I don't think the magazine was talking about the most talented bands. Or the ones that the most people like. I think by "Best", they were listing the top 100 most influential bands. I don't like Nirvana, but I can't deny that they've had a ****ing huge impact on the music that I listen to today, even though they're completely different.
Metalhead made some pretty harsh comments about some bands being "emo" or whatever. Just because you like the genre of metal, doesn't mean you have to fall under the stereotype of a metalhead and be bias against every genre that isn't metal. I'll bet that a handful of metal bands gained influences from Linkin Park. And not NU METAL guitarists, I mean real metal. Death, grind, black whatever you listen to. Though they may never admit to it, I bet when they first picked up a guitar or a bass or a drum kit, they were listening to linkin park, or the chili peppers, or nirvana. Probly even THE USED. Yeah, thats a lot to take in, but it's true.
What it comes down to, is whether you're a musician or not, you have to respect all types of music. Even more so if you are a musician.
I apologize if a lot of what I said has already been said, I didn't feel like reading all the bogus posts.
