Top hits, #1's have limited band input, it's all management, production and promotion. That is a fact, greenday did nothing new, that already had been done for 20 years. The rx is funny as for music, cattle to the slaughter, very few people here have a clue to original music.

Story from the Daily News about heavy metal bands getting snubbed again:

Iron Maiden, Deep Purple, and Judas Priest all not in...but Green Day is. Wow!
Not a surprise to me. Green Day is one of the most successful punk bands of all time, up there with The Clash, The Sex Pistols, and The Ramones, as far as being a success. I feel for you metal heads, but Judas Priest, and Iron Maiden, are not in the top as far as successful metal bands go. As a fan of Punk, I'd rather listen to Bad Religion, NOFX, or the Misfits, over any of those in the RRHOF, but that's how it goes. Blink 182 will get in before any of those bands do.
