Dropped like eight Motown artists from the chart and put Justin Timberlake in at #66.

Bo Diddley. Full stop.

I feel like if I were going to try to be objective about it and make it more a matter of most important artists, I'd have to go with Miles, but I really don't care for his music. So I will take Coltrane, though Paul Simon, Diana Ross,and Gladys Knight are all tempting.

I like Tapestry a lot but I'm always surprised to see best-of lists with Carole King, because it's really just that one album that's she's known for as a performer, & that album is good but doesn't justify in itself inclusion on such a list. You could vote for her based on her songwriting but then why not include other songwriters and like, Phil Spector or Berry Gordy?

Tom Waits. Zappa, Paul Simon runners up.

I'm surprised nobody's upset about Buddy Holly or Roy Orbison getting kicked to the curb...
Not surprised 80% of posts are Davis worship.

Wow, the `Pistols didn't make the cut?

I watched part of it. Fuckin' Def Leppard made the cut. Def Leppard beats out the `Pistols???

Seriously. MILES FUCKING DAVIS. CC FUCKING R. I don't even like the Grateful Dead but if you make a Top 100 and don't drop them in a token spot you are high. Fuck this list. I didn't even look at both lists but seriously you dropped the Temptations? Fuck you/die/etc. Even for a VH1 crowd...*puke*

Tell us how you really feel.

Line in the sand, man. By looking at the list of artists not included you can tell this list is fucked from the start.
