I've been looking over this list and found some interesting things about it.
I find it interesting that some bands and artists did not make our list. I will list some of them that I'm not a fan of personally, but I read all the time about how great they are and all that. The most surprising is Bob Dylan. I've been hearing all my life about how Bob Dylan is the greatest songwriter who ever lived. Yet not one of his songs made our final cut.
But that's fine with me because I agree.
Here are some others that are supposed to be so great but could not even get just one of their songs on our list.
(1)Oasis
(2)Green Day
(3)Clash
(4)Muse
(5)Coldplay
(6)Wilco
(8)Animal Collective
(9)Michael Jackson
(10)Arcade Fire
(11)Smiths
(12)REM
(13)Bruce Springsteen
(14)Red Hot Chili Peppers _________________ .

few things GARY:
1) albummaster wrote: | 114. Do you realize that everyone you know someday will die? - The Flaming Lips | yep the most awesome Flaming Lips did get in there.
2) about 7 perople submitted quotes and around the same number (If not the same people) voted on it. So it's not enough to make broad assumptions like (paraphrasing) "Well I guess they're not that good then"
3) A lot of bands that you submitted quotes for didn't get in so try to have a little empathy and not gloat.
anyway I think that's a fair and good list based on what was submitted. A good range right there.

O.K. I removed Flaming Lips. So now my list of artists that have not even 1 song on our list is accurate. Is it not? So even when I just state a fact it's still not good enough
Actually Jherico, 11 of my Quotes did in fact make the final cut and are on the list.
I'm an old man. Just let me gloat a little O.K. _________________ .
