The Strokes make the top 50 best American Rock Bands of all Time List. DUH!

Hello readers,
It comes as no surprise that Gibson.com would pick the Strokes on their 'Top 50 best American Rock Bands of All Time' list. They made #43, impressive (I would've put them down as #1 but I didn't make the list.)
See the whole list here

They included a nice little description too:
If the music biz had a machine to manufacture millennial boho NYC guitar hipsters, it would undoubtedly spit out The Strokes. Yet the quintet are definitely for real: Fab Moretti has played drums since he was five, Albert Hammond Jr.’s father was a songwriter of note, Nick Valensi can be a dazzling soloist. Their debut Is This It (2001) is the must-have album, but The Strokes’ new wave smarts and intricate guitar interplay still seduce – with the eclectic brew of 2011’s Angles hitting dizzy heights. – Michael Leonard

I couldn't agree more Michael.
