If they wanted to go that 2000s british indie route, it seems like Arctic Monkeys would have made more sense. Pretty sure they've had way more sustained success.

fairly accurate. Cream should be in top 10.

it gets boring talking about The Beatles and The Rolling Stones et al. but that doesn't detract from the reality that they are inarguably the best bands.

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.

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.

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.

I don't really believe in the concept of "per se" greatness though in band rankings. Any “greatest” list is already mixing quality, popularity, influence, historical importance, critical reputation, and scene representation. I agree that some picks can feel tokenistic or arbitrary, but I don’t think “most rock fans don’t consider them great” settles it. Also I think when Rolling Stone does something like this, they are basically trying to make a "canon-shaping" list. It isn't just meant to report the list, but also to construct or revise perceptions post-hoc

GNR is a top ten by any estimate.

radiohead at 7 is silly

way too many gay bands ranked way too high (police, rem, smiths)

metalica at 25? thats just dumb.

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.

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.

Yeah fair point. I mean I was just doing a cursory glance and looking for the real out of place stuff. The overall shape of the list isn't horrible. Many to most of the bands on there probably belong there. Some of the ordering is weird. I think on second thought I agree Oasis probably doesn't belong there. I like them but only a few songs. There are a bunch on here I don't really like at all too but they probably belong due to influence/popularity. It's impossible to make a perfect list. If you aren't just doing your personal list you have to pretend that it's Balanced and culturally appropriate. I don't want to put Metallica on a list of best bands, but they influenced an entire genre of music and had tremendous far-reaching influence.

I don't think it's a horrible list, and Oasis is a personal all-time favorite band. But Rolling Stone never really gave them any respect, and having them here just seems like a bandwagon reaction to how much people loved the reunion shows last year.
