"All for Leyna" should be somewhere on this list

The Monkees should be in the 60s list. It won an Emmy for Best Comedy Series in 1967, beating out four shows that are included on the list.

My main question with this is still the Looney Tunes/Merrie Melodies cartoons and the like. They truly transcend the medium, but it's difficult to measure how much is it because a show, the movies, all the marketing around it, etc.


I don't think they should be included. They were theatrical ...

I'm personally cool with it being included. Whatever Ryan thinks.


What I think is that generative AI stuff like that is extremely gross, and I don't particularly like it being used to make arguments on here. I'm not attacking you specifically Zach, and I hope you don't take this personally. But ...

I also have a second list as part of this, 100 Greatest Influences on Alternative Music, that I created because I thought David Bowie and the Velvet Underground didn't really belong on the main list but I felt like I had to mention them in some way.

Some of the artists on this list are very surface ...

Artists I am probably increasing their position next revision
50. The Jam
52. No Doubt
53. Stone Temple Pilots
62. PJ Harvey
66. Rage Against the Machine

69. The B-52's - more specifically alternative than Blondie
72. Linkin Park
73. Incubus

I don't remember the Musical Influence category from before, but I can understand Salt-N-Pepa being inducted here, being an early female hip hop artist. I don't really see Zevon as influential, he would seem to fit better under Musical Excellence.


Musical Influence used to be called Early ...

How about "Paperback Writer" and "Rain" by The Beatles, primarily for influence. Granted, "Subterranean Homesick Blues" preceded them, and each reduces the influence of the other because they were released together. Still, if the list has 500 entries, I'd think they belong on it somewhere.


Good ...

3. Sting & Darby Allin vs. Young Bucks 3/3 Greensboro (86) 838


My personal match of the year. The two above it are technically better sure, but nothing meant more to me than watching Sting ride off into the sunset on his own terms in a match where no one held anything back.

Really good article. One small nitpick is that Billy Idol has 1 #1 hit (Mony Mony) which you forgot to list.


I already ...

Hey, I wrote this.

I'm putting together a write up about all the nominees for the website I'm part of, and here's a draft of the section I wrote about Phish. I think they have an interesting argument for induction, and not just because I am a fan.

This is a bit scattered and it's not everything I want to write, but ...

Mana getting a nomination before the more celebrated and revered "Rock en Español" act Soda Stereo is icky to me. Plus, I just can't stand their vocalist.


If it's any consolation, I've heard a lot of Latin American music fans and writers complain about Mana getting the nod before Soda Stereo ...

If I had a ballot I'd vote for:

Cyndi Lauper
Mariah Carey
Joy Division/New Order
Outkast
Phish
Soundgarden
The White Stripes
