Blue Moon Top 100 Bands Artists - Full List of Artists (pg 287)

[Dr Jacoby]

I’m assuming Echo and the Bunnymen won’t feature either. Shame.

 

[BlueHammer85]

You tell em Bob

 

[City Hobgoblin]

Dylan is not an “easy” artist to like for some, but rewards a bit of effort.
Most of the stuff he did up to the motorcycle accident is brilliant.

 

[journolud]

Anyway still nothing for me.

You are obviously going to boss the top ten

 

[Onholiday(somemightsay)]

Totally agree. I personally think the same for The Beatles

You are not allowed to say negative things about the Beatles........... ;-)

20th ?!
This is devastating news to wake up too

Blame his stoopid scoring system!



I kid I kid Rob. I actually think it is a fairer representation and as you say stops one or two posters swinging the balance

Supprised Tom Petty hasn't made anywhere near the 100 considering some of the musical tastes shown.

Thank christ that twat Clapton hasn't turned up .

Tom Petty is one of those artists I like, and saw live a couple of times but think you only need a couple of his albums and the greatest hits.

That's what I thought until 2010 when I watched the excellent "Running Down A Dream" documentary, and it's definitely not true.

I already liked him, but seeing that incredible film changed my opinion for the better. Some of the deeper cuts on his albums rival his greatest hits.

What I would say though is that if you took Tom Petty's 20 best songs, they would rival the top 20 of any other artist in the history of rock and pop - and that includes Elvis, The Beatles, Dylan, Springsteen, The Stones etc.

All essential for me. Of course they are all with The Heartbreakers. I never really got into his solo stuff. For me he lost a spark without the band behind him. Became a bit MOR. I blame all that Wilbury shite he got involved with.
Mojo was an apt name for one of his last records with The Heartbreakers, as he really did seem to find his again.
