watched both pj and Springsteen last year and pj was so much better. Wierd list, arcade Fire havnt toured this yrar even

Pearl Jam is the best live band I've ever seen.

Best live moment for me was Kasabian's Lost Souls Forever in Poland 2010, when the audience kept on singing several minutes after the band had left the stage.

A few on there that haven't toured properly for a while.

Current world tours,then it is missing Iron Maiden.

I wasn't really impressed with Pearl Jam when I saw them.

Some great acts on there, but the list as a whole is total bullshit, just a list of people who play in stadiums and arenas.

Why have I never really heard any of My Morning Jacket? They're meant to be this super-cool, amazing band - yet I couldn't name a single song. They must be one of those bands which are massive in the States.

Am I missing much?

This list is stupid. RHCP and U2 over Nick Cave and Patti Smith? And Springsteen at the top is laughable. I've never been so bored at a gig as I was at his Glastonbury set. Granted I'm not a fan but surely a good live act crosses over?

Pleased to see The National on the list too as seeing them for the first time in November

[Pilgrim S]

They've obviously not seen Portishead recently. Also PJ Harvey has been one of the best and most consistent acts I've ever seen over the years.

There's plenty of good stuff on the list though.

Also, how the fuck are Leonard Cohen and Nick Cave 26 and 27? FFS! They should both be in the top 10 at least!

And what about The Wurzels, Chas and Dave and Black Lace? I thought Rolling Stone were supposed to know a bit about music?

Its a very predictable American list with little imagination and containing all the usual suspects, not to mention patronising tokenism smattered throughout.

Red Hot Chilli Peppers.......really?

[Ruwise]

Based on the last year of gigs I've seen I would expect to see John Grant and Hot Chip in there.

This. I can guarantee that no-one leaves a Cohen gig thinking "That was good, but nothing like My Morning Jacket"
