knightni Posted November 21, 2009 Author Share Posted November 21, 2009 That Elvis one took nearly an hour by itself. Too many hits in his discography. The Beatles one is going to kill me, I'm sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlaSoxxJim Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 Thanks for including the "27 Club" factoid for Morrison in the doors write-up. Peter Ham of Badfinger, Pigpen from the Grateful Dead, and Chris Bell of Big Star also all cached it in at 27. There was a rock critic a while back who looked at it statistically and it's uncanny how many rockers died at 27. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was never a big fan of Alice in Chains, but their Unplugged album is amongst the best of any to come out of that series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Critic Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 AIC was the most "metal" of the three, so their higher rank works for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His new CD, Secret, Profane, and Sugarcane is decent and if you have not heard his recent stuff, you will be surprised. http://www.elviscostello.com/ He almost made my list.

Elvis Costello is awesome. He didn't make my list either, but I certainly considered him. I'm kind of surprised the Doors were only on 3 lists, but at least they made it!

BigEdWalsh Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 (edited) Elvis?? What is this, 1956??? I'm wondering now if Chuck Berry is gonna make the list. And the Drifters...and the Platters....and the Coasters....Dion and the Belmonts... I'm just kidding. I didn't vote for him but I think it's kinda cool that the King made the list. Now if James Brown the other king makes it we're all set. Edited November 21, 2009 by BigEdWalsh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iamshack Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 I'm loving the s*** out of these write-ups. I find the drama of these bands, especially those that were formed back in the 60's and 70's, incredibly fascinating. Thanks so much for doing this, Jeremy.

I appreciate the thanks in putting it together. But someone with more music history knowledge than me penned the articles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice to see them get into the top 20 Another band I started to add, then dropped because I figured I'd be the only one to have them on my list. If the Moody Blues are on here later, or a few Southern Rock bands I thought of and dropped, I will be kicking myself even harder. And damn, did I forget ELO?

I felt the same about Paul Revere and the Raiders and The Buckinghams. They would have been late on my list (15-20) anyways, and at that point it wouldn't matter.
