Pat Smear: the Germs, Nirvana, Foo Fighters. Multi-generational across 4 decades and still highly relevant. Big miss

Imagine coming here JUST to see Corey Taylor and finding out he's not even a honorable mention

I almost didn't agree when I saw Dave Grohl at #2 wondering who could be more successful in more than one band than Dave? Oh yeah... Eric Clapton. Shit. Almost forgot about that.

Maynard James Kennan also should be mentioned.

Having Chris Cornell in 9th is a travesty.

Steve Winwood definitely belonged on the list (The Spencer Davis Group, Traffic, Blind Faith and more).
