This is a flame list some bait shop in Mumbai put together, congratulations to everyone ITT on being retarded boomers
You really think Rolling Stone would put out a list like this with almost 100% cis white males on it?
*slaps you on the head like old Italian grandma*

how did Franz Ferdinand sneak in at the end?
it is Rolling Stone so of course it has to be a lot of boomer slop, and include Sly Stone for diversity... but there is no argument for FF.

fairly accurate. Cream should be in top 10.
it gets boring talking about The Beatles and The Rolling Stones et al. but that doesn't detract from the reality that they are inarguably the best bands.

I don't really believe in the concept of "per se" greatness though in band rankings. Any “greatest” list is already mixing quality, popularity, influence, historical importance, critical reputation, and scene representation. I agree that some picks can feel tokenistic or arbitrary, but I don’t think “most rock fans don’t consider them great” settles it. Also I think when Rolling Stone does something like this, they are basically trying to make a "canon-shaping" list. It isn't just meant to report the list, but also to construct or revise perceptions post-hoc

my notes:
u2 at 3 way too high
GNR is a top ten by any estimate.
radiohead at 7 is silly
way too many gay bands ranked way too high (police, rem, smiths)
metalica at 25? thats just dumb.
public enemy? come on man

admit
deny
admit. radiohead is one of my all time favs but too niche to be this high.
deny. smiths are amazing. police are gay but super popular. rem is great but prob not in the top 50.
admit.
admit. if this list is to include hip hop then half the list should be hip hop. putting one token band in there is SPS.

lol @ 'Public Enemy'
in the 80s and 90s, 'Public Enemy' was the token 'rap group' that white music writers would always reference to round out these lists (having never even listened to them).
they were hardly relevant then, let alone now. no one under 50 has even heard of Public Enemy.

needs more 80s/90s indie: Galaxie 500
needs a 90s 'electronica' entry: Portishead
needs a shoegaze band: Ride

just noticed that The White Stripes are not included.
somewhat surprising omission. 50% of their notoriety was entirely music press/critical hype.
