    Good list, I'm glad the Velvet Underground was on there.

    Oh yeah but I agree with the guy below me, U2 is overrated.

    Led Zeppelin

    Well, it's not bad... I mean, I disagree with a lot, but I wouldn't expect it to be the same. I was glad to see The Yardbirds on there, but I'd rank them as much higher. And I don't exactly see The Beatles as the best musicians, but I could sort of see the way you were ranking the bands and how much influence played into it.

    Led Zeppelin

    Hell NO!!!!!!!

    The Doors at #37

    Queen at #31

    The Doors and Queen should at least be in the top 20.

    Madonna at #21 is laughable.

    U2 at #25 is also laughable

    How the heck did Eminem beat GNR, Lynyrd Skynyrd and Tom Petty?

    Edit: Did the girl at the bottom say Free Bird was Lynyrd Skynyrd only good song? LMFAO. She doesn't know Lynyrd Skynyrd.

    Your list is decent. :)

    But why is Madonna ranked so high?

    Where's Soundgarden? The Red Hot Chili Peppers? And Alice in Chains? Rush? There are a lot of bands missing IMO.

    You've got a lot of stuff that I would have, just not in the same order.

    Battle (to the death) of the Bands- Led Zeppelin

  • 1 decade ago

    That list is ok.

    U2 is so overrated and its #25...

    Plus the rolling stones should not be #3...led or even floyd should have it.

    Led Zeppelin all the way. =)

    tom petty should be moved way down

    lynyrd skynyrd is perfect as is because their only good song is free bird and its amazing

    elvis costello needs to be moved down

    wow ccr and the eagles are top thirty material as is cream and aerosmith

    ac/dc and the byrds should be moved down a bit

    eric clapton is god and should be lower than prince... come on

    the doors= top 15

    nirvana highly overrated only as popular as they are because of kurts untimely death

    bruce and queen deserve closer to number one spot

    wow really madonna in your top 25 she was only good in the 80s i could see in the top 50 but really 25???

    jimi hendrix is also god and should be top 5

    top is ok but it would be perfect if zeppelin was 5 james brown was 7 and chuck berry 6

    its an alright list better than most

    The list isn't too bad, but I don't agree with it completely

  • 1 decade ago

    Chuck Schuldiner wasnt on there. Dave Mustaine wasnt on there. this list sucks

  • 1 decade ago

    IMO Queen seems too low.

    Madonnas too high up.. I never thought of her as really having an impact..

    Source(s): Wow. Never talk about stuff like this with people who listen to rap. My friend was almost outraged that The Beatles are first [cause she doesn't understand what they did thats 'so great' as she says] She thought Metallica made better music than them, and just said 'who even listens to the beatles anymore like people only listen to one song'. >< Then when I said Madonna was on there, she said that Britney Spears should be too cause she was so popular in the 90's.*FACEPALM*
