Ok for starters how can Dave fucking Grohl be ahead of Elvis? Thats bullshit. And where is Jimmy Page or Robert Plant?

Jimmy is 45. Robert isn't on it :laugh:

I don't get why that junkie piece of shit Pete Doherty got second.

Kurt Cobain at the top........ yeah, kinda sets the scene for what's to come. I never understood what was so special about him/nirvana. He was a mediocre Guitar player with a bad voice who blew his brains out, not majorly missed it has to be said. And where the Hell is Angus Young?

Forget Kobain, yeah he killed himself and is therefore a million times more respected than he should be by fags blah blah blah we know, but to say Jimi is 22... and all the indy fags that beat him.... thats fucking offensive! I fucking hate lists like this!
