I think I'd leave out Kraftwerk, Dr. Dre & Eddie Van Halen for maybe Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, The Rolling Stones or Rage Agaisnt The Machine but the bulk of the list was decent enough.
Maybe The Who I don't think I'd put them in my top 10 though... I've personally never been a huge fan of Prince but I guess he has been pretty influential.
I really like RATM, I'm not sure if they're been a huge influence yet but I really believe they'll become one.

Prince has been more than "pretty" influential. As ridiculous as a claim this may seem; he's still vastly underrated.
You'd be surprised how many people just see him as a Michael Jackson-esque singer.
Rage Against the Machine should definitely be there.
No Minor Threat, no Faith No More, no Fugazi, no Bad Brains?
I knew who would be voted number one before I even checked, people just assume they have to say The Beatles.
"Ask your great grandchild who the current pop rock band is and add them to the list.". Why? That's what I mean about over-estimating influence. As if it's a fact anybody who came after were influenced.
Also proving that hardcore fans are usually bitter old crones who can't accept new shit.

...is quite possibly the most intelligent thing you ever said in this forum w/o or w/ personal bias, which often tends to get you into ridiculous debates/arguments, preference withstanding.
I think Rage will be a future shoe-in for the list, I don't think the full-force of their influence has been felt just yet, same with Thom Yorke, and maybe Trent Reznor. And if hip-hop artists are allowed in the list, where the hell is Flash or Bambaata? I mean, Dr. Dre, come on now. At least say RZA or even Pete Rock if you're going to go more recent.
Those should definitely be in there, for better or worse. Pixies also. Whether people like them or not, I think their influence on the direction of grunge, indie and the whole alternative rock scene of the last couple of decades is criminally underrated.

Meh... good list for the most part. You can't please everyone. Dr. Dre was a pretty dumb choice, definately could have been replaced by somebody influentional like Zepplin or Sabbath. Not sure if i'd put the Sex Pistols on that either. Seriously, can not believe Sabbath did'nt make the list.
