First of all I could argue that many of these bands are NOT hard rock or metal. Also how the hell did Nickelback get #1? And how did Hollywood Undead get up there twice? They're like cockroaches! They never die (from my experience on Jelli).

I would like to nominate AFI Crash Love or any of their CDs to be on that list.

Maybe they should have waited until after Christmas to do this list, since I am asking for 2 AFI CDs :)

I only have 4 of those 50 CDs.
