Controversial list on Top 10 Tech-Savvy Rockers
BusinessWeek has published an article online citing the ten most tech-savvy rock stars. While the list has some interesting entries to real question is, is this a marketing ploy to promote these bands and the products they use or does the author really think that endorsing a tech product makes them the most tech savvy.

- Nine Inch Nails (NIN)
- Harvey Danger
- Weezer
- more ... ?
If you can, when you submit a name try to give a link to a story as reasoning why that person should be included.
