I actually think that their list is pretty much perfect. The only swap I'd make would be to switch REM's spot with Nirvana.

I feel like a great pioneer for introducing the tier system.

I did make it a lot easier to do this

[Billy Castillo]

Second Tier

The Beach Boys, for being better than The Beatles and criminally under-rated by people who take them as just a novelty act - Brian Wilson is a fucking genius, no one's been able to write better pop music than him in decades.

Amen. Actually, what many people fail to realize is that the Beach Boys still put out great music after Brian pulled back up until 1976. I mean, he's barely even on Holland, and that to me is in their top 5 of best things they ever did. And as great as Brian was, his brother Dennis was just behind him.

I like Kokomo.

[Billy Castillo]

LOL...that's like the one song Beach Boys marks (as opposed to casual fans) actively despise. Over at the BB site I moderate, http://www.smileysmile.net (cheap plug!) you could get shot for admitting you like it. They can be anal like that.

Eh... I file it under "guilty pleasure".

[METALMAN]

I've heard that but I still think it's good. Except the CD I have of it is scratched so it always skips halfway through.
