01 � Metallica
Metallica I agree with to a point, though I don't mind their efforts up to the early 90's. They lack consistancy and yeah they've definitely taken a huge nose-dive.
They *could* probably be credited with being an entry point into a certain type of rock for people to be fair...and they did have some GREAT songs...but yeah "did" truly applies here.
Number 1 spot? Not at all.

02 � Green Day
Disagree. It's whiny sounding. No kind of profound lyrics (not that this is essential) and these days if I hear it, I'll change the station.
They had their heyday, but really to me they're just another pop-rock band that kind of got popular.
If you're mentioning shit like this, I'd have thrown up The Offspring into a much higher position, or say RHCP - both would be more at home on this list, though I don't think either of THOSE would make the top 10.

03 � Iron Maiden
I can get behind this one.

04 � Slipknot
Nope. I mean, they could have been better, they just never were.

05 � My Chemical Romance
...Wouldn't call it a rock group...

06 � Linkin Park
Nope, not at all. One of the whiniest bands I've ever heard.
I'm all for fusion, as I find it interesting but this doesn't mean it's going to be anywhere near prolific. Also can't stand the lyricist, "cat being strangled" actually applies when I think of him.

07 � Bullet For My Valentine
Who?

08 � Blink 182
Another 90's pop rock group. I actually liked the first song I heard from them "Dammit", (even though I thought it kind of borrowed a lot of style from the mighty mighty bosstones) I dunno, perhaps it appealed to my teen angst?
But then, nothing else they ever did even sounded LIKE this song...they just became IMO a comedy band trying to nip the heels of the bloodhound gang.

09 � Ozzy Osbourne
Him but not Black Sabbath? What?

10 � Foo Fighters
Hit and miss for me...I like some songs, I hate others...they're an ok band, and I don't have anything too negative to say about them...I'd be interested in hearing what they sounded like if they weren't trying to appeal to such a wide audience.
That said for this band to make the top 10, is ridiculous.


Are all of these meant to be "for the last 30 years?".
It's like they almost completely ignored the 70's...for the subject matter that's pretty absurd.
