Depeche Mode should be much higher than 98. They only sold 100 million records worldwide.

"Depeche Mode should be much higher than 98. They only sold 100 million records worldwide."

This is supposed to be about artistry not popularity.

100,000,000 * 0 = 0

Diphead Mode should be nowhere near a top 100 list.

Maybe they meant to include KMFDM?

If record sales is the criteria, then where is Frank Sinatra (about 150 million) or the Eagles, whose “Greatest Hits” album alone sold nearly 30 million copies?

For that matter, AC/DC, Garth Brooks and Shania Twain all have had an album that has sold > 20X Platinum (i.e. over 20 million copies).

This is a crap list.

Not to mention highly influential to other bands in the 80’s, 90’s and even today.
