never said i liked Garth Brooks either, i was just thinking of several bands/groups/singers who have sold millions upon millions of records multiple times

and man how does a crap band like Hootie become so insanely popular, is that just good marketing or incredibly lucky timing?? wow, what's wrong with this country?

Nah, It's just that music is so personal. Having spent 28 years in front of teen agers, having raised one, having had to buy Thriller for her 13th birthday while fighting off the gag reflex, I can tell you that music should be included along with religion and politics as things not to bring up in an open conversation.

Kids at schools where I taught, Moeller (all boys) and Ursuline (all girls) pegged their identity to the kind of music they and their friends listened to. They had little tolerance for music that others liked. That same lack of tolerance showed up in this poll... but it was fun and it helped kill some time between now and kickoff.

And in the end Justice prevailed. You can't go too far wrong picking the Beatles.

Out of all the bands on the first list the only one that I really like is Nirvana. It's a traveshamockery the they didn't beat out Ozzy "completely nuts" Osborne in the first round. Nirvana revolutionized music more than any band in the past 20-30 years.

Ozzy has a show? I guess they could have coffin cam with Cobain. If Ozzy was really hard core he would have blown his head off from the top of the Alamo. :p

What? Revolutionized music? Nirvana got popular about 1990-ish. 20 or 30 years includes a lot of bands that did a lot more than Nirvana.

Bowie, New York Dolls and KISS- 80's hair metal, "shock rock" such as Marilyn Manson
Hendrix, Clapton, Eddie Van Halen, Randy Rhodes, Stevie Ray Vaughn- several generations of guitar players
Black Sabbath, Led Zepplin, The Who- hard rock, heavy metal in general
Public Enemy, Run-DMC, Grandmaster Flash- Rap, "nu-metal" rap/rock
Yes, Kansas, Rush, Genesis- progressive/instrumental rock, some alternative rock (Dream Theatre, Radiohead, Smashing Pumpkins)
Sex Pistols, Ramones, The Clash- punk

Besides, if Nirvana never happened, we'd still be listening to most of the alternative-metal stuff that's popular now because of Pearl Jam.

Ok 30 might go too far back, but I don't listen to any of the bands that you just listed except for Pearl Jam (I own Vs and Ten). IMHO Nirvana blows Pearl Jam out of the water. Except for a few songs I don't listen to much music outside of the past 15 years.
I only have 2 older songs on my top 25 list:
Aerosmith – Dream on
Animals – House of the Rising Sun

I think I only own a few albums that were made before 1990:
Metallica- Ride the Lightning
Metallica- Master of Pupets
G N'R-Appetite For Destruction
a couple Aerosmith albums
Meatloaf - Bat out of Hell

I might be younger than some of you who like the older stuff. I personally hate Rush's music, but I know people who love them. I'm sure I'll be pimping Nirvana and Linkin Park to my kids in 20 years or so. To each his own.
