i just saw that....12 place for pearl jam..(certainly not band's greatest poster if you are asking me..)
also 9 place....a poster from the angry days.. ''Not a bad way to spend a New Year's Eve and a grunge snapshot if there ever was one, this gig took place before John Frusciante left the Peppers and Kurt Cobain left the building, and back when Pearl Jam could still reasonably be scheduled as a third-on-the-bill act.''

    Thumbs down on #2 Kozik's Pennywise. How the hell did that even make the list?

    *edit: I love that PJ poster, have always thought it was very underrated.

    that list sucked... how can anyone say one poster is better than another? it is all art... if I made the list, it would have been EMEKs 25 best posters... maybe with a Klausen, Banksy, Danger in there... but it's all a matter of personal taste!

    that list did indeed suck. there are so many better ones than those. the radiohead one and the pennywise are cool, along with the beatles, but not the coolest EVER. cmon.

    I've got to get that Ben Harper poster! It's cool, but it'll probably be way out of my budget on eBay. I love that PJ poster. Not their best, but still a great poster. I actually own that Grateful Dead poster. One of my favorites by them. This isn't a bad list, but there were certainly some more from those psychedelic San Francisco era poster artists that should be in there. Thanks anyway!
    Rock on!

    Doubtful. But I've had an original Led Zep avocado handbill forever. It's in a drawer somewhere.
    The kids of today should defend themselves against the Seventies Nineties.
