For one, I think anytime you note a "low point" for anything, there's got to be a threshold of people that recall the moment. And since there's not a lot that can recall some of the more recent entries here (esp. #1), this list has some serious flaws.

Clearly, there are three entries that can argue for #1: KISS going disco, Pat Boone crooning some Dio, and Jethro Tull being considered heavy metal by anyone on the face of the earth. It's arguable, I think, which of those goes in what order. But I'd have to personally rank Jethro Tull at the bottom of the barrel, with KISS's dance moves closely behind.

After that, this list because rather specious ... how many people really knew about Kip Winger taking ballet classes as opposed to those who count themselves disappointed by Gary Cherone's tenure at the front of Van Halen? Clearly, VH3 has to be in the bottom 5 of any list.

Entries like "Nelson," I can understand ... but Europe? You gotta be kidding me. Once they dumped the original guitarist for Kee Marcello, they were clearly a force that deserved more attention. #32, in particular, grates with me as I fail to see how that's a low point. I'm fairly sure that many would consider the theme song to 7th Heaven far superior to "Turn Up the Radio," anyway. I wouldn't, but I would note that Autograph's strongest points were it's catchy, radio-friendly songwriting as well as some expert two-hand-tapping guitar solos by Steve Lynch. Something missed with regards to Ronnie Lee Keel's move to country, however, is that he still packs a solid rock guitarist in the band, making the combination something of a curiosity for even diehard metalheads. As far as the divas and wannabes covering metal classics, the only one I recall is one that I do think deserves to be somewhere in the 30-40 range is Celine singing "You Shook Me." Clearly, the content was not self-evident to the handlers of that show, it was the initial VH1 Divas show ... and it was Celine freakin Dione singing AC/DC.

Items they may have missed (in no particular order) ...

• Pretty Boy Floyd (I add this as a fan)
• Beavis & Butthead (c'mon, this utterly killed the poppier bands out there)
• Vinne Vincent Invasion and/or Yngwie J. Malmsteen (again ... as a fan)
• P.M.R.C. (the absence of this entry seriously discredits VH1 as any source of music info)
• Billy Idol on Letterman (who could forget a stoned-out Idol regaling Dave with the various drugs given names of his songs ... proudly)
• Guns N Roses' attempted comeback (if you want something relatively recent)
• Metallica seeing therapists (great movie, but some things speak for themselves in terms of lameness)
