WHAT? Kurt Cobain is DEAD? WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN?

krastian · 06.03.2006, 11:59 PM

^He was in a horrible car accident in 1997.

HaydenAsche · 06.04.2006, 12:00 AM

Damn! He got pwnt!

Everyneurotic · 06.04.2006, 12:01 AM

they should define songwriter, what's the difference between a real, all around songwriter and a lyricist, arranger, composer, etc.?

because some of the people in their are good in one of those areas but suck on others and that doesn't make them good songwriters, now does it?

SolidZach · 06.04.2006, 12:02 AM

Bob Dylan sounds like and idiot sometimes...

Man he needs to get his head together and realize how much money he could be making if he toured......it doesn't even have to be a big arena tour either.

finding nobody · 06.04.2006, 02:23 AM

i know! he could just charge people like 5 bucks to get urinated or deficated on

i read a really cool story about how he was alive and hanging out in a k-mart with a shaved head and a notebook that said 'my vomit' on the from. my vomit sounds very kurt

Shit, I didn't see that, cause I forgot about his real name

sugar kane101 · 06.07.2006, 02:16 PM

Patti Smith should have been higher. But the list could have been alot worse. As a journalists opinion goes it wasn't that bad. What is Paste magazine?

atari 2600 · 06.08.2006, 05:16 AM

Where's Iggy?

Where is David Lowery?

Where is Kate Bush?

Where is Laurie Anderson?

Are you sure the list wasn't from Paste Eater magazine?

The placement of the following three in the forties renders the whole list suspect, although, yeah, it could have been worse.

41. Ray Davies (he's number two or number one)
44. Al Green (easily in the top 20)
46. David Byrne (easily in the top 10)

---

David Bowie & Lou Reed should be higher on the list.

---

65. Bill Mallonee (used to live next door to me once - originally from Athens band Vigilantes of Love)

91. Drive-By Truckers
It's cool that Patterson Hood gets a mention although there's no love for Andrew Reiger of Elf Power, or even Jeff Mangum, which is a bummer.

---

The list makes no mention of Syd Barrett although Pink Floyd is listed. The listmakers probably think "Learning to Fly" is more well-written than "Arnold Layne".

bill callahan should probably....oh who cares about some list?
