I never liked the Stones, so rank them in the top 5 for me.
Frank Sinatra was more pizzaz than talent. People like him because it was expected of them.
Eminem
David Bowie
Bruce Springsteen
I like trippy music so Pink Floyd is okay in my book. Listen to the lyrics of “Mother” from the wall, it’s contemporary classic.
Meatloaf? Anybody that ugly who can get up there and sing like that is okay in my book too.
Meatloaf has one of the all-time great R&R voices. To hear him really rock out (without the Jim Steinman influence), check out the Ted Nugent album, "Free for All." Amazing!
