...um Passengers? honestly - I think that what they did in the 90's kinda gave them a bit more slack in the 00's (although they had better NEVER do another ATYCLB)

but about the list - most of it kinda makes sense. I was originally pretty shocked about Beck being listed there, then I thought about it and thought - well, Mutations was just ok, I hated Sea Change, Guero was iffy...

and Trent, well - I could picture him being like #10, but not any lower

Apart from Beck, I agree with the list. A lot of those bands have made good music in the past but are now way past their sell by date and I think NiN might be one of them.

"Then I heard With Teeth, and I drove an hour back to my home town just to punch my grandmother in the crotch."

i wouldn't even call half of the list "bands" at all....

this is really hard but there a lot of true thing there. I'm really ok for what he says about James Blunt, Coldplay, Audioslacve and Nickelback.

I really like Tool, but that's true each of their album remains the same, but for me and in this type of case, it's not a problem. As said by one of my professor this year about Thelonius Monk's music; "Being repetitive is not especially a problem, it's all about the way you manage it".

Gotta say I love the White Stripes. Incredible guitar and vocals in my opinion. But what he wrote about them was funny, so who cares? And NIN is definitely on a downward spiral. Pun sort of intended.

Achtung Baby,Zooropa,Pop! Listen to Daddy's Gonna Pay For Your Crashed Car off Zooropa. Ok they may not be bringing anything new but it sounds fresh and timeless.With Vertigo have gone full circle and back to there roots.They sound different from other Rock Groups as they have the Edge

Passengers really grew on me in the end.Influence of Mr Brian Eno
He has helped the band an awful lot and much of his early Ambient is on a few albums especially The Unforgettable Fire. I dont listen to ATYCLB as much.Beautiful Day sticks out the most on there.

good lord no.

and their last two albums have been euphamistically called going back to their roots, i call it "i can't believe they would do what they've done before only worse and more adult contemporary now"

atomic bomb made me hate them so much. it's all sorts of worthless posturing, calling the edge's style "signature" instead of "fucking stale" and continuing bono's whinging style of "singing" that tried to be so fucking epic except that his lyrics are incredibly awful.

YES! to everything you just said...

i think that u2 in a way is under-rated, because i thikn that the three albumns: achtung, zooroopa and pop are under-rated, caues i think they are their best. i agree that the last 2 are total garbage...

anyhow, they are not deserved of this list...
