This is so stupid. First off, the Strokes and the White Stripes don't belong anywhere near this list. They are crappy over-hyped bands that are getting a lot of attention because their parents were music superstars back in the day. Guns n' Roses "Appetite for Destruction" is the greatest rock n' roll record EVER MADE and it is not on this list. This list is garbage.
I think the folks at Rolling Stone were so worried about being diverse, they sacrificed their coolness. Dusty Springfield?
Speaking of uncool, I saw a commercial for an allergy medication last night on TV and the background music was We're Not Gonna Take It from The Who's Tommy. The horror!
