Nice list, no Rolling Stones, but a great list anyway.
Queen (with Freddie!)
Dire Straits
Beatles
Wearwolves of London #1??? Come on!
Ahh geez...you missed Stevie Ray Vaughan. AND Buddy guy. AND Muddy Waters. AND the Funk Brothers. Good job on naming all those bands and everything, but any blues player is gonna slap you in the face.
I like your funniness, though. Come check out my blog, it might make you laugh, too.
pretty good except rancid and blink 182 don't belong.missing a few also.
First off, this is easily the most people that have ever posted on anything I've writen, which is awesome. Now as for your comments
Chumly:
Perhaps not, but Rolling Stone has to please everyone, I only worry about me.
Bart:
Are you from England or something? By the way I do not feel the need to stipulate Queen (with Freddie) because without Freddie they are not Queen. Their still probably a lot better than most of the crap out their, but its not Queen
Inicial:
Who?
Big Ear:
I assure you that is not his best song. Acctually it is not among my 30 favorite songs of his. Go out and download (legally of course) the song "I Was in the House When the House Burned Down" and see if you have the same complaint. Warren Zevon is a genius, my hero, and the greatest singer/song writer of this or any generation.
Queen Ant:
My appoligies but I can't get into jazz. It's not that I dislike it, it just all sounds the same to me. I can't rank jazz songs any more profieciently than I can rank brands of ketchup. In my mind ketchup is ketchup and jazz is jazz. This may be a good enough point for me to make an entire post out of this some time.
Aubana:
Rancid is probobly the most underrated punk band of all time, all because they got together in the wrong decade. Had they gotton together 20 years earlier they could have been added as number for to the list of punk bands people who don't like punk have heard of behind Ramones, Clash, Sex Pistols. Also, And Out Come the Wolves is in my top 5 albums of all time.
Well that was fun, I hope people continue to post on my blog for a change.
Oh, and I forgot to mention:
yeah I know Blink 182 shouldn't be there. But they have two songs I like an awful lot (Damnit and their cover of Dancing With Myself)
and a long with a couple hundred points from a song way down the list they managed to crack the top 100. At least their pretty low though. What really upsets me is how high offspring is ranked. I mean top 10, come on! But I own 4 of their CDs and actually like 3 of them a lot. If a band has a ton of good songs I like a lot they do well on the list... what can I say?
