James Shotwell Kerrang! has a history of breaking bands and defining classics. However, their latest list has us a bit worried. The magazine recently asked readers to choose the “most influential rock groups of the last 30 years” and the results have left us shaking our heads in disappointment. While some greats made the list, many were forgotten (specifically: Nirvana and Radiohead). Check out the top 10 below and let us know who you would pick by leaving a message in the comments.
10. Foo Fighters
9. Ozzy Osbourne
8. Blink-182
7. Bullet For My Valentine
6. Linkin Park
5. My Chemical Romance
4. Slipknot
3. Iron Maiden
2. Green Day
1. Metallica

Um… this is the most messed up list I have ever seen.
Tthe fact that Iron Maiden is #3 behind Green Day and Metallica is utterly disgusting…
Guns and Roses
Nirvana (should be ranked #1 possibly #2 behind metallica)
Motley Crew
Judas Priest
Radiohead
Soundgarden…
this is coming from someone who likes the newer age rock as well… this list is absolutely ridiculous
