My God! Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus on the 100'th place, below Timbaland, Eminem and Kanye West. In this "Top100" NO MUSICIANS from Led Zeppelin, Queen, Scorpions, Pink Floyd, Black Sabbath and Deep Purple at all. RS confirmed their inadequacy once again. It's not a magazine - it's just a herd of morons.

 

[Tray73]

Am I mistaken or have they failed to list Phil Lynott? If so the list is pure bunkum!

 

[Metal Health]

For me, the best songwriter should have been Paul Simon, but I guess I'm not thinking the same as the writer.

 

[wisertime]

Yeah, someone phoned that in.

Paul and Lennon? Not surprised but I disagree. Of course Bob got #1 and I guess that's alright with me. But no one from Zeppelin? I can't believe Pink Floyd's Barrett or Waters/Gilmour wasn't on the top 10. Who can forget "Overhead the albatross hangs motionless upon the air?"

Another piece of trash proving the RS is the worst rock magazine to ever exist.

 

[Riff Raff]

Eminem isn't a bad song writer but lol at Kanye on the list.

 

[Hydrazoic Acid]

And pay your attention, Riff Raff - Kanye and Eminem in the list, but Angus and Bon - not. Is it possible, that two sloppy rappers cooler, than AC/DC?
