Well, yeah...But unlike Beatles, Zeppelin, Floyd, et al The Velvet Underground were, once upon a time, quite the cult band with very little recognition. Admittedly you have to go back a while, but this was once the case. It's always interesting to see them mentioned around the above acts considering how different their history is compared to the other canon stuff. Always made me wonder what they did "right" to achieve this. It's probably that they were named-dropped by enough respected artists later, I reckon

Very good point. 🤔
I'll have to read more into this.

Rolling Stone lists tend to be dominated by 50's-70's artists, although if I remember correctly, I think they forgot Pink Floyd in the first top 100 artists list they published...

I think everything on that list should probably be there, just not in that order.

I'm pretty sure Rolling Stone put them even higher than 26th in their top 100.

Anyways, this list is good for what it is. Mostly classic rock, safe stuff. Solid, but not very interesting and not much I listen to on here. The Velvet Underground all the way up at #24 is surprising.

I think it's a great collection of influential artists. I wish The Smiths made the list, though.

They can go on the greatest short lived bands list. Them, Nirvana maybe, who else?

One single wouldn't even be enough. You need to have like 20-30 hits to be a top band. Even then, you need to put out maybe 3 amazing albums. Sorry, NMH. You were great for your years, but you only put out 2 amazing albums. 😁

Why are Nickleback and One Direction not amazing? Were you told to hold the opinion they were terrible? 🤔

popular singles are not indicative of an act's quality (at least for me). it is a moot point. you can think of good and bad bands for each side.

oh, and going into these sorts of lists and ridiculing them for including pop and classic rock stuff is pretty weak, tbh

Hit singles show a band is fantastic. Should they be putting artists on with... like... 8 listeners now? 🙄

Not singles. I mean songs and albums. Never seen a single, never owned one.

The top 100 bands need to be bands that have A LOT of hits. Zeppelin, Elton John, Beatles, and Pink Floyd are really good examples.

Muse is ranked 28 in the top-ranked bands list here on BEA,
so they should certainly be placed in a good top 100.

I don't why Muse shouldn't be on there when they have Beyonce. On a normal list, Muse is out the question, on this list, not really.

I wouldn't put either of those on. personally.
