These lists are hard to take seriously, we all have our personal favorites- mine- NRBQ- best band ever
Bob Dylan- best songwriter
Van Morrison- personal favorite
Beatles, Clapton.....everybody else
My favorite "Roots" of Rock'n'Roll- Louis Prima/Sam Butera
Smiley Lewis
Big Joe Turner- check out this cd- awesome!
To: pissant
The author must have mixed up 25 best with 25 worst for a few - take Michael Jackson and Madonna off the list. Jacko - one bad apple
did spoil the whole bunch, and Madonna? I actually like some of her songs, but her voice is so highly synthesized and manipulated and the 'music' electronically manufactured, that for all we know she sounds like Kermit the Frog and anyone of us could do what she does (singing that is) or better.
That being said, add, in no particular order Tom Petty (and the Heartbreakers) and Aerosmith. Now that's a better list. ;-)

And Rob Zombie is dissed yet again...

If Cheap Trick makes your top 50, you better redo the whole thing. ;o)

Why doesn't The Vogues ever get into these lists? They had 8 smash releases in 10 years. And their albums were always top sellers.
To: Chi-townChief
That's quite the list. though I do not consider some, like Sinatra to be Rock & Roll.

I would prefer to blame Canada when and if at all possible.

Or Madonna. That's a damn head scratcher.

I knew I could count on a kindred spirit.
Big Joe Turner is smoking. Elmore James would be in my top 10, though he is theoretically the blues.

Yeah...I don't get that one.
Where's Marvin Gaye? Certainly he ranks higher than Madonna!

Question: Did Ivory Joe Turner do: "I'm gone to the river and jump over board and drown"? Your good at this pissant. One of the very first pop blues songs.
To: pissant
An essential question has not been asked: "Top" at what? Earning money? Most influential? Most appealing music?

This is probably my favorite Big Joe cd- recorded in 1976- awesome session- this is REAL Music, not the garbage put out today....
To: thoughtomator
That works. I would have happily deported him there.
