i can't believe primus made the list. i bet the guy that made it listens to matchbox 20 and savage garden.

jamiroquai does not deserve to be on there, neither does skinny puppy, whitesnake, arrested development and vanilla ice, yes, vanilla ice, he is the man!

[PUNKER]

Ok, I can agree with Colour Me Bad & Michael Bolton but WTF is going on with Primus, Crash Test Dummies, Arrested Development, THE DOORS!! (um hello), Live, Blind Melon, love, I can list more than half these bands and put them on my favourites list!!!
This guy is a total loveing Loser
Im sure Kirsten will have a few words to say about Insane Clown Posse being number 1.

Ps: who is Oingo Boingo ?

[PUNKER]

They are changing my swear word FK to love...loveing loser???

It wouldn't surprise me if the editor told him to put a few controversial ones in there just to get some attention. I have never heard of Blender magazine before this article.

OK. I feel like embarressing myself here:

> 5. Starship

Classic 80s band!!

> 6. Kansas
> 7. Asia

OK. Bands with place names as names such.

> 8. Vanilla Ice

How cruel! Vanilla Ice was a farking pioneer in the world of rap... because he was vanilla.

> 18. Pat Boone

I just loved Pat Boone's "In A Metal Mood" (a crooner's covers album of classic metal tracks such as "Panama", "Enter Sandman", "It's A Long Way To The Top").

> 37. The Doors

I disliked the Doors but know they are good enough not to be on this list.

> 41. Whitesnake

David Coverdale rocked!

> 43. Mike and the Mechanics

Crikey! This writer must have been picked on a lot in the 80s or something.

> 49. Toad the Wet Sprocket

The writer knows jack sh*t and probably listens to Matchbox 20.
Pale was their best album according to UBL (www.ubl.com). Their only bad album was "Coil", probably because Rob Thomas probably tried to copy Glen's voice.

I can't believe they put the Doors or Primus there either! They missed out on Britney and Backstreet Boys.
