Lots of goodies in there, but they have an extended view of "rock'n'roll" I think.

Anyway, this would make for an excellent playlist, probably to be listened to chronologically to have a feel of the evolution.


Chronologically would be very cool... Cool You could hear how music has evolved. I'm going to look into this - maybe a playlist...

On another note - I wonder if they considered the 666 tracks of influence, but realized it would mean too much Dio? Razz

Very good list, however, Fatboy Slim and MC Hammer?? Shocked I'd remove those two and give Pearl Jam and Radiohead another track each ('Alive' and 'How to Disappear Completely').

I agree that Pearl Jam and Radiohead vastly outstrip Fatboy Slim and MC Hammer. Maybe Rolling Stone gave credence to their influence - Fatboy Slim had landmark videos and highlighted the surge of electronica in pop music in the late 90s (Chemical Brothers as well) and MC Hammer pushed poppy hip-hop forward (and sold loads of Pepsi). Shaping is not the same as quality, I guess.

Really??

I quite like this list. There are some strange choices, but as a whole I'd say it's pretty damn good!
