I wonder if Coal Chamber will make it

With the 3 list rule, Creed is definitely making it.

I'm sorry you guys weren't able to sneak your pet loves onto the list. It is a community list. Three lists is a low but fair bar and it's what got us closest to 100. RM is a small community. That has its advantages and disadvantages. We all know each other well (is that an advantage or a disadvantage, I'm not sure sometimes) but not having a ton of people makes it hard to clear a hurdle of scientific accuracy with lists like this. I will no longer be responding to criticisms of the three-list criteria. It was the right choice, I am confident of that

this is a good thing, though.

I'm gonna need access to the raw data.

Jorge can be in charge of the vanity list

stay strong, argo

The National #1

stop the counting

You're right.

She really should have her own sub-forum.

Wrong, I don't think there should be any subforums

59. The Doors

Mystical blues-based rockers who revolved around the dark poetry and shamanic presence of Jim Morrison.

58. Silver Jews

Haunting lo-fi country outfit from Virginia that is essentially a vehicle for poet David Berman.

57. The Cure

The flagship for Great Britain's post-punk gloom-rock trend of the late '70s, with a ghoulish image that masked the diversity of their music.

56. Elvis Costello

The most evocative, innovative, and gifted songwriter since Bob Dylan, with songs that offered highly personal takes on love and politics.

55. Godspeed You! Black Emperor

Revered Montreal collective whose singular style combines avant classical, experimental rock, multimedia, and political expression.

54. Fleet Foxes

Acclaimed indie band from Seattle with an earthy, harmony-rich sound influenced by American country-rock and British folk-rock.

53. John Coltrane

A titan of the 20th century, the saxophonist pioneered many of the jazz revolutions of the post-hard bop era.

52.Broken Social Scene

An acclaimed Canadian collective whose cathartic brand of indie rock boasts eclectic influences.

51. Bon Iver

Wisconsin singer/songwriter whose sparse, otherworldly indie folk made him an award-winning critical and commercial sensation.

50.Dinosaur Jr.

One of the most distinctive, influential alternative bands of the '80s, creators of a loud, sprawling rock & roll driven by J Mascis' offhand vocals.

Argo, I know you're pulling those images from that "Ultimate Music Database," but I gotta point out, that picture is not of Godspeed You! Black Emperor, but rather Silver Mt. Zion. Since they share a few members, it's a common mistake.

Also that's New Pornographers not Broken Social Scene

Also that's Ted Cruz not Bon Iver

Well, that's a bummer. Sorry to all the bands and fans of those bands

Is this a meme? I literally spent five minutes trying to figure out if this is true or not

Hey, another vote for Townes Van Zandt. 1 more and he makes the list!

Ping me when Silverchair’s ranking is announced. Thanks in advance.
