The only thing I can respect about that list is... uhm... nothing? F**king Pearl Jam? WHAT? HAHAHAHAHA!!!

Bon Jovi are 1000 times better than f**king Pearl Jam... across the board. Better musically, bigger selling, better songs... just better, and they're 20? Man... I hate these lists... they all suck.

Well, at least Zepplin couldn't be on the list... thanks for that... cause I'm SICK of hearing about how "great" they are... f**k them."

For those of you that don't agree with the list, I ask you this, have you seen any of these bands live? I don't know if I agree with Pearl Jam being #1 on the list, but they are certainly deserving of a top 5 spot, based on their live performances anyway."

Peral Jam over Aerosmith, the Eagles and Journey? And Dave Matthews Band is right there with Lynyrd Skynyrd? Man, this list completely blows. If this list represents what you people from the states take pride in, you should be ashamed of yourselves."

Well, I think you get the picture. More bad comments than good, though, and I certainly agree with them. Until next time, keep on rocking (not with Nirf**ckingvana, please!).
