So you want a list of the best music for 100 year olds?

I left the Eagles off my list but they are all over my play list. Saw them at @Swaye northern plains home at the Muckleshoot early this century. Still a great show
You seem like the sort of old timey Dawg fan that would like the peaceful, easy, feeling of the eagles and a fresh bowl.
If AC/DC came in behind Nirvana, I was going to set fire to the whole fucking place.
Tool really doesn't belong tied with the bad boys, either. Picking scabs again can't really compare to movin' down the motorway with a whole lotta booze. Not a huge complaint, though, as Tool does rock and I like them.
Definitely a stronger than expected showing by Metallica. Fine with me.
This pole wasn't entirely gay. Props to YellowSnow for tabulating the results.

I didn't pick them, rather, just referring to their getting some votes. Personally I think U2 is one of the most overrated bands ever despite my owning a few of their albums. I was kind of surprised with the utter lack of Pearl Jam support. I thought some early 90s Doogs would be pulling for them.

As stated previously, most of you have shit taste in music.
Metallica @ #2 is proof.

So, the whole poll thread title was deceptive because really it was 'here's my ten favorite bands'.
Even as a noted Beatles hater, I'm intellectually honest enough to know their importance to musical history and their status as one of the top 10 bands of all time.
Tool. Christ.

Apparently so and thanks for pointing that out. I'm just a liberal arts (history) major and thus not to good with numbers and what not. The 5 way tie was for the 9th and 10th place vote getters at 5 apiece.

I don't think the title and objective of the original thread/poll was "deceptive" per say. But the intent was definitely a name "your ten most favorite desert island" rock artists or bands sort of vote, as opposed to having people post who they view as, say, "ten most historically Important" rock bands or solo artists. Too much intellectually honesty required for the latter exercise and probably not as much fun banter. The Beatles are a perfect example - i.e., plenty of people aren't into them and that's fine - but they are certainly the most influential and important recording artists of the second half of the 20th century.
If was to go back to my original top ten favorites list - i.e., Stones, Beatles, Kinks, Zep, Neil Young, Bowie, Elvis, Dylan, Grateful Dead, and The Who - and make it a personal assessment of the 10 most historically important, I'd remove the Kinks and Dead, and sub in Hendrix and Chuck Berry.

Yes. The blind helping the blind works out so well.
