I'm just saying I won't listen to any of it because I just don't "get" any of them. I would prefer silence over listening to any of those groups.

I can understand. There are plenty of things over which I prefer silence

We don't care for Justin Beiber and Miley Cyrus.

What could they possibly have contributed to popular music ??

No offense, Andy, but if you're 41, the Beatles songs you were hearing on the radio were 10-15 years old by the time you were hearing them (I'm assuming late 70's by the time you were listening). They should have seemed a little dated. Now, if you were listening as these songs were appearing for the first time, then you'd understand what Rev is talking about.
It was inventive stuff that opened doors and challenged others to keep up.

None taken, that's what I'm asking. What am I missing?

I am a huge Rush fan, and to even have them included on this list, is a huge honor if you ask me. Yes, I do understand you don't necessarily like them. I have honestly never even thought of them in this league, and they are my all time favorite band.
