No OutKast among artists of the decade? That seems like an oversight.

You guys put Black Eyed Peas and not Outkast on artists of the decade? Oh, and you neglected The Hold Steady, TV On The Radio, and Drive-By Truckers? Anyway, I’ll say my votes.

Album of the decade: Dear Science – TV On The Radio

Song of the decade: Stuck Between Stations – The Hold Steady

What about John Mayer? Helloooo.

Gosh, OutKast seems like so long ago (2003), but they certainly deserve to be in the conversation.

It’s going to be hard to dismiss U2, Radiohead, Jay Z, Eminem, and even Springsteen.

Wow.

Ummm, shouldn’t we wait until, say, 2011 to name the best music of the decade?

Outkast
RHCP
The Hold Steady
Ryan Adams
TV on the Radio

It’s criminal that these names aren’t on your list. Thank God you left off Britney Spears though.

Though I wouldn’t necessarily anticipate any of the following to win, it was tragic to leave off OutKast, Ryan Adams, Foo Fighters, The Killers, The Strokes, Beck, and The White Stripes (yes, I know Jack White is on the list!).

Guns N’ Roses – There Was A Time

No White Stripes on that list? Whoops.

Edit: Just saw the Jack White thing. Still.

“Hey Ya!” has been a lock for Single of the Decade for years now.

I cast my vote for DJ AM, i love his hits… especially the song he wrote called “MASH UP and SERATO beats Real Vinyl ANY DAY!”

Golden Age – TVotR
or
Encore (Grey Album) – Jay-Z
or
15 Step – Radiohead

I would’ve put Queens of the Stone Age on that list. I love Arcade Fire, but can a band with two albums really be the band of the decade?

My vote is for Yo-Yo Ma, his output of material this decade has been FANTASIC. From Classic Yo-Yo to Songs of Joy and Peace. What I really want to know is, does Yo-Yo walk the dog himself or pay someone to do it for him? Because we all know he goes around the world and I just don’t know when he would find the time to walk the pooch.

Green Day – “American Idiot”

Best album of the decade

eminem certainly should be on this list, marshall mathers lp and the eminem show are incredible albums. songs like the way i am, stan, till i collapse, lose yourself, white america.

Album: Elephant – White Stripes
Song: Beautiful Day – U2
Artist: Jack White

I’ll bet 100 bucks that RS picks U2. I mean, they rubber stamped a 5-star rating on their new album, so surely RS thinks they’re worthy of this title as well…

Uh, my vote is with Radiohead or Jay-Z.

The college dropout- kanye west is the best album

when you were young- the killers
best song of the decade

Isn’t this a year too soon?

“Living With War” – Neil Young

White Blood Cells, Wolfmother, OK Computer, Modern Times.

White Blood Cells, Wolfmother, This Is It, OK Computer, Modern Times.

White Blood Cells, Wolfmother, Is This It, OK Computer, Modern Times. ***

White Blood Cells, Wolfmother, Is This It, OK Computer, Modern Times.

ok computer came out in 1997

What about Green Day?

American Idiot is by far the best album of the decade!

How about Audioslave’s self titled debut? 5 solid singles on one album. That’s pretty impressive. Cornell is a god in any decade. Morello and Co. are unbelievable. A single song is a tough choice, but that album is unbelievable.

Jack White as artist of the decade without hesitation.

Album is hard to pick- Funeral, Kid A, In Rainbows, White Blood Cells, Elephant, Songs for the Deaf, Dear Science, Evil Urges, For Emma Forever Ago are all viable options

Song- Hey Ya!

green days american idiot, album of the decade for sure

What the hell….no Angus/AC DC…I`m reporting you guys to the authorities….this is BULL.

KILLERS for sure. they’ve churned our SO MANY catchy hits since their debut in what.. 2003?

Kelly Clarkson? Really? Is R.S. on the Idol payroll??? She’s good, but not even close to being ‘decade worthy.’ Thanks for the laugh!

White Stripes – Just don’t know what to do with my self !

CIVILIANS, by joe henry!!!!!

I AM A BIRD NOW. anthony & the johnsons

CONTINUUM, john mayer

by the way, last jonh mayer´s album sucks…

best song, i bet you look good on the dancefloor
best album, kid a

RED HOT CHILI’S
FOO FIGHTERS
PEARL JAM
THE RACOUNTEURS

easily the greatest band of the 2000s and 90s is the tragically hip all you americans should look up the greatest band of all time

Bands-Radiohead, Foo Fighters, QOTSA, U2, RHCP, White Stripes, and especially The Mars Volta

Rappers-Kanye West, Mos Def, Jay Z, Nas, Outcast

Album-Deloused in the Commatorium, The Mars Volta
Rock/Pop Album-Hail to the Thief, Radiohead
Rap Album-Late Registration, Kanye West
Song-Hey Ya-Outcast
Honorable Mention-Beautiful Day-U2
Artist-Jack White

KANYE WEST

SOUL-JA BOY TELL ‘EM

Killllllleeeerrrrrrssssssss

Album: Elephant
Song: Seven Nation Army
Artist: Jack White

I’m sure you guys would figure out a way to blow Bob Dylan like you always do.

My vote, U2 greatest band of 80’s, 90’s and 00’s, before that only The Beatles and Rolling Stones compare.

honorable mention – The Killers, Muse, Radiohead, Coldplay, Jay Z, Pearl Jam, and maybe the White Stripes

Where’s Britney Spears on the poll?!!!

She’s the most successful female artist of the decade. RIGGED.

Britney!

…oh wait she is not there. WTF Y’ALL!

Where they hell is Britney????

*the and srsly the Best selling female artist of the decade isn’t on this list FAIL rolling Stone FAIL

There must be a mistake because I don’t see Britney Spears as an option on the poll. You know… Britney Spears? The woman who’s been on 8 of your covers and is the best selling female artist of the decade?

The fact that Britney Spears is not even there says ( ONCE AGAIN ) that RS consists of nothing but pretetious pricks that can’t see past their own judgmental opinions. You may hate her but she is Pop Royalty and instead placing bands on there that will long be forgotten in 2011 makes this list not only a joke but a slap in the face of music lovers. Basically you are clueless what the music scene is about and have been so for the last few years. Get of your high horse morons.

Seriously, no offense…where is Britney Spears? She is successful, doesn’t matter if you like it or not. I’m not siding with anyone. She should be on the list. Be unbiased.

Where’s NIN? They sold out arenas and made valid arguments for why the old music-distribution models are obsolete while exploring ways to get the music to the fans right away without losing any profits.

All the best bands you don’t report on.

Band of Decade: Wilco
Album of Decade: The Midnight Organ Fight by Frightened Rabbit
Song of Decade: Sax Rhomer #1 by The Mountain Goats

Album: How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb by U2
Song: Vertigo by U2
Artist: U2

what the actual fck? where’s britney?

Where the fck is BRITNEY SPEARS???!!!

Yeah, Rolling Stone is so pretentious. That’s why they have Black Eyed Peas on here while ignoring typical Pitchfork fodder, even the universal stuff like Daft Punk and Outkast.

The Spears fanatics are laughable in this case. Not only is Rolling Stone unpretentious, it has no shame.

wtf? Why is Britney not on this list?

Dave Matthews Band

What a fucking garbage list.

Lol, what a shitty list

Why didn’t you include Britney Spears?

Where is Britney Spears?! :/

wow where the HELL are Dave Matthews Band, Britney Spears, and Nine Inch Nails? Fail RS. FAIL.

My god, how can you guy(s) seriously be complaining about Britney Spears not being on the list? She lip syncs live. This is a best artists list, not best entertainer.

BRITNEY. DUH!

Beyoncé

BEYONCÉ!!!!!

THE BEST!!!!

MADONNA!!!

Beyoncé The Beat of All

Where is Madonna on the list???

My thoughts on the best from 2000 – 2009 ………….

Best Band: Coldplay
Best Rock Band: The White Stripes
Best MC: (3-way tie) Eminem, Kanye West, Jay-Z
Best Hip Hop Group: Outkast
Best Indie Rock Band: Arcade Fire

Best artists and Bands from the 80s & 90s that had a great transition in this decade:
Radiohead, Foo Fighters, U2, NIN, Green Day, RHCP,
Metalica, Beck, Eminem, Jay-Z, Nas, Pearl Jam, Tool,
Weezer

Most Overated Band:
Nickelback

Most Overrated Trend:
Anything Emo

EMINEM EMINEM EMINEM!

And I agree why isn’t OutKast a nominee??

Britney Spears

YEAH, whos britney spears?

Where’s the Britney? o_o

Where is CHRISTINA AGUILERA?
THE BEST VOICE OF HER GENERATION.

Where is Britney Spears?? ¬¬

Where´s Christina Aguilera ?
It seens like Back to basics, the 2-cd most seeling album was nothing

Where’s BRITNEY SPEARS?!
SHE is the most searched, the most influential, the biggest-seller artist of this decade! It’s not fair!

Really that Miss Baby Jane isn´t on the pool ?
So, for me it´s not fair, and not right, Lady Gaga apears last year and she´s on
god bless you rolling stone, i love billboard magazine

britney, christina, where are the princess of pop?

hellooo ?!!! Lady Gaga isn´t, pay attention you bitch

tragically hip
dave matthews band
u2
foo fighters
pearl jam

best bands of the decade.

Out of that list, Radiohead.

But the artist that pretty much sums up this decade and was relevant in 2000 and is relevant today really is Britney.

sorry, but I think not even need a poll to see who is right? Britney Spears, is the artist of the decade.

This was a huge failure, botarem to Britney Spears. Independent poll or not, it is the artist of the decade, to be sure.

BRITNEY SHOULD WIN SHE IS EPIC!BRITNEY SHOULD WIN SHE IS EPIC!BRITNEY SHOULD WIN SHE IS EPIC!BRITNEY SHOULD WIN SHE IS EPIC!BRITNEY SHOULD WIN SHE IS EPIC!BRITNEY SHOULD WIN SHE IS EPIC!BRITNEY SHOULD WIN SHE IS EPIC!BRITNEY SHOULD WIN SHE IS EPIC!BRITNEY SHOULD WIN SHE IS EPIC!BRITNEY SHOULD WIN SHE IS EPIC!

Green Day out of those.

But where the hell is Britney Fucking Spears xD? She’s the best selling Female artist of the decade. She’s pretty much an icon too, like it or not. It’s weird how there’s Kelly and Beyonce but not Britney…

britney spears..artists of the decade and princess of pop!

Seriously. There was a mistake?
Britney Spears is in fact the artist of the decade! not a fan of her but her influence since 1999 has been undeniable. The only artist to debut with 6 albums in the first Hot 200 I think. The artist who sold more in the decade, everyone wanted to be her, so..

Britney Spears is the most artistically, musically, socially, and politically relevant artist/performer of the last 2000 years. Anyone who disagrees is simply ignorant and uncultured.

And Britney?
When it comes to artist of the decade it
was the most that stood out!

Why is Britney Spears not on this list?

Britney Spears

The True Artist of the Decade is Britney Spears,
Princess of Pop!

OMG! I DON’T BELIEVE IT!
WHERE IS BRITNEY SPEARS?
The youngest artist to have a star of the fame! it’s something to you?

BEST ALBUM: IN THE ZONE
SINGLE: TOXIC
ARTIST: BRITNEY SPEARS

PAY ATENTION BITCH. IT´S A CRIMINAL MISTAKE.

WHERE IS YOUR BRAIN?

Britney is not on the poll for “artist of the decade” because she is not an artist; she is not a musician, she is not a real singer, she is just a freaking dancer (and not a very good one anymore), and I guess that’s just not enough to be named the artist of the decade.

It’s Britney.

Where is Britney? Where is Christina?
Brit is the artist of the decade!! And Christina the voice of the decade!! Britney and Xtina ♥

just green day is the “artsit of decade” of this list

Oh my fucking god. What site is flooding this thread? Someone delete all Britney posts right now.

My favorite band of the decade is The Killers.

Day & Age is their best album, and Human is my favorite song

Album Title: Sam’s Town
Artist Name: The Killers

Song Title: When You Were Young
Artist Name: The Killers

umm..why don’t you guys have The Killers. you are stupid. clearly, The Killers are the best band of the decade.the deserve some credit. how could you not put them!!

BAND:The Killers
ALBUM:Sam’s Town-The Killers
SONG: Mr.Brightside-The Killers

I hate you Rolling Stone and the guy who gave Sam’s Town two stars.

good day.

THE KILLERS are the best band of the decade, along with U2, coldplay and Death cab for cutie as runner ups.

The Killers – Sam’s Town
or any of their albums really.

And where is The Killers?

streetcore for album of the decade!

The Britney Spears comments are incredibly dumb. Just because she sold so many CDs doesn’t mean anything. She’s only popular because she caters to what the mainstream music lover needs. her image is manufactured and based on sex appeal, not real talent. She has never made an artistic statement in her life. End of story

Btw: I’m expecting it to be a tossup between Bruce Springsteen and U2. Though I think Springsteen has the edge with the amazing records he’s put out.

My vote is for U2

u2 forever

u2

Best Album: How dismantle an Atomic Bomb U2
Best Song:Walk on U2
Artist Name: U2

My vote is for U2

Album: Elephant
Song: Seven Nation Army

Artist: Jack White —Without a single doubt, most deserving.

Where are The Killers on your list? C’mon RS, what the hell??

MIA? Really?

And Bob Dylan??? Thought this was a decade end list for the 2000’s not the 1960’s….

Song of Decade: Jesus of Suburbia
Artist of Decade: JAY-Z! (The president imitated him in a speech, o-KAY?)

u2 u2 u2 u2 u2 u2 u2 u2 u2 u2 u2
u2 u2 u2 u2 u2 u2 u2 u2 u2 u2 u2
u2 u2 u2 u2 u2 u2 u2 u2 u2 u2 u2

My vote is for U2

Best Album: All That You Can’t Leave Behind (U2)
Best Song: Breath (U2)
Artist Name: U2

Um, guys? It’s for what WE consider the greatest music of the decade, not the most popular. And if this horribly shitty decade is of any indication, popularity does not equal greatness. So go to hell with your Britney Spears.

what’s with all the retards not understanding when a decade starts and ends?

1)The Strokes- Is This it?

2) Arctic Monkeys – Whatever People Say I am, that’s What I am not

NME almost got it right

although any album by either of these bands is ace.

I can’t BELIEVE an act as monumental, iconic, definitive of this decade as Britney Spears has been left off the list. Like her or not, she is one of the biggest things to happen in this decade, and one of the most influential people in pop music. But whatever.

Where’s John Mayer? Norah Jones?

by the way,your review of the new
get yer ya-ya’s tells us nothing
about the added tracks.are they any good ?

U2 is the best band in the world, are musically million times better than Britney and Beyoncé. They go through the decades without losing quality, because the Stones entered the process of decay. U2 is a mega band the others are just good bands (Coldplay, Oasis, The Killers …) I make a mention of Simple Minds, who also had his moment of glory and still endures, with a good work, however, already without the glamor of old.

Thunder Road the best song ever

U2,U2,U2,U2,U2,U2,U2,U2,U2,U2. …..

U2

Green Day is THE artist of the decade. They released the best album “American Idiot.” The other 2 albums from 2000-2009 include Warning: and 21 Breakdown. These two rank pretty high in the pecking order as well. Blvd Broken Dreams (song of the decade, hey what else would it be?

I love U2 but i think people are over looking the fact that their music quality is (and i hate to say it) diminshing if i wanted to listen to music that goes nowhere i’d break out obscure Pink FLoyd!

Avril Lavigne Let Go
Os fas do Brasil estao votando em “Complicated”

Is far as this list I would have to pick Jack White hands down. He has to much talent to just be in one band. So with White Stripes, the Racontuers and Dead Wheather he has constantly made music thoughout the decade. But the most talented never win these things.
