Adrii1039 Posted September 7, 2010 Author Posted September 7, 2010 VH1's doing a 100 Greatest Artists of All Time countdown thing this week, but Green Day already came in at #91. Is this like, different categories or something? I'm slightly confused. Turns out you're right! They did come in at #91. I'm so sorry, everyone. and that you wasted your time voting... BUT to try and make it up to you all, I recorded a video of what was said about Green Day! I'm in the process of uploading it, so I'll post the link in a bit. Once again, I'm sorry! EDIT : here's the link sorry for the lack of decent quality. I recorded this with my ipod nano.
clairemarie Posted September 7, 2010 Posted September 7, 2010 I'm watching this right now and Green Day came in at number 91. I cheered and then I said "They should be higher on the list though!" Then my dad, always the funny one, says "They should go walk alone." Wow dad, you sure are original...

Then my dad, always the funny one, says "They should go walk alone." Wow dad, you sure are original... Your dad's just ig'nant, just like the rest of the world apart from us Green Day fans. I don't really mind that Green Day was so low, that's just VH1 being a douche and lacking the much-needed respect for the band, but you mean to tell me they're down below The Bee Gees and ABBA?! That's just extremely insulting!!!

I'm sorry but putting Journey at number 96 is like suicide. THAT is just sad. I sware, this list is HORRID. Certain artists on there, I get. And others, I simply can NOT comprehend whatsoever. But I'll be damned, if the beatles aren't in the top 3, some shit is going DOWN.

Yeah, I can understand some, like The Doors is higher than Billie&Co., and so is Elvis Costello, but really?! The Bee Gees and ABBA?! On an ABBA-related note, when the hell were they ever considered "rock 'n roll"?! When the fuck did they qualify for the Rock 'N Roll Hall Of Fame?! They're Swedish pop! WTF?!

You took the words straight out of my mouth. My jaw dropped and I looked at my dad and said "ROCK N ROLL?! WTF?!" Yeah, thats some stupid shit right there. They're straight pop. Plus, some of the hip hop artists are bullshit in my opinion. LL FUCKING COOL J?! really? uhm, FUCK NO. And Tupac should have been higher on the list than Biggie. But I definitely agree with NWA, but not so much the placement of Run DMC. Mariah Carey I get to some extent, but Mary J. Blige? Not even. Oh yeah, and people might get upset at this one but the Talking Heads? I think not. This list is shit so far. Like I said, some I agree with but where there placed on the list, not so much...
redbloodedmannequin Posted September 7, 2010 Posted September 7, 2010 I do not like Abba. AT ALL. D: Anyways, if anyone's interested, here's the whole list: Click I finally got the link to work!
Punk-tastic32 Posted September 7, 2010 Posted September 7, 2010 C'mon everyone! Someone is spamming for Brittney Spears. If Green Day loses to her, I think I'll eat a bullet for breakfast tomorrow.
Opezi Posted September 7, 2010 Posted September 7, 2010 yknow we might have hoped for a better place then 91. but it is 100 greatest artists of all time, and they are going up against a very tough crowd. at least they were put in the show. so they are considered as one of the 100 greatest artists of all time.
Katarina. Posted September 7, 2010 Posted September 7, 2010 Hmmm, yeah. At least they were in that list. That's nice
Zero. Posted September 7, 2010 Posted September 7, 2010 Voted bloody oath how many times can one person vote for Britney Spears?
sampy Posted September 7, 2010 Posted September 7, 2010 Voted bloody oath how many times can one person vote for Britney Spears? Yeah I was thinking the same. That has to be a some kind of bot or something..
Zero. Posted September 7, 2010 Posted September 7, 2010 Yeah I was thinking the same. That has to be a some kind of bot or something.. I know! There is a new vote every 5 seconds by the same person lol

I posted the video about what was said a page back.
†...HAUSHINKA...† Posted September 7, 2010 Posted September 7, 2010 I think there aren't no doubts about how much they deserve it!
JadedHaushinka Posted September 7, 2010 Posted September 7, 2010 Going to vote now. Thanks for sharing. Edit: As I was going on the website, I noticed there wasn't anything there. So, I read the latest post by the author of this thread and noticed it's ended already. :/ I wish they got a better place than 91.
Schlappy Posted September 7, 2010 Posted September 7, 2010 It's apparently an ongoing thing though. VH1 confuses me. i think the "greatest artists of all time" part is done and decided but the other categories like "greatest artist now" are still going. They deserve much more Than that!!! Well at least we always know that there number 1! yes! i mean, being the 91st greatest artist of ALL TIME is amazing!... but then you see who else is on the list ahead of them and it doesnt hold the same honor really.
Smoothed Out Posted September 7, 2010 Posted September 7, 2010 Oh crap, is there still time to vote? *runs to twitter* Edit- oh ok nevermind...
