      Hmm, I wonder what's better, "Smells Like Teen Spirit" or "Stairway to Heaven." I suppose Nirvana is better!

        I actually read some of that at the fucking store, and just about laughed my ass off. Not surprising at all coming from these washed up hacks.........Like a Rolling Stone at # 1?! Gee, what a coincidence!

            Rolling Stone never ONCE put Van Halen on the cover of their magazine. What does that tell you?

            And before some dumbassed fucking sheep tries to correct me, I said Van Halen.

              :confused: Go figure! They put Davy Baby on the cover near the time he quit the group!

                Here's the full cover dated Apr. '85 after he left Van Halen! I found it at the rag's website under Davy Baby's bio.

                  The longest amount of time I’ve time spent looking at an issue of Rolling Stone is in that brief moment between using it to wipe my ass and flushing it down the toilet.

                  Putting Nirvana in the top ten of any list is a knee jerk reaction now-a-days. They can never give you a REAL reason for doing it. It’s just a way to appease the Seattle crowd and their clones. Their contribution to Rock was destroying the technique, creativity, and energy that put the genre above hip hop, disco, etc.
                  The Fat Lady is singing for Van Hagar.

                      I do remember that cover...

                      Don't worry Switch, they send it to me for free and have for years. I rarely even open the thing up... Straight to the recycle heap along with the comp issues of Star I've begged them to stop sending.

                      I barely have any time to read the stuff I do willingly subscribe to.

                      I'm told it works great as bird cage liner though, so there is another thought...

                        Dancin' in the Streets and You really Got Me are on the list. Oh, original versions. There aren't a lot of hard rock songs on it. I like Nirvana a lot, but Teen Spirit is probably the only song that should be on a list like this.

                        I can't believe they didn't a least put Jump on the list, the song that is both their biggest hit and worst Roth-era song(IMO).
                        Jump is one of the all-time great rock songs and had to be on that list!

                          Hahahahaa!! Maybe I'll get a puppy and let him shit on it while I house train it? Sounds good to me!

                              They probably downgrade any band that they feel fits into the redneck category.

                                I'm sure the White Stripes will have the entire top Five to themselves by next year.
