Another nauseatingly predictable list from Rolling Stone, but, should anyone be surprised?

1. Their hip-hop/rap choices are hillarious, almost random.

2. Nevermind at #17? Didn't Nirvana get an undeserved nod in that 100 top guitarists list, too?

3. The Wall absolutely deserves a top fifty placing, if not top twenty.

4. Indie Rock? Even if you're not a fan of the genre, their damn sure should be some great bands on the list.

5. Led Zeppelin's IV was really low, this makes no sense to me at all.

Now, I understand I'm hard to please, hell, anyone is with a list of 500 bands/albums, but this is just terrible. They could've done a much better job.

I would hope that, if the entire staff were to have reviewed their list and provided their input on its oversights, there would have been fewer oversights. Its clear this was not the case and it was the doings of a "select few." (for lack of a better term)
