Rumin Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 Michael JacksonBob DylanChuck BerryJohnny CashNone of them are bands.Bob Dylan had a band. Go buy Blonde on Blonde. That's a band. Johnny Cash had a band. Johnny Cash and the Tennesee Two. Chuck Berry and Michael Jackson had a band. Who cares if it's a band anyway? Bob Dylan playing by himself on Freewheelin' is as good as anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Dylan playing by himself on Freewheelin' is as good as anything.On this one, I agree with Rumin. It's a classic consequential complication of classification . It seems you have to list "artists" or "bands", we really need a new word that covers them both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnezz Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 This is for the biggest, not best. So in other words, more famous, right?Then what in the hell are bands like Genesis, Dire Straits, and REM and Oasis doing on that list ahead of AC/DC?Because Genesis can sell out Wembley Stadium 4 nights in a row...Something Axl can only dream of, Gn'R really were not a big band.Also, Deep Purple were the biggest band of the early 70's.

Yamisonic Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 Oh come on, Dire Straits can't be in the Top 10And if you're going to talk about big 80's bands, add The PoliceAnd not having Bob Marley and The Wailers on the lists... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do Genesis have the highest selling Hard Rock album of all time? I know i'm probably biased, but I think most people are putting AC/DC too far down on their lists. They're a band that should sit around 5-10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metallic ko Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 People need to stop putting the Ramones on their lists. To this day, they still haven't even sold 1 million records. April this years makes the 30th anniversary of their first album, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rumin Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 Guns N' Roses and Green Day do not belong near a Top 20 list. I'm not commenting on the quality of their music at all. They just don't because they aren't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had this album called "Peter Gabriel 3: Melt", not knowing what it was. Now I do.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
