I was happy to see Tom Waits there at all, but I can't imagine he got there by popular vote. Editor must have sneaked him in.

His fan base is an opressed minority. Their going to vote for him regardless of the the catagory is for, their pissed he's undersold.
As for the list, Rolling Stone still wants to pull away from bands they precieve as being played in Pick-up Trucks.
As Sam accuratly pointed out, RS is still fighting for civil rights, voting for McGovern, and reversing their decisions. The reporting is decent, but their lists are making up for past sins.
