Oh yeah, Woohoo for the Mac being at 10! If it were my list, they'd be higher, but that's because I don't like the Beatles  or Bruce or the Stones (not sure where they were on the list, though).

I agree, these are not "bands". This list is based on numbers only. How many copies of their top album sold and how big was biggest tour. It is not based on "merit", but mostly on money. Therefore, some bands on the list are "quality" because of course people will be drawn to that. And then others were just what was "in" with the kids at the time, who buy lots of records. However, there is something very wrong with a juxtaposition such as:
33.
Spice Girls
34.Def Leppard
35.Deep Purple
36.UB40
37.Aerosmith
38.Wham!
39.Pearl Jam
40.Hootie & the Blowfish
An Aerosmith/Wham/Pearl Jam sandwich? What the??? Spice Girls next to Def Leppard, and ahead, has the world gone mad?
