The latest Spin magazine breaks out the 50 greatest bands. IIRC there are many music-types on this forum.
Here are a few of their picks:
1. Beatles (of course)
2. Ramones (say what?)
3. Led Zeppelin (not as good as the Ramones?)
6. Parliament/Funkadelic (Who?)
8. Public Enemy
9. Rolling Stones (well, they're no Public Enemy)
10. Beastie Boys (excuse me while I puke)
13. U2 (they can only hope to be as good as the Beastie Boys)
17. Sonic Youth
18. AC/DC (behind Sonic Youth???)
27. Grateful Dead (behind The Stooges, The Smiths, N.W.A. and Kraftwerk????)
32. Kiss (Man I loved them when I was young)
39. The Who (Only one spot behind Bad Brains)
43. Guns N' Roses (one behind Husker Du)
45. The Beach Boys (one behind Outkast)
47. Lynyrd Skynyrd (one behind Massive Attack)
49. Pink Floyd (one behind Korn)
Now I admit I've never been hip to current music, but these are absurd.
I'm curious to hear from those who are more into music than I am.
