You know, because you should and all. --25-- JOY DIVISION Ah, Joy Division. They may have had "joy" in their name, but there's definitely no joy about them. Pioneering the post-punk genre, they played depressing and bleak music in the studio and abrasive and desperate music while live. They only released two albums in their short four years of existence, but two archive releases exist, along with a few compilations of rarities and their debut EP. Definitely one to check out.

--24-- OF MONTREAL Apparently they have a strange history, a history of which I don't really care about. That aside, they have quite a few releases, all ranging from the weird depth of psychedelia to David Bowie-esque funk music. If you were to ask me, "Hissing Fauna, Are You The Destroyer?" is both their quintessential and best album, so give it a spin. --23-- LYKKE LI A much more recent artist. She's a Swed that likes America, apparently. She has a style much like Of Montreal, but much more bleak. Here most recent album, last month's "Wounded Rhymes", is an amazing album, if you can get past its eccentricities. Her only other album, "Youth Novels", is also good, but not as much as "Wounded Rhymes".

This is Straf's list, huys. At least the Rolling Stones would be something he'd put on here.

"Why wouldn't they be first?" -Because, Assassin, Straf hates 'em, and therefore, they suck. See how it all works out? :) I don't either. But anyway, I'll be interested in seeing how this plays out. Continue

@Sam, 'Therefore, they suck.' You obviously don't have any view at music. Beatles are the king of rock. No doubt. They sold over millions of there albums, and caused a 'Beatle-mania.'

loving how the only reasons you backed yourself up with are statistical opinions want to go into their "talent" rather than just stupid numbers and rankings

Talent =/= albums sold If so, I guess Nickelback is like... Jesus or something. Which is obviously not true.

@Waffles, They sing way better than todays talent. They won a grammy. They played for the president (Probably.) They have talent.

lawlz I have to disagree. None of them could really sing at all. Paul could, I mean, but John was really gruff with it, George was to weak, and Ringo... Well Ringo was just Ringo. >___> Grammy awards are a joke. You don't know that. Talent =/= rehashing songs.

@Straf, 1. John sings awesome. Listen to imagine and hey jude. George is good. Listen to his Blue Jay Way. Ringo, ikr. 2. Grammys aren't a joke. They pick the most talented artists. They didn't even pick JB, so thats a good sign. 3. Thats why I said, 'Probably', :P 4. Uthinkthatbro.

Nah, John was pretty gruff with it. And he didn't sing "Hey Jude". Not the main bit, anyway, and I usually stop when the coda begins since it's majorly annoying. >___> Grammy awards are very much a joke. They just pick the most commercialized. Most talented? Yeah... no. As a recent example: Arcade Fire. They're good, yes, but should they have won their award? No. There were much better albums than that. Exactly I *know* that, rather. At least, they did it up until "Revolver". But even after that, Ringo would reuse his drum parts from every other song.
