Nah not so terribly into their earlier stuff. Massive Attack maybe should have been on there though.

Definitely add or replace two of mine with Sigur Ros and Muse. Can't believe I forgot them.

Definitely better be Blink 182 and Green Day you replace them for.

lol, well you see, Blink 182 and (to a lesser extent) Green Day both have nostalgic value for me. Blink 182 is basically the band that got me into music. And I remember my older brothers listening to Green Day when I was a little kid. Sigur Ros and Muse are definitely better bands, though.

Why would you go by fame? That doesn't indicate "Best" in anything besides sales and stuff.

And Blue aren't even from the 90's. I think.
