Title: VH1's 100 Greatest Hard Rock Artists/Bands Post by: Markus Asraelius on March 17, 2006, 02:15:56 PM So, a little while ago VH1 had a show called the 100 Greatest Artists of Hard Rock.

I think according to the general public, this is a great list. Personally, I'd move a lot of stuff around and leave out a few (i.e. The Sex Pistols and The Ramones). I think it's a disappointment that Rush is so low, they're one of the top selling hard rock acts in the world (although, not in North America). Aerosmith should have cracked the top 10, Jethro Tull should be in the top 25, and Pink Floyd should be in the top 5! I'd love to move Kiss down, and The Who can go down a good 5-10 slots, also.
