Totally forgot about the dead. You're absolutely right that they're in there.

I'd probably swap them with the Ramones in my list.

My modified list (no order, that's too tough):

The Doors
The Grateful Dead
Pearl Jam
Guns N Roses
Metallica

Pretty tough to debate that list if we're talking mass world popularity and timelessness.

The Pixies
The Doors
The Beach Boys
The Velvet Underground
Joy Division

You really think Metallica is timeless?

I mean I used to be a huge fan when I was younger but they haven't aged well with me.
