    So i was watching this show the other day on VH1 and they were doing a countdown of the 100 greatest artists of all time. What a joke! They left out some excellent talent and had names way higher on the list than there should have been. I found the list so here it is. NOTE...this is not my list, it was composed by VH1.

    100 Alicia Keys
    99 Hall & Oates
    98 Depeche Mode
    97 Pretenders
    96 Journey
    95 OutKast
    94 Mariah Carey
    93 Pearl Jam
    92 LL Cool J
    91 Green Day
    90 Elvis Costello
    89 Beastie Boys
    88 Bee Gees
    87 George Michael

    46 Ramones
    45 Al Green
    44 Joni Mitchell
    43 Ray Charles
    42 Metallica

    37 Fleetwood Mac
    36 Paul McCartney
    35 Johnny Cash
    34 Tina Turner
    33 Guns N’ Roses
    32 Black Sabbath
    31 John Lennon
    30 Aerosmith
    29 Radiohead
    28 Elton John
    27 Aretha Franklin
    26 Neil Young
    25 Chuck Berry
    24 The Velvet Underground
    23 AC/DC
    22 The Clash
    21 Bruce Springsteen
    20 Marvin Gaye
    19 U2
    18 Pink Floyd
    17 Queen
    16 Madonna
    15 The Beach Boys
    14 Nirvana
    13 The Who
    12 David Bowie
    11 Bob Marley
    10 Stevie Wonder
    09 James Brown
    08 Elvis Presley

    06 Jimi Hendrix
    05 Bob Dylan
    04 Rolling Stones
    03 Led Zeppelin
    02 Michael Jackson
    01 The Beatles

    Now Journey at #96? With Justin Timberlake and Public Enemy way higher. Don't get me wrong they are very good and have sold millions of records but really? And where's Hank Williams Jr., Foreigner, Garth Brooks, ZZ Top, and Bon Jovi just to name a few who failed to make the list. But i do think the top 10 is pretty right on. Anyways, thought the list could use some better artists. What do you think?

    Tell me about it....Coldplay and Joni Mithell better than Skynard! Joni who? The list is on VH1's site. I just googled it and it took me there. I hope other artists didn't make this list.

    You all need to check out some Soilwork, Sonic Syndicate, and slipknot.

    Metal is where its at.

    Literally, its right over there..

    First of all, the names on that list are pathetic...music that plays on the radio = generic garbage.

    Secondly, the Beatles suck....period.
