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.

i said hip hop not rap....difference or not i dunno cuz i hate em both, but first of all do you like them? if not they probly shouldent be on the list second of all just because some idiot put them in the rock n roll hall of fame doesnt make them rock n roll

[SteelPeppers]

Hip hop and rap are the same thing. The Jackson Five is R&B, not hip hop. I do understand what you are saying that they shouldn't be on this list, though, and I apologize. I just thought a little variety would make the list a little more interesting.

[stickman2555]

jackson five was like hip hop

[SteelPeppers]

Are you f***ing serious? I know they aren't necessarily rock and roll but definitely not rap. They have been inducted into the rock and roll hall of fame, so I saw that as a qualification to be in this list.

[igototown]

child molester lol

[SteelPeppers]

Dude, you're awesome! I can't believe you watched the whole video. I didn't think anyone would ever notice that at the end.

[SuperNorthAmerica]

Hey you child molester!!!!!!! Are you a Catholic priest? You should be ashamed of youself. Are you a female? Perhaps you´re a sexy High School teacher? If you are, send me a naughty text message. I´m 13.

[AolaniAnvita1]

humsearching for a person who will act like a man when the time is right

[ztormar]

bla bla bla the grejtest album ever is 1) The Sweet - Level Headed 2) Phil Collins - Face vallue 3) UFO - Mechanix 5) Sweet - Giv us a wink 6) Bob Dylan - Knocked out loaded 7) Yes - Tomato 8) Beatles - White album 9) Elton John - Rock of westies 10) Scorpions - Best of the Scorpions

[G1NJ4H]

Yeah, I also saw the end message. That's not funny, even as a joke. Dick.

[SSSRProduction]

Ok, i am glad that you know that you are aware of it...

Speaking of all of this, i didn't noticed Blur on this list!!!

[SSSRProduction]

LOL!

Coldplay is a gay gay gay copy of Radiohead, and BTW Radiohead is too important band to be represented by Creep, they hate that song...

And Green Day...well lets just say that Joe Strummer is turning in his grave becouse they claim that he is their influence...

All the bands from this video are better than this two...

PS:Maybe you shouldn't name this Top 100 Rock 'n' Roll bands, i think Top 100 Pop Music Bands is a wider term, everything since Jazz can be put into category "pop music"...

[XILEOfficial]

i have a question, where are all the rock bands?

[OzzyVanHalen]

you definitely don't know your music genres

The Jackson5- POP

and i saw the message at the end of the video you sick fuck!

[krazy14kraz]

stickman2555, you're an idiot!
