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!! |

Overall the list looks good aside from a few bands. I don't think Dave Matthews Band is good, but that's just my opinion.

I like Dave cause the arangement of the band is awesome and I think he's a good singer songwriter. But yeah like I said pretty good list I think most would agree with the bulk of the list minus maybe a select few they don't like.
Asta!!

Not even close 16. Korn 15. Aerosmith 14. Oasis excuse me while I vomit 13. The Cure 12. Nine Inch Nails 11. Smashing Pumpkins Once again, good artist but NOT top 22 10.

it amuses me that you even care about this mtv bullcrap. they have to pander to a certain audience, therefore leaving the bands that deserve to be on that list left out. if it was me, there'd probabaly be 3 or 4 of those bands on that top 25 list. funniest of all i think is that they put green day up there and not operation ivy. eh :P

MTV is Not Relevant
To quote from Pete Townshend's Jools and Jim:
Anyone can have an opinion Anyone can join in and jump Anyone can pay or just stay away Anyone can crash and thump Some bands are popular because they are innovative & creative, some are highly technically skilled, some are great showmen, some are excellent lyrically. Bottom line is, we like what sounds good to us. Arguing in generalities (they suck, etc.) about which band is better than the next is pointless. You're not going to get a person who either loves/hates a band to change his/her mind. |

God, lists like that make me barf.
But maybe that's the tequila talkin'. 22 greatest bands. Not your favorites. Not the most popular. The greatest. So, how do we quantify "great"? Not by putting names like Alice in Chains, Pearl Jam and, lordy lord, Living Colour on the list, fer sure. Ugh. Don't get me wrong; my taste in music runs in that general direction, but please, stop making me barf. Some perspective is needed. 22 greatest bands. Ever, I presume. Now in the word(s?) of K-Wise: Asta!! |

I think this quote from Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back fits MTV's list pretty well:

my fucking big gripe is that a list of the 22 greatest bands of the past two decades should include bands that have been around for at least half that time....Linkin Park, Limp Bizkit. how long have they been around, 5 years or so.
And, no Rage, Tool, Deftones...that makes no sense. Linkin Park, Limp Bizkit, Korn, No Doubt, Oasis, and Green Day should not have made it. its ridiculous. IMO these bands just road the wave of the fads of the time to rise to stardom. |

I think Oasis are pretty great musically but 1 imparticular is a jackass snob who thinks he's the shit. It was funny when they listed em though cause they showed like 6 guys even Ian Robinson compare them to The Beatles...they just flashed em one by one "Beatles...beatles...Beatles...Beatles..." then it gets to Jim Bruer and it pauses for a sec. "The Beatles? Oasis ain't the fuckin Beatles nobody is the beatles but The Beatles" or something like that. I damn near fell out of my chair.

Stupid ass MTV and their stupid ass list, no way the 'fans' put some of these bands on there oh no, these bands paid off MTV for recognition because they know thats the only recognition they'll ever get as far as being one of the 'greatest' bands ever.

Whoa now...do not talk bad about the Aerosmith. Their most recent stuff might not be amazing but that band is one a the best I've ever heard. Dream On, Janies Got A Gun, Crazy, Cryin, Don't Wanna Miss A Thing, Fly Away From Here, Livin On The Edge, Walk This Way, Dude Looks Like A Lady, Amazing, etc. all great songs, fun songs. Great band Joe Perry is an awesome guitarist and Steven Tyler has madd pipes. Even more amazing is the fact that he can still sing just as good today as he could 30 years ago which is crazy. I think to myself "Theres no way he can still hit those notes on Dream On at his age" and then he does it almost even better than he did the first time. Crazy shit.
Asta!!

Oasis--GOTTA LAUGH AT THIS ONE 13. The Cure 12. Nine Inch Nails 11. Smashing Pumpkins 10. No Doubt--GOOD BAND...TOP ANYTHING, I THINK NOT 9. Pearl Jam 8. Green Day 7. Red Hot Chili Peppers 6. Linkin Park--AAAAARRRGGGHHH 5. Radiohead--OVERRATED! 4. U2--GREAT FIRST COUPLE OF ALBUMS... 3. Guns & Roses 2. Metallica_I'D FLIP-FLOP METALLICA AND NIRVANA 1. Nirvana

I don't get nirvana. To me, they had a couple of songs. Foo Fighters is better then Nirvana. Hole is better then Nirvana. He was an anchor tied to the neck of radio, and I am sick of his same old whiny songs playing on the radio so many years later. He sucked on a shotgun. That does not make his music great. It just weakens the power of his musical message. Cowards commit suicide. Couragous people strive to make things better. Fuck Him.

The worst part about it is it was picked by "The Fans" I know I didn't fuckin pick Limp Biscuit and No Doubt. Other than those 2 which really fuckin suck I think Greenday and Linkin Park are 2 good bands...possibly really good but not fuckin top 20 of the last 2 decades of music. Other than those I think all the other bands on the list are great though(Oasis are still kinda iffy with me though) I would have changed the order around a shit load. This just proves these fans are strictly T.V. fans and fad fans. Cause only MTV would forget how fuckin great Tom Petty, The Counting Crows, Train, The Rolling Stones, Tool, Silverchair, etc. are and stop playing their fuckin videos. Linkin Park are on MTV all the time so of course they were voted onto the list. Eh stupid fuckin choices I'd like to know who these "Fans" are so I can shove records down their fuckin throats.

Yeah I saw the VH1 list. And it wasn't the hundred greatest bands of all time it was the Hundred greatest "hard rock" bands of all time. If it was just greatest bands period ya know they prolly woulda voted the fuckin beatles #1 instead a Zep. That one was a good list but it was also an all time list not the last 2 decades. And I believe Black Sabath was #2 to Zepplin and Cream was #4 I'm not sure. It sounds right. I tend to like VH1's lists more than I like MTV's except for VH1's stupid asses voting Eminem's "Lose Yourself" the #4 fuckin greatest song OF ALL TIME! I think thats a crock a shit. That isn't even the best rap song of the past 10 years let alone of all time. That really pissed me off. I hate how he gets all the credit it absolutely sickens me.
Asta!!
