The Stones pwn this competition. LZ and Nirvana are overrated.

this is inaccurate in so many respects that i won't begin to go through them. stop.

RHCP = Red Hot Chili Peppers

I think they are under represented because no one knows wtf RHCP means.

For the 60's, JHE= Jimi Hendrix Experience.

The 60's and 70's seem to be shaping up pretty closely to how they should be, although it's interesting to see Hendrix beating the Stones right now. The 70's are almost spot on.

The 80's are getting dominated by GNR, which is to be expected I guess, but Metallica shouldn't be so far behind. I'll never understand why U2 is so popular, I find it hard to listen to any of their music. I think all of U2's votes should be reallocated to the Clash and the Cure. Which reminds me, where are the Ramones?

As for the 90's... Nirvana is overrated if you guys think they should be killing every other band by so wide a margin. It should be Radiohead and the Smashing Pumpkins up top, followed by Nirvana, RATM, and Green Day in any particular order, with Tool being the wild card that can get any ranking depending on how many people here have seriously listened to them. The lack of love for RHCP is disturbing, since they should easily be in the top 7 or 8. Eminem getting more votes than Tupac/Biggie is hilariously stupid. The support for Weezer and Sublime is awesome because they rule, but they can't really hang with the other bands on this list.

With the exception of Nirvana's placing, the tourney seems to be going as should be expected. LZ vs. Beatles vs. GNR is where it really gets interesting though. Zeppelin in a walk I say.

Glad to see you know what our opinions should be!

But seriously, Nirvana is way way way more influential than any of the other bands, and has still a huge following. I happen to like them a lot more than any of the other bands listed.

If more Canadians were polled the Hip would likely win this whole damn poll - hands down.

I actually haven't listened to Nirvana in a long time. They were a big band in the early 90s and basically kicked off grunge music and inspired a bunch of bands to come. Even if you don't like them, you probably like at least one band whose music was inspired by Nirvana. Offspring is one band who was encouraged by Nirvana (especially in the album "Ignition"). I am not currently a big Nirvana fan, but I respect them because they instigated a lot of the music I like today. That is why I think they should be considered a top band of the nineties.

I can't be bothered reading this whole thread, but I thought I should let you know that you have absolutely zero musical credibility now (not that you did before). Learn to read, and then when you were to young to participate in a music scene yourself you won't make horribly embarassing mistakes.

Jesus, not one person nominated Soundgarden?
