I found this information on RHCP's website, so all I have is the top 22. Well, here they are. It's a very odd list, and I'm not sure I agree with all of it. It is kind of funny to see things like Korn next to Dave Matthews. In all honesty, reading some of these names makes me want to completely disreguard the list, but most of them are alright. For instance, I would assume the Beatles would be somewhere above Green Day...or at least on the list...I don't know. Maybe that's me.

1.Nirvana
2.Metallica
3.Guns N Roses
4.U2
5.Radiohead
6.Linkin Park
7.Red Hot Chili Peppers
8.Green Day
9.Pearl Jam
10.No Doubt
11.Smashing Pumpkins
12.Nine Inch Nails
13.The Cure
14.Oasis
15.Aerosmith
16.Korn
17.Dave Matthews Band
18.Alice In Chains
19.Phish
20.Limp Bizkit
21.Van Halen
22.R.E.M

This looks more like a greatest bands of the last 25 years, hardly a greatest bands of all time list.

How long has MTV2 been around? I'm betting it's the top bands since it started up, or something of that nature.

maybe it's just complete horseshit.

yep, I'll bet that's it.

That's what I'm thinking.

Linkin' Park over RHCP... no way!

I went back here to quadruple check what I already knew, and yes it does say "Greatest Bands of All Time." I still didn't buy it. So, I went digging. I found this Reuters article on a Phish website. Apparently it was a situation where you were to get on their website and vote for the greatest band. Of course, since it was set up by MTV2, they only provided the ability to vote on bands that have had "their greatest string of comercial success during the post-MTV era, circa 1981."

To make my arguement short and sweet, it shouldn't be called "MTV2's Greatest Bands of All Time". It should be "MTV2's Recent Decent Bands, a Handful of No-Tallent "Musicians", and the Ass Raping of Rock Icons."

ok, ridiculous....
how the fuck did dave matthews band get in the same list as radiohead? this list is a bunch of shit...
i absolutely hate mtv. i hope that thier empire with soon fall.

It won't. The never ending cycle of new braindead 12 yr old consumer whores will ensure their survival. Something horrible would have to happen to take MTV down. Like a large explosion or several explosions.

I agree that MTV sucks, but MTV2 is decent. Its the only thing they have going for them as far as decent music goes. Its ridiculous that a network for music has programming that is at least 60% non-music related. Thats where MTV2 comes in. However, it could just end up being an extension of MTV, preparing the way for MTV3 - "Where We Actually Play Music."

I won't even watch MTV2.

Now, if you want something thats almost always music, then check out Fuse!

The only problem is you need to have satilite.

VH1 is starting to get like MTV. In fact, its a little better in some respects. It's a network for old people, but it doesn't have stupid screaming fans in the middle of its videos like TRL. That bugs me very much.

vh1 is better...even though its starting to get away from the music...sadly enough.

i enjoy the occasional behind the music, but what the fuck is with all this lifestyles of the rich and annoying shit? i'm about over that.

You mean the "It's good to be" shows. I hate them too, there's nothing like them telling us about all their millions upon millions of dollars to make us feel a little less of worth.

MTV2 - Good for 'Headbanger's Ball'
Fuse - Good for 'No Hip-Hop Bullshit'; however for some reason it is nigger month on Fuse like it always is on MTV so I have decided to just watch cartoons. [img]smile.gif[/img]

I dont have Dish anymore so now I just dont watch TV
