August 6, 200618 yr WHAT A $h!t LIST. TIS ALL minus britney, Britney was a HELL lot more influential then frickin Kurt Cobain...FFS. Are you out of your mind? :wacko:
August 6, 200618 yr Excuse me, but to be fair, Britney has hardly had the impact that Kurt Cobain had! To suggest otherwise is ridiculous! :rolleyes:
August 7, 200618 yr So what has Britney done that's made her have a bigger impact than Kurt Cobain? :D
August 7, 200618 yr Well maybe Kurt Cobain, but still she has made more of an impact then atleast 5 people above her.
August 7, 200618 yr hmmm should be in this order: 1. Kurt Cobain - Nirvana are the most influential band since The Beatles no doubt about it. 2 Michael Jackson 3. Bono 4. Madonna 5. Prince 6. Pete Doherty - Should really be Pete Doherty / Carl Bârat but the majority of all the indie bands are heavily influenced by The Libertines and without them we wouldn't have many bands we have today. 7. Eminem - Probably the biggest artist of the 20th Century so far 8. Britney Spears - She was HUGE and was the big icon for many kids and will be remembered for sure so this is around the right position. 9. Kylie Minogue - The ULTIMATE icon. 10. Beyonce Knowles 11. Sir Elton John 12. Robbie Williams 13. Christina Aguilera 14. Justin Timberlake 15. Snoop Dogg So where are Liam and Noel Gallagher, Morrissey and Julian Casablancas then? <_<
