There are some acts in the list that just don't belong. And I'm not saying this because I don't like their musical output but rather because it's just wrong to have them there.
Here is the list and my comments.

AC/DC OK
Aerosmith OK
Alice in Chains OK (I'm not a fan but I understand their impact)
Backstreet Boys (this is NOT even a band)
Beastie Boys (not familiar, but they seemed to be pretty influential so OK)
Blink-182 (nope I don't think they offer anything more original than what Green Day already produced)
Bush (This band didn't even belong to the top 5 grunge acts: Nirvana, PJ, AIC, Soundgarden, Pumpkins, so no)
Bon Jovi OK
Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band OK
The Cars (no, I wouldn't put them in even though I'm a fan of their hits)
The Clash OK
The Cure OK
Dave Matthews Band OK
Depeche Mode OK
Foo Fighters (not yet)
Fugees (not familiar with their works)
Goo Goo Dolls (not yet)
Green Day OK
Guns N Roses OK (although I think Bon Jovi is more consistent than them in producing albums)
KISS OK
Korn OK
Limp Bizkit (nope, not original at all, unlike Korn)
Linkin Park (nope or at least not yet)
Metallica OK
NIN OK
Nirvana OK
N Sync (this is NOT a band)
Oasis (what about the Beatles anyone???)
Pearl Jam OK
Phish OK
The Police OK
Radiohead (not familiar)
The Ramones OK
Red Hot Chili Peppers OK
R.E.M. OK
The Replacements (not familiar)
The Rolling Stones OK
Smashing Pumpkins OK
The Smiths (not familiar)
Stone Temple Pilots OK
Soundgarden OK
U2 OK
Van Halen OK
ZZ Top OK

I'd put Def Leppard, Motley Crue, Led Zeppelin, Sabbath and Purple in.

So would I, along with
Zappa (or rather the Mothers Of Creations)
Yes
E.L.P
The Scorpions
Dio
Whitesnake
Genesis (early years-inc first few exGabrial)
Free
Cream
Fleetwood Mac (Peter Green's)
The Nice
U.F.O
Iron Maiden
e.t.c e.t.c.

Basically, my list would litteraly include Van Halen and Bon Jovi from theirs!

Although it did say past 22 years....I'm nearly 100% sure that AC/DC, Aerosmith, Van Halen have been going longer than this, as I know them all to be 70's bands, so I'm guessing this poll is rubish in any case. But that would explain why four key rock bands were left out
