• Aaaargh!! I concur, it sucks!!! Good to see a few bits of 60s psychedelia and some recognition for the sorely missed XTC, but most of it is awful. The writer is obviously aware only of VH1 and Golden Oldie shows and reads everything he believes in  the mainstream music press.

  I think some of the soul and motown songs on there are actually pretty huge....

• Absence of Grateful Dead clearly the biggest oversight.
  
  Also they can include rap but not metal?  Black Sabbath definitely belongs.  I\'m sick of Metallica but they still seem like a logical fit for lifetime achievement.  Trhrow in Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, and Slayer and maybe you have a list.
