    Another list, but what's interesting is that #24 isn't there.

    Who should be?

      Please love yourself.

        Whoever put that list together is really old.

        Based on that assumption, where's Deep Purple?

        I don't think Jimi Hendrix and SRV really count as bands.

        I was only joking

            SRV was awesome, but he didn't really bring much new to rock. he just did it better.

            Such lists are an exercise in banality.

              Okay, then Double Trouble/Triple Threat and the Jimi Hendrix Experience, I don't care. The point is Joe Strummer got his name because he couldn't play worth a shit.

                    It's been "20 years since Nirvana came on the scene...", umm it has been 31 years. Good editing!

                    Also, Jimi Hendrix is... "a band"? Nope.

                    Apparently you have to be male, pale, have a depressed look, and horrible hair. And ugly. But... chicks dig the guitar!

                      That happened at first for me, just try again or refresh....it eventually shows the list. Weird. Also, like GK said, there is no number 24.

                        They used to. That's why garage bands were such a thing. Music was what was popular then. Now kids, what, try to be YouTube or TikTok famous?

                        Please love yourself.

                          Off the top of my head I would add Crosby stills Nash although they had different iterations.

                          Also maybe dire straits.

                          The band.

                            Unlike the musical phenomenon that was Johnny Ramone?

                            The point isn't whether you can play or not. Not that I think The Ramones should be on the list.

                            If you're going to put a punk band on the list, ditch the Clash and Ramones, and put on the ultimate example, The Sex Pistols.

                                  I agree with Dire Straits over a number of these. The Band is at presentable #9.

                                        It's about "bands". They put on a massively great show, and have a massive string of hits, and play very tightly together. There's a reason that they are "popular" and have been for 40 years.

                                          I don't care too much for either of them, but I agree with you that they should be up there, along with the Eagles.
