Spin has just officially commited a crime

Alright... So for some reason I keep getting Spin magazine, even though to the best of my knowledge I'm not subscribed to it. Now, I've never been a big fan of it... But this just sucks. They published a list of the 50 greatest rock frontmen of all time. Guess what?

-No Jon Davis
-No Serj Tankian
-Courtney Love is above Kurt Cobain 😑
even though one of the criteria is sex appeal 😘
-Gwen Stefani is on the list
-They spelled Zack de la Rocha's name wrong ("Zach"😉
-The guy from the Darkness made the list 😕
-And worst of all... *dramatic music playing* No Keenan!!!!!!!

So... the complete list is as follows:

Prince
Mick Jagger
Robert Plant
James Brown
Jimi Hendrix
Elvis Presley
Axl Rose
David Lee Roth
David Bowie
Bono
Freddie Mercury
Iggy Pop
Little Richard
Perry Farrell
Johnny Rotten
Joey Ramone
Morrissey
Courtney Love
Jim Morrison
Karen O
Ozzy Osbourne
Kurt Cobain
Steven Tyler
Henry Rollins
"Zach" (Zack) de la Rocha
Joe Strummer
Bryan Ferry
Bruce Springsteen
Paul "HR" Hudson
Jello Biafra
Sly Stone
Trent Reznor
Joan Jett
Howlin' Pelle Almqvist
Justin Hawkins
Marilyn Manson
Elvis Costello
Deborah Harry
Chuck D
Chris Cornell
Patti Smith
Lux Interior
Roger Daltrey
Chrissie Hynde
Robert Pollard
Gwen Stefani
Gibby Haynes
Jack White
Liam gallagher
Glenn Danzig

magazines are just as bad as the bull shit on tv and radio. courtney love above kurt cobain...thats not right...😕

✅ ^agree

saying courtney love is better than kurt cobain..

is like saying

50 cent is a better rapper than my 4 year old cousin...

😆

Courtney Love above Cobain!?!?!?!?!

This is it guys. It's the Apocalypse. Hold me.blowup

fear noOOOoooooOOOo!!!

😆

Why wouldn't Justin Hawkins make the list? He is a great frontman even if you don't like the music.

It's a bit wayward though, but then, no one's fifty is the same as anyone else's.

i hate music magazines they think their opinion is fact. did see that horse pile of a show that blender magazine put vh1? they talk bad about people yet they have a shit magazine that most people have never heard of.

Personally I think Axl and David Lee Roth are overrated... But that's just me.

we all have are thoughts. i think people would like axl better if he could have kept the original band together. dave doesnt have the best voice but the man is incredible on stage.

Very true.

IMO it wasn't Axl's fault that the band split... I mean, Slash nearly died at least once... He NEEDED to get out of the band, and I for one am glad he did... Not because I'm glad GNR are no more, because I like GNR, but because I would have hated to see him go. Axl isn't by any means bad, I just think people give him too much credit.

i think slash is underated as a guitarist

I agree

how the hell did the dude from the darkness get on the list?
Courtney Love
Gwen Stefani
Jack White
Howlin' Pelle Almqvist these people should not be on here at all

Because Spin is an evil publication... They love the White Stripes for some reason. IMO some of them were just in the list to sell magazines 😬

Karen O is above Ozzy

what the fuk are they smoking?
