Date: April 23rd, 2026 5:46 PM Author: non stop prop op from israel (gunneratttt) that's just lazy. you could point out bands you think are over or underrated, but then that opens you up for criticism.
everyone is going to think this list is "bad" because bands they like are rated too low and vice versa. |
|
Date: April 23rd, 2026 5:49 PM Author: wonderful businesses (Is it not the case) I think people are just going by whether or not these bands are the greatest per se. For instance I don't like the Stones but that's not why I think it's a bad list. It's a bad list because it includes many bizarre one time wonders from random eras like they were trying to pay homage to some subculture for their approval. For instance Wilco and Franz Ferdinand aren't considered great by most rock fans even if you like that band. But to me the author or committee was basically saying we need to throw in a certain number from every era for it to be credible. So it's like they just picked something at random that could have been anything rather than a consensus pick. And then of course it's heavily weighted towards stuff boomers like which again feeds into why the Millennial bands are seemingly random.

|
Date: April 23rd, 2026 6:01 PM Author: non stop prop op from israel (gunneratttt) sure i noticed that too. but if you're going to make a greatest of ALL TIME it's BS to exclude bands from certain eras. if they only included bands from rocks heyday people would scream BS too.
i just don't think it's EGREGIOUSLY bad. which is why i was probing for specifics. it's a decent list for the purpose it was made for, which would never satisfy everyone. |

Date: April 23rd, 2026 6:02 PM Author: wonderful businesses (Is it not the case) Ok sure. But Wilco? Jfc lol (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5859790&forum_id=2Reputation#49838162) |

Date: April 23rd, 2026 6:16 PM Author: non stop prop op from israel (gunneratttt) admit
deny
admit. radiohead is one of my all time favs but too niche to be this high.
deny. smiths are amazing. police are gay but super popular. rem is great but prob not in the top 50.
admit.
admit. if this list is to include hip hop then half the list should be hip hop. putting one token band in there is SPS. |

Date: April 23rd, 2026 5:32 PM Author: kikesicle lol @ 'Public Enemy'
in the 80s and 90s, 'Public Enemy' was the token 'rap group' that white music writers would always reference to round out these lists (having never even listened to them).
they were hardly relevant then, let alone now. no one under 50 has even heard of Public Enemy. |
