Woah, man! It’s like time keeps on slippin, slippin, slippin, into the future.  

Underexplained comment: whoever came up with this list is a fucking moron.

I just noticed that Yes and Rush are included in this list and THEY FUCKING SUCK TOO

Wow. I may be the only person you’ve heard of with a Fleetwood Mac tattoo, I’ve seen them live multiple times, have all the records, etc.... but you have them ranked even higher than I do?

I suppose that’s fair. I was kind of shocked by your assertion that the team name “doesn’t even really bother the people who are purportedly being insulted,” but rather than stay in my Deadspin echo chamber mindset and fire back a response accordingly, I decided to try to refute your claim with the ole’ Google…

Does Talking Heads count? I would understand if the answer is no, but it’s rock from the late 70s/early 80s and I like them. I feel like they should count and be above Billy Joel (who is self obsessed toilet water).

This list is perfect 👏 👏 👏

I can come to the office and blast Eliminator and Out of the Blue while looking sternly into everyone’s eyes if that is necessary.

1926, they specifically hired an elderly man so they could always claim to appeal across generations. He's the one who always suggests getting hit by a bus.

Bob Seager- the Bruce of Michigan

Say what you will about the music, but Billy Joel is a fucking genius. He hasn’t released an album since 1993, so he has no embarrassing late career stuff for people to hate (I’m ignoring the weird classical album, which is still nearly 20 years old). He plays approximately 10 shows a year, all a designated drive from…

The most classic rock is igneous.

What year was the oldest staff member involved in this list born?

I appreciate your support, but you are wrong. Pink Floyd and the Who are good. I stand by my statement (which is unassailable) that STEELY DAN SUCKS SHIT.

Alright, let me just say this once so everyone knows the truth: just because something is complex and difficult, doesn’t mean it sounds good. I guess what I’m trying to say is that STEELY DAN SUCKS SHIT

Not to open a can of worms on the whole gun control debate, but should we really be selling guns to blind people?

That is not technically true. Talking about violence and threats are not protected speech - and in fact, many laws exist prohibiting such talk. He might skirt some of them since he is making fairly vague threats, but just because he hasn’t started shooting people, it is not legal to say you are going to get a gun and…

Until he acts on it and hurts someone, he most definitely is allowed to have that opinion. Fortunately for everyone around him, he’s stated that opinion out loud and, if the impeachment occurs, the authorities can be watching him for any violent outbursts.

He’d be fighting on behalf of a tyrannical despot, otherwise agreed.
