I am offended that Slayer is Only at number 50. The only Bands that i could understand being above them are Black Sabbath and Iron Maiden.

And how the Hell is Korn on that List but no Slipknot? And How the hell is Korn above Anthrax, Megadeth, Tool, Danzig and The Blue Oyster Cult?

Good Bands on the List but Way out of place.

dont think ZZ Top are worth their ranking

there are a lot of bands on that list that I wouldn't even consider to be "hard rock"

cause we all know that VH1 is all about hard rock

nice to see Sonic Youth on there...even though they are alternative...you might even consider them punk

but not hard rock.

and why is Pink Floyd on that list??

c'mon, VH1. this list is awesomely bad at best.

whats this list judged on?

Nirvana's too high, Queen to low.

Vh1 do too many of these list.Most of them suck and are questionably decided by Maxium Magazine and a few executives at Vh1.They claim this list was decided on by the rockers themselfs but I highly doubt this.Pearl Jam gets placed at 21 yet Slipknot,Fear Factory,Type O Negative and too many others to name are left out.I think something very funny is going on or Vh1 just has some bad judgement.

Or that Jethro Tull is above megadeth and Danzig

Ooo, I love rawkin' out to Bon Jovi!

True, after Kurts Death they got way overrated

I was watching "Nirvana: Unplugged in NY" bootleg DVD I bought this afternoon and I was saying to myself that it's a shame that a band as talented as they got dragged through the mud over a stupid murder, thus kids latching onto them.

Cobain was a great vocalist, especially in acoustic sets. If you wanna disagree, take a listen to "Where Did You Sleep Last Night" on the Unplugged album, or either of the tracks with the Meat Puppets.

As a whole, they were held in such high regard for ushering in a movement, and not so much the quality of their music. Cashed in a dress code, and added some attitude. WTF. They were still a good band, but no means out of this world, and more 50 - 60 material.

queen should be in the top 10
and i dont know why foo fighters and lenny kravitz got into that list

and where the hell is dream theater?

There are so many bands that shouldn't even be on there.

And Tool and Faith No More both should be waaaaaaaaaaaaay higher.

Slayer Should be Number 1 or 2, easily.

What exactly do they consider Hard Rock? ...very strange....

Don't get me wrong, I like Nirvana quite a bit, I just think there are people who blow their greatness way out of proportion.
