Can I spank you instead?
Well the list I like is that of USA Juventini, but with Coldplay and Oasis instead of Tool and The Pretenders. But I'm not just going to choose the list myself as everyone should agree on it.
On voting? I don't know, I guess we cannot set up polls unless we're mods right? In that case i`ll just randomly pair the bands together and you'd have to pm me. That means I'll need to start clearing up the private message folder.
Excuse me while I climb up on my soapbox.............
Hold On..........I'm not as young as I used to be................
OWWW!!!!!!!!! OK...............................
Here's why I think that Tool and especially The Pretenders should be there instead of Coldplay and Oasis.
First Coldplay. Does two good albums make them worthy of being on this list?? It's not like The Sex Pistols, where they only made 1 album, but it shook the music world on its ear. Don't get me wrong, I like them a lot, I just don't know if they are one of the 30 best.
Oasis. To me, these guys are a 1 trick pony, and personally, anyone (Liam and Noel Gallagher) who says that they are better thean the Beatles need to be taken out to a back alley and have their teeth kicked in through their nose.
Now why the Pretenders??
Seriously, is there any woman in rock in the last 25 years who has been as inspirational as Chrissie Hynde?? You NEED to have a group in there that has a woman, and this wouldn't be some token gesture in the case of The Pretenders.
Tool, because they are my favorite band, and I won't talk to any of you anymore if they aren't on the list
In all seriousness, they are a great group.
