Yeah good sir tinyp3nis Radiohead is definitely on the overrated side.

Hey Dissident could you please explain to me the attraction in Metallica?

If you don't like metal, I don't expect you to like Metallica. They have no popular appeal. I don't expect people to like them.

dark is great . I just wish they didn't sound gay being dark.

wimpy British music

i think pink floyd definitly got the shaft in this list.

they included the obvious which arnt actually that great (wish you were here) and left out the songs like 'shine on you crazy diamond' which had way more influence.

And is a good song in its own right. Is comfortably numb in there? thats also an excellent song.

Dissident; I like metal, I listen to Korn on a frequent basis and I like other metal bands as well such as Sepultura. Gun's and Roses are vastly superior to Metallica too, for some reason I compare the two.

[Flip McWho]

And dark isn't always great. Every now and again I'd like to feel happy and have the music reflect this.

[Lawrence of Arabia]

yes, comfortably numb IS included (a great inclusion by the way, most people dont thin of CN when they think of PF)

[Flip McWho]

No they don't but that is by far their best song, its a beautiful song.

The thing about Pink Floyd is, their albums are greater than the sum of their parts; "Animals," "Wish You Were Here," "Dark Side of the Moon," "Atom Heart Mother," and "Ummagumma" are all better as a whole than any individual song on any individual album. So they're not really well-served by a greatest-song list.

Strange as it sounds I like Nine Inch Nails have several cd's.

ummm if you look in your pretty hate machine booklet, it says in bold letters: trent reznor is nine inch nails. kinda funny to say you don't like trent, but you dig his music. seriously. the man records nintey-eight percent of his own music.

Excellent point. I like old / middle Pink Floyd albums. I got tired of them after The Wall stayed on the radio for 5 years too long. I'm not sure if they are overrated these days, but IMO they were overrated for a while. But I like them nonetheless.
