They are not taking it into consideration because it really does not matter. They can have a million awards, and top 10 singles, albums, but if no one on here likes them, then they will not get the ratings.

Are you saying I should rate everyone a 10, because alot of these bands and artists deserve alot better then what they got if all thier accomplishments are taken into account.

For example, Skippord, as far as I know, is a metal fan, who doesn't like rap/hip hop that much. As he does not rate them high, the opposite, Krispy, who obviously enjoys it, but rock and metal not as much.

Purely based on achievements, and not each individuals personal rating of the person, or band, with or without taking achievements taken into consideration, would make this whole thing pointless, as everyone would be ranked high 90's.

I did not bitch that Metallica only got a 75, I believe it should be higher, but it could have been much lower, due to the fact that Metallica has done the Napster thing, and last few albums are pretty

Now, if everyone who listens to music were to vote, the list would be crazy different.

In short.

Shut Up.
