The people that think they have enough musical taste, knowledge, ear, and authority to write lists like these (these kind of lists just shouldn't exist because they're all a matter of opinion) are the same kind of people who write things like
The 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time(Rolling Stone).
Kurt Cobain is number 12? Not that I dislike the guy, but there's just hundreds of better guitarists.
I try my best to ignore these lists, because they're useless and based on nothing (except maybe for the artists' popularity at the time of edition).
