Those are good bands on the list, but it is a very short list and is missing some huge bands - Fleetwood Mac and Aerosmith come immediately to mind. Also, although I love the Replacements, they don't belong on the list. As great as they were, they were not really fully mainstream to where a lot of people know who they are.

My vote: The Clash

I have little doubt The Other category will fill up handsomely.

I would put Nirvana in the most overrated band category.

Why no Beatles? Didn't they sorta pave the way for all that followed?
Imo..the Beatles are one of the few bands that never made a bad album.

For my money you'd have to put Tool ahead of them, but the first album from A Perfect Circle is outstanding.

I disagree on this but it's a difference without a distinction.

Keenan is better with Howerdel IMO.

Both are fantastic writers though.
