Because they're the gods of psychedelic jazz-rock, and because Robert Wyatt, Kevin Ayers, Daevid Allen and Hugh Hopper are all genius!

They aren't the best but my god they belong somewhere among the best. I saw Nickleback,and a lot of other garbage music but no DEFTONES!

Horslips - ah yes - one of the the best things about growing up in Ireland during the 70s. Three suberb CDs - The TĂ¡in, Celtic Symphony - Book of Invasions, Aliens. Check 'em out - you won't be disappointed. Horslips should have been the best Irish band (followed by Thin Lizzy) - much, much better than 'Three Prats and a Drummer' (aka U2).

Pioneering punk-rock group from the late 80s and 90s, often imitated by other more famous bands. Patented the "soft-loud, jangly" sound with precise drum and guitar work. Helped inspire two entire genres of music, hardcore (aka "straight-edge") and "emo" (aka "emo-core"), terms that they didn't use. Highly independent and extremely political, refused to do business with corporate-owned media.
Comments:
Wait, so MTV doesn't count as corporate-owned media? lol. Come on. They didn't refuse to do business with corporations, they turned down some major label offers because they were loyal. Sure, they never ripped-off their fans, praise them for that, don't make them out to be something their not.

they are the first Asian band that included in the desert rock festival in Dubai, along side with korn, muse, killswitch engage, and as i lay dying. meaning the caliber of slapshock are equal to those other band. even though the audience never heard band before. they're slamming and starting to fill the sounds as the band perform their songs.

I think nickelback is one of the best bands that have ever put their foot on stage, and common, they sound awesome with some of my favorite songs being: Gotta be sombody, figured you out, next go round, i dont have, savin' me and a bunch more... nickelback rocks :).
Comments:
There is more to it than sound. Take the "best" sound you can find, and play it over and over, you get something about a boring as Nickelback.
I refuse to believe that Nickelback could have possibly made top 100. It just can't be happening.
Im glad I could help, but I feel like disturbed is even worse
I agree with Bucky, and am happy to see Nickelback in their proper place on this list. However, I think they should have less than -100 points. I'll fix that.
