the clash didnt make either of your lists?
One of the most influential bands of all time in my eyes, in the same categorie as Led Zepplin or Black Sabbath, so many bands have them to thank.

You know, it's almost impossible to do this when you were practically born yesterday (1989). Since I'm not really into much older stuff (especially not 70s), I can't possibly pick just 5 artists from the 90s and the 00s. All of my music knowledge falls into those two decades! :\ Maybe in 30 years...
