I like Boston (well their first album anyway), but top 50 is pushing it.

Gotcha

Also I hope Death Cab for Cutie are only in their as a joke. Replace them with Frank Zappa.

Thats an order.

MHDTV · 07-20-2007, 11:19 PM

Hell, no. Hey, I said personal preference was part of it. I'll add Frank Zappa though.

Aerosmith? I really rate their early stuff (ROCKS/TOYS IN THE ATTIC) but they borrowed so much from The Stones and any band that produces the godawful Cryin' deserves to drop down any list.

Massive Attack-add them now!
Public Enemy-ditto
Hawkwind-ditto

^ Urban's gonna love you.

I'd choose Aretha Franklin over all on that list put together.

I'm serious.

Bar Bowie.

MHDTV · 07-21-2007, 11:00 PM

I put Aretha Franklin. Right away Jackhammer. Remember I'm just putting down canidates, this isn't supposed to be exactly 50.

And The Stones borrowed from everybody. Who cares?

The Stones borrowed yes , but they still sound like the Stones.

Aerosmith borrowed ... and they sound like the Stones.

Although i've never actually heard Aerosmith do a Stones cover even though they've done several Beatles covers. Too close to home maybe?
