Ummm 100 greatest my ass, I agree with some of the choices but others made me do a WTF face. What the hell, I am shocked along with others Pink Floyd didn't make it. ****, Kanye West made it but not Pink Floyd? But then again I don't really give Time the best sense of musical judgement.

I think you mean kids wearing shirts 8 times too big for them and shorts they wear below their asses or down to their shins. Here is a hint to all those dumbasses "Shorts past your kness...pants." You can thank Stacey Keech for that one.

There are alot of bands who were good at one point, but some, eh, after a whiel they just becoem another annoying band. I remember VH1 a while ago did a list of the most annoyign songs.

Nobody is ever happy with a list like that, so why do they bother making them?

Ok this has got to be the suckiest 100 list of All Time

First off neither Elvis Presley nor Hank Williams Sr., belong in the 2000, or 1990 categories. While I do agree that both have albums that should be on the list, those albums were made in their own era BEFORE they died, thats when they were influential.

Albums I agree with:
2000's : None - influence of all time is something best done through the lenses of the past. None of these albums have been present long enough to be a major influence on future music, mainly because that music isn't here yet.
Now given that I do think The Marshall Mathers LPby Eminem and Stankonia by Outkast have the makings of an influential album. If they actually influence music has yet to be seen.


1990's
Nevermind by Nirvana, Out of Time by R.E.M, and Ropin' the Wind by Garth Brooks were very influential of Music and shaped their genres for most of the decade and into this century.
Along the vein of Garth Brooks, Shania Twain's Any Man of Mine should have also been considered as another country artist which brought Country Music into the mainstream.

1980's
Thriller by Michael Jackson
Sign O' The Times by Prince
Straight Outta Compton by N.W.A.
Like a Prayer by Madonna
Master of Puppets by Metallica
Graceland by Paul Simon
All of these influenced music into the future

1970's and Older
Here they start making sense, but still no Pink Floyd. What further pisses me off is that three VERY influential artists were left out of the 1950's and whom without Rock & Roll would not be where it is today. The BIG three missing from this list are:
Elvis Pressley in the 1950's with Jailhouse Rock

Richie Valen's Donna & Labamba one of 2 singles released in his lifetime.

Buddy Holly Buddy Holly & The Crickets which had songs such as That'll be the Day & Peggy Sue.

Why those last three were left off of the list (in the appropriate era in the case of Presley) I have no idea as all three had the most influence of Rock & Roll up and until the British Invasion started by the Beatles.

In all honesty I think this "list" was just made from the Authors personal taste. Just throw in their favorite albums, give the beatles 5 or 6 tiltes(to make it look legit) and then leave out a band you know will piss everyone who reads it off.

and then everyone complained because there was no Pink Floyd on it. And that's exactly how it should be

Another reason why I think this list is actually just some lame ass's opinion they are passing off as a list that came from them "Researching" until they came up with the best 100.

Actually I have to disagree that Evlis and Hank Williams Sr. aren't still influential. There are a lot of up and coming people within country music that are heavily influenced by Hank at least.

But yeah, that's a horrid list. The simple fact that Wayward Son isn't on it just goes to show how rotten it is.

Well Theory? said that they sure as hell shouldn't have those albums release dates as 1990s/2000s just like on future lists Big E Small's albums in 2050 should count for 1990s.

I didn't say they aren't still influential, but the albums released by the record companies for profit in the 2000s aren't the ones doing the influencing. The songs were recorded before either artist died, thus their influence is based in those decades.

I am just happy **** like 2-Pac didn't make the list.
