Basically I didn't start checking out the indie labels until mid stream, and as a result, I ended up compiling a long list of bands that were too late to fit on the list. I also didn't do a very good job of capturing the harder end of the genre by today's standards, too many old school bands.

As for polarizing, the countdown was just for fun, I didn't actually think anyone would follow along, so Nirvana was an easy way to avoid mumbling when I noticed the view count was spiking.

I just went with my ear, if I didn't, most of the metalcore & melodic hardcore bands would have been eradicated from the list. You would be surprised at how much I held my nose, it was not my personal top 10.
I loved the list! This has easily been one of my favorite threads of the year. I may not have agreed with every pick, but that's to be expected, it's not my list after all. And even though I teased you a little about the Nirvana pick, the fact is that you demonstrated so much knowledge throughout the thread that I have nothing but respect for your opinions.
