have you considered making a list of your own?

Please refer to the comment I made on the 'Greatest Artists of All Time' list that I posted.
Thanks! I have to update it though :P
Nah, they're top 50 material. 'Directly behind the Beatles'? Not in this lifetime. Thanks for the input. Cheers!
I'm not even going to argue with you; your profile name is Lesbianwalrus

Honestly. Some people. Tsk tsk
