They can go eat my pearl jam. I can't stand that vocalist. He always sounds like he's bending over pushing a big one.

no way Rammstein, Oomph, Megaherz, Metallica, 3 doors down, In Extremo, are all way better than that list

Pearl Jam #1? Um....NO. Same with GNR at #6. True, they were on top for a couple years, but where are they now? If you're talking America's greatest, shouldn't there be some serious points for longevity?

19. The Replacements
WHO?????

The fact that Pearl Jam is even considered by anyone to be the greatest American rock band testifies to the mediocrity of American bands in general. If Pearl Jam were British and they were doing a British list, Pearl Jam wouldn't be close to the top 10. British bands are so much better it's not even close.

Um, sure.....whatever you say, chief.....get right on it......or not!

So I guess that the ATOT isn't any longer a place where people can express their opinions? Or is it just that those of us that aren't post happy, and have our count up to diamond level, allowed to disagree with your holiness??

You've got your opinion, I've got mine. The beauty of this country, and this forum, is that if you don't like it, you can have your say, but don't expect me to take it lying down. Cuz to me, your post was very nearly the most useless one in this thread.

lol @ Pearl Jam.

At least he gave some love to Queensryche. Dream Theater should be in the top 5 as well.

Shouldn't a band in the top 5 be known by most who are into Rock N Roll?

I was waiting for someone to point out the obvious.

BTW, aren't Fleetwood Mac a British band which happens to have 2 Americans?

I came up with a list in my head of at least 10 bands that are greater than ANY on that list. Then I realized that all the great bands are British...

pearl jam is a great pick. so is DMB (which definitely deserves to be on that list!)

REM too.

i'd suppose nirvana's low rankings stem from kurt cobain's suicide and the bad role model he seemed to be as a result. people still are huge nirvana fans, no doubt, but nirvana isn't producing any new music for obvious reasons.
 

12. Metallica. From Patrick Dickens: "Although I don't like where heavy metal is today, Metallica essentially created an entire sub-genre of rock 'n' roll. Even if some won't give them credit for creating heavy metal, there is no doubt that they defined it and carried everybody else along on their backs."

someone find this pat dick guy and send him a history of rock'n'roll book and a black sabbath cd
