Yeah, but find one that doesn't.

I thought it was universally accepted that lists like these are put out to be universally panned and from that comes some interesting dialog.

My biggest complaint about this particular list, and it's been confirmed with multiple posts in this thread, is that the genres that define the 80's are underrepresented. Not one female pop star, very little heavy metal/hair metal, and too much that is akin to fitting a square peg in a round hole (Nirvana and NIN on a best of 80's list? You're trying too hard...).

No Metallica?

At least they got U2 in the Top 10.

A very astute point that encapsulates this list perfectly.
