8. Nirvana
9. Bon Jovi
10. Jimi Hendrix

Pink Floyd has provided me with hours of easy listening on long road trips, flight delays & just kept me company when there was no one around (very sad, indeed). Come to think of it, I’ve never really had any friends who liked Pink Floyd, so I was introduced to them much later than I would’ve liked. I discovered their tunes for myself on the radio when I was trekking from San Jose to San Diego, CA. My first song? The endless Shine On You Crazy Diamond. It’s a work of genius, I tell you.

Apart from Floyd topping the list, I’m very happy to see that Nirvana rolled in @ 8th! I really think we are another Nirvanaesque band away from escaping music’s current state of hopelessness.

Stoner band? NO way dude, they oozed talent.. from writing to playing.. even today in thier 60's they can still play like 30 years ago.

holla:

Nirvana? Guess you were born in the 80's eh? Missed all the GOOD music. If anything Nirvana owes Neil Young.. the godfather of Grunge... that is one talented dude.

I am disappointed that they chose Bon Jovi over The Beatles, lets face it 40+ yrs later most of you (even those born a mere 20 years ago) can get into the music.

All my favs listed here, nice............. I remember countless high school days of jamming to Pink Floyd, Zeppelin, The Who, The Stones, the Guess Who, The Eagles, and Simon and Garfunkel, while whichever loser stoner I was dating at the time got high and played video games (funny, I didn't smoke pot). Anyway, K-Fed puts Vanilla Ice's sorry ass to shame, and Paris Hilton will bring the whole crappy newage music industry to a crashing, burning, fiery death. And then, who knows, maybe we will hear some good, talented music once again......... one can only hope.

Don't forget about Kevin Federline's album.

I think the release of Paris Hilton album is positive news for the industry---once it's released, we'll know for a fact that modern music has reached it's lowest point & can't possibly go any lower (knock on wood)
