Apparently it's Metal month on VH1 and they're airing a show called The 40 Greatest Metal Songs. I looked at the list, and it's definitley got that adult-contemporary-VH1 flavor. http://www.vh1.com/shows/dyn/the_greatest/103447/episode_this_list.jhtml I think Dave will agree that like many people, VH1 has obviously confused Hard Rock with Metal. |

It is, as one would suspect, ROCK! Duh! So, "I Wanna Rock" cannot be on a best of metal list. This is not even an arguable point, folks. It's very simple. | ||

| Wifey May 4, 2006 02:22 PM PDT  Rock 101 was talking about the top 10 this morning so they must have gotten the list already. Suffice it to say, several of them were as horrified as I am to see Guns N Roses at Number 2! I don't want to spoil the laughs for the rest of the list... so you'll just have to wait until it's on the show. Honey, setup the TiVo! | ||

| Dave May 4, 2006 01:24 PM PDT Kristy is 100% correct. Guns n' Roses, for example, have no place on a Heavy Metal list. Especially "Paradise City". There are a few genuinely metal entries, but most are woefully out of place on a best of metal list. Of course, most VH1 viewers would lose their minds if they listened to Opeth, At the Gates, In Flames, Morbid Angel, and so on. I'm awaiting the top tracks, cuz I think it'll be good for a laugh. | ||
