    Wow, I find it amazing that most of these bands/artists have never had a #1 song on the charts...

    I mean, (no offense to the fans) but the one that didn't surprise me was the Ramones. They're definitely a huge band in terms of today, but they didn't get the respect and honor that they deserved early on.

    I don't find it super surprising. Even when Rock music was at its height it always seemed overshadowed by pop music.

    It's always seemed much harder to get a rock song to #1 than a pop song... even back in the day.

    Badge of honor. I expected to see Pink Floyd in there, but "Another Brick in the Wall" climbed that mountain.

    Very surprising that "Last Kiss" went to #2.

    not when you consider the stuff that DOES hit #1. This is about the pop music charts. In other words, what 9-13 year olds listen to, they are the ones driving the pop charts. Last Kiss is right in their wheelhouse. Catchy and simple, and not much substance. The top 40 is jammed full with songs like that every week. Good rock songs sell out arenas, but they don't chart as high as the garbage in the top 40.

    Well, considering that "Last Kiss" started out as a fan club song that was released into the mainstream for a benefit CD...

    shows how charts mean nothing about quality and all about pop appeal

    I'd rather be Metallica with a number 9 than some boy band with a number and and long dead.

    nice picture of Metallica with Jason by the way
