I remember going to the school library and checking out the latest rolling stone. I would immediately flip it to the back to see what the "college chart" was, make a photo copy and then head to record store and buy tapes.

Perhaps it's because Nash & Young aren't American?

Are all just as good if not better than absolutely any British band you can throw at them in my opinion. That includes The Beatles and Zeppelin btw....

The Beatles > all other bands, bro

I don't know what is more disturbing....the fact Aerosmith was left off, or the fact no one mentioned it until page 5.

And since no more than eleven or twelve people worldwide have actually listened to the Beatles in the past 30 or so years, this statement is nigh irrefutable.

Nicely played, Marciano. Nicely played, indeed.

When I think of "indie rock" -- or merely "indie" as it was explained by the initial explainer -- I think of the term as it is generally used today. Which is a massive umbrella term that covers any band that you might hear on Sirius XMU.

What a stupid fricking thing to say. The Beatles are huge with the young generations.

But they are not greater than any other band. Sorry.

...or the fact than Nirvana and REM were even included on this list. Nirvana was awful, and REM just became full of themselves (and this coming from an REM fan from the days they played in dives like The Bayou on Chimes Street).

How can you metion the Stooges w/o mentioning the New York Dolls?

Motley Crue should be on the list easily. Going to see them again and KISS in Las Vegas in August!

I don't think The Band counts since only Levon was American. If The Band did count they would be #1 on my list easily.
