GtrPlyr Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 funkadelic/parliament Funkadelic should have been in the top 10, sadly didn't even make that list. I didn't see Pavement on the list either, would have put them on there as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
deepseacatfish Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 Glad to see Wilco on the list, but they really should have beat out the Eagles, I mean come on. Hotel Arizona > Hotel California. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Moss Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 my alternate top 10, based on personal preference and perceived influence (in no particular order...can't be arsed to spend too much time thinking about it)...for this list i am not putting in 'person x and y band' like springsteen or petty...pretty arbitrary decision i know... jefferson airplanesonic youthbyrdsblack flagREMnirvanafunkadelic/parliamentstoogesCCRguided by voices That's a much better list, just need to shoe horn The Replacements in there somewhere.

u2roolz Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 I'm just happy that Kiss didn't make their stupid list.Oops! OK. Just noticed that I skipped over the high 20s. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
W(TF) Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 Velvets, Grateful Dead and CCR should all be MUCH higher up the list. Where's Hendrix, Chuck Berry, The Band, CSN, The Pretenders, Devo, Crazy Horse? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I know, but who's really going to write in complaining that The Band were "a Canadian group"? They never were. They were an American band through and through. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sweet Papa Crimbo Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 Anyone care to provide an alternative top ten. Would be interesting to see if there is any kind of consensus. Would Wilco be in there? As an aside, us Brits always produced the best bands press whilst you guys seem to produce the best solo artists. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
u2roolz Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 I know, but who's really going to write in complaining that The Band were "a Canadian group"? They never were. They were an American band through and through. You'd be surprised! I had this older drunk gentleman talking my ear off last night after the fireworks. He said that we should invade Mexico before "they all come over here" and carpet bomb Iran. I asked him "what about the innocent civilians?" He replied, "well, we can tell them to duck. Can't we?" Anyways, he mentioned that we should invade Canada and push all of the Canadians out of their houses and take over their country. His two big concerns were: 1) who is going to push the button when the Mexicans take over? He kept saying that the "pols" would walk out of their jobs and the Army would take over. He assumed that the Army would be made up of 90% illegals. 2) how come bartenders and servers make below minimum wage? He said that he'd offer to pay $20 for a burger, so that the bartender can make $9 per hour. In other words: there would probably be some people complaining about The Band.
