I wonder what their definition of 'good' is.

I'd rather see John McVie & Christine McVie on the list than some of these entries. I don't think their public profile, even back in the early 1970s, is any lower than Ira Kaplan & Georgia Hubley or Win Butler & Regine Chassagne. I guess the fact that only one of them was a songwriter is what makes them an unreasonable entry. Songwriting in rock is always accorded a weird sort of priority (the way Derrida said speech was privileged over writing), even though people have been grooving to the sound of rock bands for fifty years.
