I couldn’t name just one — this isn’t a new phenomenon, and I’m gettin’ old. Plus my parents’ records were (and still are) around here, so I grew up hearing those as well.

Also it can be a judgment call — e.g., The Easybeats hit with “Friday on My Mind”, but cowriter and band member George Young was the older brother of Malcolm and Angus of AC/DC and wound up producing a number of their albums.

Also, do the hits have to have been #1? :^)

I believe in Liberty. PPl can believe and express what they want.

Notice the title of the thread? People are expressing their belief and debating it. No one, anywhere, is dictating the "answer."

Get off your high horse, and actually read for comprehension.
