The Beasties made it! If they hadn't, I'm tellin' y'all it would've been a sabotage!

 

 

 

That Elvis one took nearly an hour by itself.

 

Too many hits in his discography.

 

The Beatles one is going to kill me, I'm sure.

Christ, Alice in Chains beat both Pearl Jam and Soundgarden?

Hell yes

Spoiled like yogurt.

Wow, then I guess I won't b**** about you skipping the '61-66 Hollywood years and all the craptacular Paramount films.

 

Thanks for including the "27 Club" factoid for Morrison in the doors write-up. Peter Ham of Badfinger, Pigpen from the Grateful Dead, and Chris Bell of Big Star also all cached it in at 27. There was a rock critic a while back who looked at it statistically and it's uncanny how many rockers died at 27.

I was never a big fan of Alice in Chains, but their Unplugged album is amongst the best of any to come out of that series.

AIC was the most "metal" of the three, so their higher rank works for me.

who is elvis?

 

His tour comes to the US this May. His new CD, Secret, Profane, and Sugarcane is decent and if you have not heard his recent stuff, you will be surprised.

He almost made my list.

Elvis Costello is awesome. He didn't make my list either, but I certainly considered him.

 

I'm kind of surprised the Doors were only on 3 lists, but at least they made it!

The Doors?? What is this, 1991????

Elvis?? What is this, 1956???

I'm wondering now if Chuck Berry is gonna make the list. And the Drifters...and the Platters....and the Coasters....Dion and the Belmonts...

 

I'm just kidding. I didn't vote for him but I think it's kinda cool that the King made the list. Now if James Brown the other king makes it we're all set.

Righteous Brothers . . . Otis Day . . . Buckinghams . . . Otis Redding . . .

I'm loving the s*** out of these write-ups.

I find the drama of these bands, especially those that were formed back in the 60's and 70's, incredibly fascinating.

 

Thanks so much for doing this, Jeremy.

you do know Otis Day was a fictional character, right?

I appreciate the thanks in putting it together. But someone with more music history knowledge than me penned the articles.

Woo, the Kinks! Nice to see them get into the top 20

but I saw him at Snugfest at Lake Beverly

Another band I started to add, then dropped because I figured I'd be the only one to have them on my list. If the Moody Blues are on here later, or a few Southern Rock bands I thought of and dropped, I will be kicking myself even harder. And damn, did I forget ELO?

I really love "Catch Me Now I'm Falling."

I saw the Kinks live about a half-dozen times, and they were all great shows.

I felt the same about Paul Revere and the Raiders and The Buckinghams. They would have been late on my list (15-20) anyways, and at that point it wouldn't matter.
