I like the singing about sex and rock and roll, I can stand behind that. I guess I find even their acoustic sound "hard". It's just not as "pretty" as I super-love. It's hard to explain it, because it's kind of visceral, but it's mainly the sound of the band, the guitar, the music - it has nothing to do with the image or anything else, as i didn't know their image, ever, before i heard them. And i really did grow up hearing them (mostly the radio songs) as i was born in '74. Ok, to make a comparison, I really liked Simon and Garfunkel all the time i was growing up. See how pretty they are, comparitively? sorry, that's the best i can explain it at this very moment, when i should be doing homework, yet somehow ambition and furthering the point of my life is less interesting than randomly talking about Led. ahh, you know how it is...plus, Jimmy Carter is on Letterman...it's "Amber's squirrel mind" at it's worse... ok, talk to you tomorrow, or whenever...

Oh yeah, Woohoo for the Mac being at 10! If it were my list, they'd be higher, but that's because I don't like the Beatles or Bruce or the Stones (not sure where they were on the list, though). Carol |

Let me get this straight. Boyz II Men are on that list and Blondie is nowhere to be found? One of the most influential bands in music was left off in favor of Boyz II Men?
What's the world coming to?

Backstreet boys higher than ABBA and Police???
Dire Straits higher than Bee Gees and Police?? yeah, sure! " sales of their biggest album, the scale of their biggest headlining show and the total number of weeks spent on the UK album chart." |

What a bullsh*t list. Honestly comparing Beatles sales figs to those of now is absurd, as is concert sales...You just can't compare eras like that, it's like comparing sports figures...
Now if they compared total album sales, sales $$ adjusted for inflation etc, then I might care, but otherwise... Oh and in the US the Beatles still lead total album sales, above even Elvis, and I'm pretty sure that they have ALL of thier major albums in the Top 100/50 albums of ALL time... But anyways, the name of the list is absurd, it allows the one hit wonders to get a high placing by only counting one album and gives more advantage to recent bands with the allowence for larger concert venues... Oh, well, yay for the Mac for making top 10. My three... 1Beatles 2Stones 3Zep Oh and Amber if you want a "pretty" Zep song try "Going to California", it's the song that made me like Zep, "Over The Hills and Far Away" and "That's the Way" are also a bit softer...but Zep isn't really soft anyways.

I would put Led Zep at #1 except for the fact that their lyrics stink half the time. Other than that, they are a flawless band.
So, with that said, F.M. should be #1, at least in my mind, but I understand why they're not. The Beatles take it every time, why? I have no clue. Someone please explain it to me without mentioning "album sales" because that means nothing to me.

The Eagles (Lyin' Eyes is my fave song, but I'm not a huge fan) Oasis (Haven't heard lots, but I love Wonderwall) Bon Jovi (Have their greatest hits) Genesis (Have their greatest hits) Bee Gees (was obsessed with the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack as a kid) Backstreet Boys (love them!) The Carpenters (grew up listening to them thanks to my dad) Journey (Have their greatest hits) Spice Girls (love those gals) Def Leppard (Photograph is greatness!) Aerosmith (Dream On rules and I like some of their other stuff too) Wham! (George is one of my fave singers) 'N Sync (love them too, but BSB is my fave of the two) Duran Duran (Have their greatest hits and they still have it!) Erasure (Have their greatest hits) The Shadows (Not that familiar with their work, but seteca is filling me in) Boyz II Men (Loved their debut album)

I agree with the first three even if not in that order. Mine:
1. Rolling Stones 2.Led Zeppelin 3. Pink Floyd ...then: 4. Beatles 5. Fleetwood Mac But this list for the rest is surreal. Where are Sly And The Family Stone? The Who? The Clash? The Cure? The Smiths? (a lot of "The" groups left out..) I agree about the Spice Girls but Backstreet Boys, Hootie And The Blowfish and Wet Wet Wet are so depressing to me Romy
