Absolutely ... Bob Seegar and Allman Brothers.
Play some Skynard!
Just where the heck is my ping???
8^)
Where's ABBA?
Thank G-d Kurdt made the top ten...PS: the Chili Peppers should be in the top 25...
PING (belated and apologetic version)
The Four Lads
The Crew Cuts
The Ames Brothers
Tommy James and the Shondells
Jimmy Beaumont and The Skyliners
The Tokens
Bill Haley and the Comets
The Vogues
The Jaggerz
They never get enough credit.
Now these were great groups or individuals.
Wild Cherry Perhaps??
Where's Van Halen? Motley Crue? Dokken? Skid Row?? Metallica??
Madonna at #6?? Pulllleeze!
More pinging
Molly Hatchett?
Steve Miller Band
Cheap Trick should be at Number 16, no question about it.

I'd take ABBA over half the others, easily! ;o)
oh GOOD GOD....
The more I look at the list, the more I think my parents put it together (although, in all fairness, my mother would have included Guns N Roses)
Neither Kurt Cobain nor Michael Jackson should be anywhere near the top 10...or top 20!
Yikes. You are too old to listen to music aimed at 14 year olds!!
I'll have to work up a better list. I'll have it by tomorrow.
If your mom likes G n R, she can't have that bad of taste!
They couldn't dance. Was Ed one of the Ames bros?
LOL. I'm thinking Bay City Rollers..
