At least they made the top ten and are ranked higher then the Eagles or Aerosmith! I am actually pleasantly suprised that they are so high on the list.

Thumbs up Coolness!

Yeah, they are #1 in my book....but I'm glad PF made #1 instead of a certain other band.

I like N'Sync, BSB and Spice Girls.

Clearly I have good taste...

10. Fleetwood Mac
27. ABBA
30. Supertramp

3 of my favorite bands of all time!

A little hard to believe The Backstreet Boys (I had the biggest crush on Nick when I was in the 4th grade I'll admit) beat a band like AC/DC

This list was being discussed on a Zeppelin forum as if it actually meant something (yet they were unhappy with a No.2). Of course it's all a load of **** or atleast subjective, but clearly I'm spot on. Having said that, the definitive greatness of The Beatles is always debatable (they'd be No.1 on my list however) but these must be the lone few who'd dare put Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band ahead of The Beatles. Despite being an opinion, in light of this I think the list has been rendered officially wrong. You can't really compare a band that has been out of the touring circuit for nearly 40 years with one in today's market. I guess this explain 'N Sync or however it's spelt. Automatic disqualification for incorrect grammar.
ah, i have to make a confession here. I don't really care for Floyd *gasp* I realize their lyrics are superb, i just hate slow, droning, depressive songs that make me want to dig my brain out with a baby spoon....sometimes i listen just to the words and try to block the rest out...but over all, my fav from them is "Moneh" because it's a bit kickier... Zep's a little depressing to me, too, but luckily, they rock! But, big-legged women DO have soul, i'd like to add....
This concludes "confessions of a dangerous mind"...
Amber
And, yes, i enjoy Bruce Springsteen more than the Beatles.."better"? well, i would never debate that, it would be fruitless...and i really like fruit...

Me too! I usually get so frustrated when I watch shows on vh1 or mtv where they barely get mentioned in their nifty little lists, etc.

What about Dire Straits being ranked ahead of FM? I like them, but no way would I have expected to see them ranked higher!

My husband would agree with "wtf" about Van Halen being #50!

I would put Led Zep at #1 except for the fact that their lyrics stink half the time. Other than that, they are a flawless band.

So, with that said, F.M. should be #1, at least in my mind, but I understand why they're not.

The Beatles take it every time, why? I have no clue. Someone please explain it to me without mentioning "album sales" because that means nothing to me.
