OK. So the way I made these rankings is quite complex. I created a system that calculates the greatness of musical groups. This system uses the number of #1 hits, top ten hits, grammy awards, and album sales to calculate a group's greatness. It also uses lists of great songs and albums made by famous publications such as Rolling Stone magazine, and VH1. I can just plug in some numbers and the calculating system spits out a number that represents that groups greatness. For example, the #1 group of all-time, The Beatles, were very uncontested. They got 2047 points, where the #2 group, The Rolling Stones, got 1124 pts. The #100 group, The Pixies, recieved 110 pts. That is how far the point values range, but it was a close race for #100. 16 groups had between 100 and 109 points!
Groups that just missed the cut were:
Alice in Chains, Styx, Yes, Genesis, The Stone Temple Pilots, Oasis, Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band, ZZ Top, The Talking Heads, The Impressions, The Kingsmen, The Shirelles, REO Speedwagon, Blue Oyster Cult, Cheap Trick, and Matchbox 20.

@Issens Haha I think you're right man. My bad. To be completely honest, I made these vids pretty much forever ago, before I really got into music, and they really SUCK. Complete honesty. I might end up deleting them and reduing them with actual rock acts and a completely reworked list with solo artists and more indie artists. I have already made the list, and it may not make people happy, but there are more acts that are not mainstream but very influential such a Pavement and Joy Division.

Ha! Nice bro! I love the DMB. Their new album Big Whiskey and the GrooGrux King is amazing. If you like them and haven't got it yet you should definitely buy it.
