You’re overthinking it.

It's all subjective, but Queen, Van Halen, Metallica, AC/DC, Black Sabbath, The Clash, U2, Iron Maiden, Rush, Rage Against the Machine, Guns n Roses, Heart, Journey, Oasis, Tool, Aerosmith and Kiss, are all better than The Kinks and Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers?

Ok

Ok.
That’s probably why they didn’t include them.

I'm pretty sure I was being facetious

The Clash, Nirvana, and Kiss don't belong on this list.

At least they didn't include the Ramones and the Sex Pistols.

The Clash seems like a silly inclusion - at the very list way to high on the list.

No CCR is bonkers - particularly in light of The Clash. I mean, CCR should be Top 5 if not Top 3.

Byrds? Buffalo Springfield?

All subjective obviously but this seems too low

Also CCR needs to be on this list

Yeah I think Nirvana is a “what popular band should I include from the 90’s”? add.

Obviously some are, but these two have an argument for sure.

In fairness, I could say the same thing for at least a dozen plus more...

though The Clash would not be one of them...

They wouldn’t be on my personal list, but I could make an argument for Nirvana and The Clash.

KISS and The Doors shouldn’t be on any best-of lists.

Calm down, Baw.
I kid.
This board would suck if we agreed on everything.

if your criteria is cultural impact all those bands are fine, but you’d have to add the Grateful Dead. KISS is in no way a “best” rock band but they are an institution, for example

I didn't scrutinize enough but Kinks are top 10 for me. Tom Petty i like but i give them a big pass for not in top 30.

Sure they are. A mountain of classics that are the envy of many.

I'd put Weezer in there before The Clash.

Top 14 are solid but not in that order. After that it gets cloudy with many other bands worthy of 15 through 30 consideration.
