[AlizéeInspired]

I was flipping through the channels on the ol' television earlier and seen Vh1's 100 Greatest Artists of All Time was on.

Of course, I disagree with a lot of them but I also agree with a lot of them as well. It's all opinion and what one's taste in music is really.

So I was wondering what some of your thoughts on the list would be. What or who do you like or agree with? What or who don't you like or agree with? Are there other artists you think should have made this list and where do you think they deserve to be?
