VH1 Top 100 Hard Rock Bands

[ClubDave]

fuck nirvana........im sick of them being viewed as so great which takes credit away from bands i lvoe from the 90's that they hold down........like 311 for instance.......they are so much more talented than the people who have heard 3 or 4 radio singles from them could ever know.........and concerning vh, if it was up to me i would put them at number 1, i believe metallica was number 6........ but anyway, i think its really hard to decide between hendrix and zepplin, if it was up to me.......hendrix would be number 2, so here is my list

1 Van Halen
2 Jimi Hendrix Experience
3 Led Zeppelin
4 Black Sabbath
5 Guns N Roses
6 Queen
7 Aerosmith
8 The Who
9 AC/DC
10 Metallica

i just checked out the list, and as it turns out, metallica is number 5 and nirvana is number 6, ive never been a huge AC/DC fan so that is why they are so far down on my list.....i never really was able to get down with the format that they used over and over again......i love hells bells and tnt though

I also believe that it is relatively short sighted nostalgia rather than any coclusive evidence that Nirvanna rates so highly in poles...let's give it 10 more years or so, see if it holds up.

Hear hear! The media jammed that "voice of his generation" crap down peoples throat as soon as Teen Spirit broke. I, for one, never felt it.

I think they really blew it by waiting so long to put out the greatest hits and the "journals" book. Ten years after he died, Cobain has proven to be mostly irrelevant to modern music. Like Morrison before him, people on remember him 'cause he died young.

IT WAS OBVIOUS

It was obvious that when the bands and critics were referring to how great VH's frontman was they were referring to ROTH. Then VH1 would show clips of mostly ROTH material. I've reached the point to where anytime I hear or see someone trying to promote the idea that VH's legacy is as big with hagar as it is with ROTH I automatically recognize them as a complete moron. It's laughable. Vhagar doesn't even compare to VAN HALEN. Deal with it.

Metallica was the one you forgot.

[ULTRAMAN VH]

It is a travesty that Shitvanna is in front of VH on this list, absolutely rediculous. And I agree that Aerosmith should be in the top ten also.

Nirvana was a neat little musical distraction from the hair metal that was selling before it, and they did open some doors for grunge to come in and take over for a bit, but as a lasting musical legacy, please. Were Cobain still alive today, they'd be split up and he'd be fucking around with some other stupid, inane band that nobody would care about trying to salvage something out of the ashes of grunge. In other words, they'd probably be in Pearl Jams shoes.

Nirvana were already heading down the toilet before he died, anyway...their 5 minutes were just about up. Cobain comitting suicide, was, tragically, a damn good career move.

That's a good one!

I thought the list should have looked like this:
1.) LED ZEPPELIN
2.) BLACK SABBATH
3.) VAN HALEN
4.) AC/DC
5.) JIMMI HENDRIX
6.) METALLICA
7.) AEROSMITH
8.) ALICE IN CHAINS
9.) GUNS N ROSES
10.)JANES ADDICTION

ALICE IN CHAINS was/is WAY more influential on music than NIRVANNA. FUCK, EVERYBODY right now shounds like ALICE IN CHAINS!!!! What a tragic FUCKING WASTE!!!

DAVE OR THE GRAVE BABY!!!

Alice in Chains were great. I like Nirvana, In Utero was ok but overall a disappointment after Nevermind. They just want more representation from the 90's in their lists. VH1 put Nevermind like #2 on their list of best all time album.

There's no way that I could honestly give VH the #1 slot, not the way the original lineup turned out.....

I've always said that if they would have been together just one album past 1984, they would have been right up there with the heavyweights, i.e. Zeppelin, Stones, Who, Sabbath.... That's how big they were in 1984, they were on the verge of superstardom....

And now look at them.....

I agree with that Matt, and if I haven't voted for you, I am now.

VH1 replays this count down on TV, and I saw (from memory):

1. Led Zep
2. Sabbath
3. Hendrix
4. AC/DC
5. Metallica
6. Nirvana
7. VH

and then the rest ...

Could the list be different on their site? Who knows. But I know I've seen the TV show more than once.

And see... deep down inside, Sammy knows it too! That's why he's always been so paranoid about Dave, cause Dave's always been the real deal... always will be. Fuck fatass Hagar and the Van Hienies.

So true! I remember watching VH1's 40 Celebrity Feuds and they listed Spam vs. Davy Baby in the 20s. The clip they played from the 'Sam & Dave' tour showed Spammy bitchin' about being assigned the smallest dressing room! That fat fucker was whining so bad about Dave getting top notch accomidations while his dressing room was "No bigger than a closet."

Second-rate singers are supposed to get shitty dressing rooms, dude!
