I thought the first list was bad back in 98, but this is far, far worse, lol.

[andgar923]

Radiohead,Neil Young, Aretha Franklin and Pink Floyd are ranked too low.

Where is Nina Simone?..... she's a top 20 without a doubt.

U2 is ranked too high, Led Zeppelin is ranked WAY too high (as much as I used to love them). Where's 'Deep Purple'? No 'Wu-Tang Clan'?

Justin Timberlake above Otis? MADNESS!!!

Beyonce, Alicia Keyes, George Michael, The Doors, Mariah Carey, Timberlake, Eminem, and Green Day are the only people on this list who would not sniff a list conjured up by The Dash Mane. The order is off, but for what it is it is not THAT terrible.

Off the top of my head I would insert Dr. Dre, The Badbrains, The Pixies, X, The Wu Tang Clan, Eric B. & Rakim, Louis Armstrong, Daft Punk, Stevie Wonder, Miles Davis...The list is really lacking in the Jazz department.

Old world classical music also got the shaft.

[MasterDurant24]

Where's the Temptations? Smokey Robinson? Usher? Jay-Z and Alica Keys over these guys? Jay-Z over Notorius? What the hell?

[MasterDurant24]

And Stevie Wonder isn't here. Ultimate .

Wu should be here, and Stevie is there. Also, no Frank Zappa or Janet Jackson! How u have Beyonce but no Janet?

Stevie is number 10.

Justin Timberlake above Otis? MADNESS!!!

Lamar Doom is definitely pissed off now.

These lists are all subjective, all they do is put the beatles at number one, and bullshit the rest.

I think that each ISH poster should make their own personal top 100 lists. That would be much cooler imo.

LMAO @ Nirvana. What the hell did they do to reach that high on the list?

[L.Kizzle]

Where's the Temptations? Smokey Robinson? Usher? Jay-Z and Alica Keys over these guys? Jay-Z over Notorius? What the hell?

That's good, no Usher ... but yeah the Tempts and Smokey and Jackson 5 are missing also.

[pete's montreux]

There are some really odd selections and some obvious snuffs that just makes you think. . . what was going through their head when they made this? How does Peter Gabriel make it but not a band like Daft Punk? No one can justify that.

[PowerGlove]

Why shouldn't usher be on the list?

I'm glad that Mary J. got some recognition though.

Why should he ... and I have no problem with Mary J, but where the hell is CHaka Khan at if you have MJB?

[BRabbiT]

Why shouldn't usher be on the list?

I'm glad that Mary J. got some recognition though.

waaay too low. 80?

[PowerGlove]

waaay too low. 80?

She's incredibly talented, I have three of her albums(MJB,What's the 411 and Growing Pains) but this list is garbage so I'm just happy they had her on there because she doesn't get the credit she deserves. At this point, I dont even care about position, that is irrelevant to me. When you have Nirvana at 14 or wherever the hell they have them, I stopped caring about where they ranked these artists.
