Já, ég er nokkuð viss um að margir hristi hausinn yfir þessum lista (eins og flestum listum reyndar), en ætli þessi sýni ekki líka ágætlega þá undarlegu hálfkæringsstefnu sem X-ið hefur í tónlistarvali sínu. Í sæti 100 er hið frábæra lag Placeb0 ‘Twenty Years’ á meðan að flippið ‘Word up’ með Korn er næstum 30 sætum ofar. Beastie Boys eru í 5. sæti með eitt slakasta lag sitt í áraraðir á meðan ‘On a mission’ Jam Mayen drengja húkir í 18. sæti.
Eins og þeir segja í San Francisco; “Flame on dude!”
