Discuss.

The top fifteen or so should be lower.
Sat Jan 19 05:34:56 2002
Cuz I just gotta wonder why some of these are ranked so highly, IMO. F'rinstance, numbers 10, 15, 17, 22, 24, , 30, 35... I'm stopping there.
Not to mention the ones I question being listed at all. But hey, I understand that's just my personal preference (and musical bias). But why the fuck is Black Sabbath #29, and Beastie Boys #10?! What is the amount/quality of drugs taken by the people compiling the list?
Sat Jan 19 05:37:36 2002
Hi, Pete.
Uhhhh... Korn? #48? What makes them so good as to even be listed? I thought they blew 6 years ago when I was on the radio, and I've not heard anything from them since that time that would make me alter my opinion.

They made it cool for white people to like "nigger" music.

While I'm at it - "David Bowie and The Spiders From Mars?" Who the fuck compiled this shit?
Sat Jan 19 19:25:14 2002

No, that's what Run-DMC was for. Or hell, even Sugarhill Gang. BB came off as a parody, or at best a party band. They might have expanded their capabilities since then, but IMO (note, IMO) I don't consider them altogether worthwhile enough to be included on this list.
DrPizza:
I think the Beach Boys should definitely be on the list.
Yeah, I have to agree with that. And I'd include AC/DC, but that's just a personal preference. ;)
PaulHill:

True, dat. I'm curious to know why they stipulated "and The Spiders From Mars" -- is his other stuff non-existant?
And considering some of those who made the list, I wondered why some others were not included. Like, for instance, Genesis -- with Peter Gabriel, of course. I'm not a big fan, but I can understand their potential influence.
<joke>What, no N*Sync?!?</joke>

Who is Husker Du and Bad Brains?
Husker Du essentially created punk rock as it is today. Bad Brains were a black band that showed that it was possible for people other than white suburban kids who were upset with their parents to make punk rock.

I was just going on the "david bowie" part.

Nah, Sugarhill Gang didn't really hit the white people as much as Beastie Boys. Before BB, a "white rapper" was an absurd notion. Run-DMC did gain respect in the white community, but it was still a genre that wasn't popularly accepted among the white community, at least not to the level that BB is/was.
I personally HATE the Beastie Boys and think they suck, but they a) opened up white people to rap and b) got white respect as rappers.
I think the Beach Boys should definitely be on the list.
Yes and no. They were incredibly awesome back then, but they still play now. Basically, it's fuckin' Mike Love and Brian Wilson, barely able to stand on stage, plus 15 other musicians. None of them can hit the notes anymore and it's just disgusting. It's like geriatric karaoke. That, IMO, killed them.

Oh, GOD yes.

I think that just proves my theory that white people in general shouldn't be involved with rap. ;)

Gee, kinda like the Rolling Stones, no? :biggrin:

I'm normally of the same opinion, if only based on Vanilla Ice and Eminem, but people like iKon, the Verbal Hologram from Jedi Mind Tricks, and LMNO of the Battleaxe Warriors are actually decent, plus all of Anticon.
I dunno.
Gee, kinda like the Rolling Stones, no?
Bill O'Reilly had one of their biographers on his shitty show and was saying "Don't you think these are evil, horrible people?" and the guy said, "No, they're rock n roll."
It was cool, cause they do heroin.
Sun Jan 20 09:37:41 2002
Rest of the Beastie boys was kinda eh.
Tue Jan 22 21:24:34 2002
1) Aerosmith
2) Led Zeppelin
3) The Beatles
I further nominate U2, Guns N Roses, The Doors, Beach Boys, Metallica, The Sex Pistols, and The Rolling Stones.
