Dave Matthews doesn’t qualify as music or art of any sort.

You know who is a big Dead fan - Patrick Leahy. They were refered to as a “Jug band.” You have to hit the jug or bong to enjoy them. Total BS.

Good bands that came out of Calif around the same time - two:
1. Beach Boys
2. The Byrds

Maybe The Doors a little. The rest were shite.

Hard to imagine Ann Coulter being a Deadhead.

This list is TOTAL BS. Where are The Shaggs?

They had hits like My Pal Foot Foot, The Philosphy of The World, My Cutie, Who Are Parents?

The Shaggs are the best girl band though I like The Go Go’s.

lyrics to Air Crash Museum / The Dead Milkmen

The Dead Milkmen
Air Crash Museum

Went out to feed the cattle
And to my surprise
My lawn was full of bodies
Just a gatherin’ up the flies
A big ol’ jet liner
Had dropped from out of the sky
Well I was so darn happy that
I couldn’t believe my eyes
We’re gonna stuff ‘em
Put ‘em on display
‘tween Patsy Cline and Buddy Holly
Loadin’ up my tractor
Gonna take the bodies inside
Betty Lou will bring the sawdust
And I’ve got the formaldehyde
I’m callin’ up my neighbours
Tell ‘em all to drop by
A body stuffin’ party
And we’ll bake some kidney pie
We’re gonna stuff ‘em
Put ‘em on display
‘tween Patsy Cline and Buddy Holly
We’ll have our own air crash museum
People lined for miles just to see ‘em
Jim Croce’s in the corner
The Big Bopper’s by the stairs
Ricky Nelson’s in the kitchen
But nobody cares

What, you’re not on the first named basis with “Jerry” like the rest of us? Shame.

VH1 Names the 100 Greatest Artists of All Time

The equivalent of McDonald's Names the 100 Greatest Restaurants of All Time.

Dylan and Ray Charles are here, that's all I care about right now.

Agreed. It is earwash BS like Whootie & The Blowfish. Some weird Muzak crap with nothing memorable. Both bands were like “hey were multicultural.”

“Loved the Dead Milkmen”

Any group that could write lyrics like this:

BITCHIN CAMARO, BITCHIN CAMARO
Doughnuts on your lawn
BITCHIN CAMARO, BITCHIN CAMARO
Tony Orlando and Dawn

damn well deserves to be on THIS list!

"Dave Matthews doesn’t qualify as music or art of any sort."

What? WHAT? Listen, sure if you dig the Air Supply, DMB probably isn't your speed. But, this is one of the greatest live performance EVERY...

Dave Matthews Band - Two Step - Central Park - Part I

You've got to listen to parts I AND II.

They had the Velvet Underground pretty darn high, I mean I know they were real influential and all that, but how many people even know the name of one of their songs?

Prince (although I enjoy some of his music) is a self important twit.

Agree totally. He's a reclusive, narcissist queen, who thinks the world of himself. Love some of his early stuff (Sign O' The Times), but the dude is about as weird as they come.

And what about Suicidal Tendencies:

Mom just get me a Pepsi, please
All I want is a Pepsi, and she wouldn’t give it to me
All I wanted was a Pepsi, just one Pepsi, and she wouldn’t give it to me.
Just a Pepsi.
