Bob Dylan? I’d rather gouge my eyes out than go to a Dylan concert. Madonna ahead of Pink Floyd? Puh-leaze.

A lot of good ones. Some, like Alicia Keys are great artists but they are far too young and it is far too soon to judge them in this category. Also, unlike several of the other young artists/bands, she didn’t break through any musical barriers or achieve any major milestones (like Mariah beating the Beatles number of gold records).

I’m not saying she isn’t a great artist.. it is just too soon for her to be on this list.

"I’m not saying she isn’t a great artist.. it is just too soon for her to be on this list."

I think she had her first number one twenty-years ago this year. Just saying. I don't really care for her music, but this isn't her first rodeo.

That’s what I was wondering. At least the Beastie Boys made it.*eyes rolling*

They’ve been playing since 80 and they are still selling out stadiums and have the same energy they did in the 80s. Plus, they don’t play the, we are retired, no we aren’t, yes we are game.. they just keep doing concerts like they are still 18.

We’ve been to at least 7 of their concerts.. never disappointed.

I’d think Elvis should rate before that fruitcake Prince and that drip Bob Dylan and that idiot Michael Jackson. Come on. It’s Elvis! And I’m not the biggest Elvis fan either.

Wait a minute, wait a minute. There must be a technical glitch here or something. I cannot find "Creedence Clearwater Revival" in here anywhere, much less in the top ten, where you would expect to find it. And I tried "CCR," too.

And no "Moody Blues," either, in the top 100. But there's a lot of folks I've never heard any songs of, though.

They’ve got Tupak Shukar, but NOT Dave Matthews. I don’t think so.
