15. American Idiot Green Day
101. Imagine John Lennon

101. Imagine John Lennon?

It says "ROCK ALBUM" though

How rock is Lennon's album?


Ive heard the Imagine album and outside of imagine I think most of it sucks personally.

I think people get too caught up in "Its John Lennon"

Where is this "local" radio station out of curiosity?  I am pleasantly surprised to see a couple of Tragically Hip albums on the list...so I am assuming it is a Canadian station.

Yeah Green Day American Idiot...ugh...and I am not sure I would have put Meatloaf that high, or even on the list.  But the rest of the list looks okay.

Straight out of Halifax, Nova Scotia!

Q104 plays Guns atleast once a day...and the DJ yesterday even mentioned Chinese Democracy and hoping it comes out soon!

[Rockin' Rose]

Pretty cool that all original Guns albums made the list

Your point is correct but also these lists are just debatable forever ya know?

Q104 have done this type of thing Multiple times and every time GNR comes up BIG. A few years ago on a weekend they did the top 104 Rock Bands and GNR came 3rd right ahead of The Rolling Stones.

Halifax LOVES GNR. But thats obvious by how the concert turned out last November.

[JDA]

Who cares.  I am sick about hearing about a 20 yr old album (even if it is one of my fav.)  Where is the new shit?

[Nytunz]

Cool!
Nice to see so many GNR albums on the list
But anyway.. GNR should top AC/DC

[WhatIsItMan]

So this is the "latest" GN'R news, eh?  Just checking...

[Rocker_GNR]

I missed some Judas Priest song in the list, could be "You've got another thing coming" or "Metal gods", or "Braking the Law", or ...

[Gargh!]

That's a pretty crap list.  No Piece of Mind?  No Seventh Son?

[freedom78]

These albums ranked near each other make me laugh (and cry...inside):

15. American Idiot Green Day
16. Black Sabbath Black Sabbath

32. All The Right Reasons Nickelback
33. 2112 Rush

Why the fucks is Girls, Girls, Girls ranked 18 spots higher than Shout at the Devil?  For most Crue fans, that one's just common sense.

[Bobarcord]

I would never take any of these polls seriously . The only opinion when it comes to stuff like this that should matter is your own.
