My opinion:

22. R.E.M. (Good, yes. 22 greatest EVER? Questionable.)
21. Van Halen (See above)
20. Limp Bizkit (Please tell me that one was a joke... PLEASE)
19. Phish (...no)
18. Alice In Chains (One of thew few that could actually make the REAL 22 greatest)
17. Dave Mathews Band (Talented, sure. 22 greatest, no way in hell)
16. Korn (...not even CLOSE)
15. Aerosmith (They deserve to be DESTROYED for every song they've written since 1990)
14. Oasis (HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH... ok they're a decent band but PLEASE)
13. The Cure (I fucking love The Cure and have no objection to them being on the list... then again I may be a bit biased cause I've had sex to their music... heh)
12. Nine Inch Nails (They're good. But not top 22 ever.)
11. Smashing Pumpkins (Great band, I suppose you could make an argument for them on this list)
10. No Doubt (NO WAY IN HELL)
9. Pearl Jam (I've never liked pearl jam but I suppose they are decent enough to make the list...)
8. Green Day (hahahahahahahahahahah NO)
7. Red Hot Chili Peppers (Arguable, but possibly enough to make the list)
6. Linkin Park (NO. NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO.)
5. Radiohead (I love Radiohead but I don't know if they're THIS HIGH on the list)
4. U2 (I've never liked U2. But... maybe)
3. Guns & Roses (No. They're good, not this good)
2. Metallica (They should have their status revoked just for St. Anger)
1. Nirvana (#1? Ehhh.... Top 22... yes.)

My $0.02

Oh and by the way... some INCREDIBLE artists got COMPLETELY stiffed here... I think personally that the Smiths could take most of the bands on the list... and if this list was supposed to be about INFLUENCE, where are the Sex Pistols? Dead Kennedys? Bad Brains? Minor Threat? Anything that's even a slight derivative of 'punk' that's on the airwaves today owe their careers in large part to at least one of those bands. A lot of other underground bands influenced music like NO OTHER that aren't on the list. Sunny Day Real Estate gave birth to all of the 'emo' music that's so popular today...

Other bands that I'd (personally) put on the list:
SLAYER (best metal band ever? Probably.)
AT THE DRIVE-IN (Not the most popular band ever, but just listen to their music, it's the most innovative stuff out there, the Mars Volta are following right where they left off. Not to mention ATDI had the best stage show EVER. Trust me.)
BECK (Ok, I'm probably gonna get flamed for this one. But I think he's the best songwriter in the last 20 years, and has produced some of the best music, not to mention most influential on the 'indie' scene)
SNAPCASE (Completely biased opinion on my part, as they're one of my favorites, but I think they have the best lyrics and music of any band out there)
GLASSJAW (See Snapcase's description)
THE WHITE STRIPES (Yes, this is an unpopular opinion, with all the 'they have no talent blah blah blah' bullshit out there, but you have to realize that for one thing they have INCREDIBLE lyrics (all written by Meg, for all those that think she has no talent), and Jack is an OUTSTANDING musician, you really have to be a guitarist and see them live to understand how good he is... singing and soloing at the same time is just about the most difficult thing you can do in music. He makes it look simple)

Again, just my $0.02
