I wonder what their definition of 'good' is. ;)

I'm fairly happy with who's on the list, but the order seems a little fubar.

I'll be honest and say I had to google a few names.

Win Butler and Regine Chassagne?

That's the married couple in Arcade Fire.

Aww, holla for John & Exene.

But then Exene went on to marry Viggo Mortensen.
That's so bizarre to me

Nice to see Ira Kaplan and Georgia Hubley from Yo La Tengo included there.

Ike and Tina though? Really? I presuming they are talking on a purely musical level here.

Yeah, I know that now. ;)

That's why I wondered what their definition is.

WTF? John and Yoko #1? Doesn't the inclusion of Yoko Ono in any coupling automatically place that duo at the bottom of the list?

I just can't stand RS's need to appeal to the hipsters. Arcade Fire? White Stripes? :rolleyes: Who the f*** would even consider them worthy of this list? And how could they leave out the ultimate rock royalty: James and Carly! :mad: And, of course, John and Christine! :shrug:

Just because you're living in 1973 doesn't mean everyone else is.

why? :shrug: :confused: :laugh:

It's so wrong for them to be on the list. Even if it is musical, Ike was no musician. It was always about Tina.

You're right, women love the firm hand of a man. Tis a beautiful thing :D

LMAO :lol: about the Yoko thing. shes a creep. :eek:

WTFs up with the new bands. you sell a few million records and your more special than the McVies...:shrug: I dont get it either....

I forgot about James Taylor and Carly Simon!!!
They Should be Number one.
followed by the McCartneys.
Then of course our own SnL :)

I still havent heard of a few of those names

I guess they're included because the music they released together is so highly regarded still but I agree, Tina was the true talent there.

There's only two new bands on a list of 15. RS would look even more dated and irrelevant than it already does if it didn't acknowledge more modern bands.
