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

I agree with Steve Miller , The Cars , Aerosmith , Roxy Music TPATH , The Police , The Pretenders and the others are take it or leave it with me

Can you fix the punctuation mate? :) Not sure if you like only Steve, or like all but The Pretenders, or some mix. :)

Here's another one -- James Brown!

I don't think The Carpenters nor BB qualify as rock and roll, but they certainly do pop. I do have a soft spot for BB but think of him as a composer more than an artist. But I do think of him when I think of growing up in the 70s. Ah, the good ol' 70s, when white people liked pina coladas and getting caught in the rain, and went through the desert on a horse with no name, or wound their way down on Baker Street in the year of the cat.

EARLY Aerosmith. EARLY. Toys in the Attic, stuff like that. I got a kick out of their hook up with Run DMC; after that, not as fond of what they did. Definitely had two careers and two sounds.

I’ve been on their roller coaster that was shit as well :-) if we all liked the same things music would be very boring though.

I'd love 'em just for the opening 45 seconds of Sweet Emotion alone. But Walk This Way is a stroke, and Draw The Line (and Back In the Saddle) could melt an iceberg. 3-4 really good records and 15-20 great songs I think. For a little while they were as close as Americans could get to Led Zep (yeah, I know -- quite different, pretty far away -- that's what I mean, though), though eventually Soundgarden came along and put to rest any further debate and retired the emulation/rip-off/homage/sound-alike trophy.

Apologies Fog did it in a flash as I had to leave to get a tooth guard those listed I definitely concur with your sentiments and the rest I meant you can take them in or leave them out IMOO they are borderline.

Definitely early Aerosmith like you not a huge fan of anything after Nuts in the Ruts to be honest with a couple of songs that I listen to regularly from the 80's from Permanent Vacation for example and agreed well surmised 2 sounds and two careers in one with the second not quite my bag to be honest and not on my play list and doubt ever will be.

James Brown no doubt surprised he missed out , a clear stand out in his genre and what a performer a move generator as you eloquently describe one of the key ingredients to musical impact.

I refer to artists of the musical kind definitely not R&R but for contribution to music and the performing arts as such albeit is in my opinion a far more accomplished pianist than say Elton John.

I think BB is a genius as a composer and an average artist as you point out.

America with Rupert Homes on board dragging Billy Connolly's best drinking mate and fellow musician and Al Stewart for the ride.

you won't belief this and I am not making it up but on channel 173 recently on Foxtel here in OZ along with stingray the four tunes you refer came on consecutively.

What are the odds of that Fog I am bloody impressed you must have access to the same stuff I throw on when I need same background noise albeit some of America I actually like and my first girlfriend was a huge fan of Dewey Bunnell crush wise despite the name.

I doubt many who don't know their history would know they formed In London.

Michael (Woodz) much underrated IMO love some of his licks.

No write up? Are you googling the laughing gnome by any chance?

Deserves to be top 10, suprised he didn't make top 5 knowing whats left.

He didn't just produce music, he produced art but would have not had this longevity without both his lyrics and perfomance

Massive global icon. Hugely influential. The 3 album run from Hunky Dory to Aladdinsane via Ziggy Stardust, arguably 3rd only to The Beatles (Rubber Soul, Revolver, Pepper) and The Stones (Beggar’s Banquet, Let It Bleed, Sticky Fingers). Pure subjective opinion of course!

I don't think the top six need any introduction, to be fair. Please don't read anything else into it.

Who's the laughing gnome? EDIT OK, it's a Bowie song. Still don't understand though.

Damn. I wanted Bowie at number one. “Outside” is an incredible piece of art.
