They left out some good bands...
What about
:
Alice In Chains
Tool
Hendrix
Elvis
Credence Clearwater Revival
Smashing Pumpkins
I understanding with the reasoning for Pearl Jam at #1. Timeless, original, soulful, influential classics album after album.

Their records sell ... "... because they're good, not because they've been hyped to death by the media," McNabb added.

To put it in perspective, Pearl Jam's debut album
Ten sold 10 million albums, more than 3 times what Nirvana's
Nevermind did. About half the songs on the album are standards today.

There have been scores of imitators. "How many Pearl Jam/Eddie Vedder knockoffs have invaded rock radio since Ten?" asked Scott Jordan, another Atlanta fan.

No band sounded like Pearl Jam before Pearl Jam. So many did after them. Their influence is crystal clear.
