I dont get it???

That list has not got 2pac Shukur.... lolz

nah its ok, except i think more bands shouldve been put into it...

[djmassk]

i cant believe van gough and michaelangelo arent on there!

oh and pac aint even one of the top 50 rappers of the 90s in my opinion

and none of those people are better than talib kweli or pharoahe monch!!!!

[Ceriopal]

I agree with Nabbe, music is subjective and a list like that is about a spointless as you get. I'd take the rolling stones over led zepplin any day of the week, but I can definately see why others would not. Its all about your particular tastes in music. Some people might not even know who roy oberson and chuck berry were. me I'd say they'd be on any top 50 list. No mention of anyone non rock either(rolling stones may be slightly slanted their)

[Almolfuncomma]

Its a totally bullshit list. It says the top 50 ARTISTS of all time. Since it doesn't specify just rock & roll or any specific music type and then goes on to not include people like Frank SInatra,Bing Crosby,Barbra Streisand etc its pretty hard to take it seriously. granted most people on these boards will say all 3 of them don't belong on the list, but anyone who knows anything about music and is seriously discussing "top artists" of ALL TIME I think would be a tad surprised to not see them there. How in hell does any list expect to be taken seriously when it rated Madonna higher than John Lennon or David Bowie? Where is CCR or Bob Seger? Very weak listing in my humble view.No wonder I don't subscribe to Rollin stone magazine.

[gydrorway]

bri... WTF you on about man... its of all time! You Eminem wanna-be....

2Pac did change music, it doesnt matter if NOW he is shit... so what....

Anyways, the list stinks and Rolling Stone Mag sucks... im gone LaTaHz

[YTmWSOA5]

that list is horrible. The only thing it got right was the number one pick. I don't care much for the Beatles but I understand how much they've changed music. As for the rest of the picks, meh. The Stones over Led Zeppelin? That's laughable.

Peace.

[shodulsilfeli]

what about ac/dc? they're my favorite band and if you get their live album on the 91-92 tour it's fuckin awesome!!! also i'm not an elton fan at all but isn't it surprising that he's 49?

[Zwnkkvle]

i know its of all time but pac aint even one of the top 50 RAPPERS of the 90S so hows he gonna be one of the top 50 artists of all time?

and what exactly makes me an eminem
wannabe? because im white? newsflash your white too, YOU EMINEM WANNABE!!!

lets all thank tupac for his change, now we hear a bunch of other crap rappers rapping about their guns and how thug they are

All Praise Tupac!

[ovenco]

that list stinks more than me! lots left out TO MUCH left out, you just can't swing or jive to some of these bands!

And who the hell are the byrds!!!?? They should go back to school and learn to spell!

[Misebeita]

Well, if a top fifty list has over fifty artists/bands, then it wouldn't be a top fifty, would it?

Rolling Stone can fuck themselves. Music is completely subjective, and lists like that is just bloody pointless.

[Saad Khan]

That list has not got 2pac Shukur.... lolz I agree, 2pac should be on the list definitley.

[Illisezek]

Well, that just kills the list's credibility right there. Guns n' Roses had a major impact on the 'bad boy' rock image back in '87 when they released Appetite for Destruction. And no Metallica? Heh, Metallica was the #1 metal band in the 80s, so that's absolute crap. Nirvana and U2 over those two bands is laughable. Way to go RS!

[_tppga_]

I agree with Shocker and the member formally known as Big Show - GnR and Metallica should both be on there.

[Affiltavajefe]

I hope "The Band" isn't referring to that lame little group on MTV's puffy thing. Specially considering I didn't see "the band that saved music in the mid '90s" as said by Rolling Stone about Nine Inch Nails

Rolling Stone can't be real rock fans if they don't even put Creedance Clearwater Revival anywhere in that list, it's unexcusable o_O.

Peace.
