I decided to use Mike and The Dog's listing because that made it easier for me. It's very subjective and like you said what is purely rock and roll and who would you say fits as something else. That's always up for debate. <BR/><BR/>I look at my own list and could make some more changes. But at least I've got two comments from it.<BR/><BR/>SeanSean G.

Where to start? I might ...Holy...freakin'...cow!! Where to start? I might have to do my own response to this over at "Exit 55." I applaud your in-depth analysis of these great musical acts. You can probably guess my first rebuttal - I'll take The Fab Four over The King at the top spot. <BR/><BR/>I wanted to find another band to argue the Aerosmith "greatest American band" tag, but so far, I've come up empty. And obviously, "rock" is such a wide-open label. Where do I fit Chuck Berry, for instance, who influenced literally everybody - especially The Beatles? Or Johnny Cash, or Ray Charles, or Little Richard, and on and on? To just tag them as "country" or "R&B" probably isn't fair.<BR/><BR/>It just gets tougher from there. Simon & Garfunkel? Guns 'n' Roses? The Clash? The Police? The Eagles? I'm not even saying some of these will be in my top-25, but they're all part of the conversation.<BR/><BR/>The Heart of Rock and Roll is still beating!Rob Adamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11358597853376411517noreply@blogger.com
