MTV2's 22 Greatest Bands...
So the show was hosted by Rikki Rachman and it was a list of the 22 greatest bands of the past 2 decades I believe as chosen by "the fans" well lets just say most of the time "the fans" suck ass. Granted that the list wasn't as bad as some other "Greatest" lists I've seen in the past but still has a few that really don't deserve to be in there, shoulda been higher, and some who were just plain left out and forgotten about all together. They did get some pretty cool bands on there that aren't normally on these kinds of lists so thats kinda cool. Well here it is starting from the bottom up.
22. R.E.M.
21. Van Halen
20. Limp Bizkit
19. Phish
18. Alice In Chains
17. Dave Mathews Band
16. Korn
15. Aerosmith
14. Oasis
13. The Cure
12. Nine Inch Nails
11. Smashing Pumpkins
10. No Doubt
9. Pearl Jam
8. Green Day
7. Red Hot Chili Peppers
6. Linkin Park
5. Radiohead
4. U2
3. Guns & Roses
2. Metallica
1. Nirvana
Well lotta great bands on there but fuckin No Doubt?! I'm sorry I just don't think they are as good as some of the many bands who didn't make the list at all. Heres just a few ya didn't see
Rage Against The Machine
Tool/A Perfect Circle
Silverchair
Bush
Goo Goo Dolls
Train
Living Colour
The Flaming Lips
The Cranberries
Staind
Counting Fuckin Crows one of my faves ever
Creed (I like em)
System Of A Down
Shit the list goes on with loads of bands they didn't give any mention to that are better than some of the ones that made the list. For instance you got Korn on there already so you don't need fuckin Limp Bizkit there they're pretty much just Korn with bad rap. I dunno if I personally woulda put Linkin Park on my list ahead of some of those others mentioned/not mentioned though I do think they're a pretty damn good band I mighta had them on but definitely not borderline top 5. Well asside from all that the good thing is there aren't too many not so good bands on there. Only a few tops the rest are all either great or pretty/pretty damn good. So what are your thoughts on this list?
Asta!!
