Iggy & the Stooges hands down

Interesting that only about five of these artists were unknown in 1998.

yeah but there are like a dozen more that hadn't yet peaked in popularity or had just gotten big in the year or two before that

― some dude, Friday, 10 September 2010 14:04 (sixteen years ago)

Depeche Mode!

Priest getting some love! About time.

public enemy

I'm most pleased to see The Cure join the list.

They are such an easy target but I'd nominate Coldplay as the least deserving especially being higher than The Cure, ABBA and Depeche Mode.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

split decision between sabbath and run dmc

Rage Against The Machine pissed me off way more than Coldplay or Alicia Keys or whatever, to be honest, especially since they were basically the highest placing '90s rock act after Nirvana and Radiohead

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

corny indie fuxx0rs

― Dr. Lol Evans (Shakey Mo Collier), Thursday, 16 September 2010 23:09 (sixteen years ago)

I think I can pinpoint the exact moment when I stopped caring about what music was "relevant" or "groundbreaking" and that moment was when everybody went apeshit over Kid A

― Dr. Lol Evans (Shakey Mo Collier), Thursday, 16 September 2010 23:09 (sixteen years ago)

omfg of all the acts to have won this poll o_0

― لوووووووووووووووووووول (lex pretend), Thursday, 16 September 2010 23:11 (sixteen years ago)

voting for that band here is basically indefensible

― لوووووووووووووووووووول (lex pretend), Thursday, 16 September 2010 23:12 (sixteen years ago)
