BigEdWalsh Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 QUOTE (Flash Tizzle @ Nov 22, 2009 -> 10:36 PM) 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. I considered both, but neither could crack my top 20. Mark Lindsey is one of my favorite rock singers ever. I nearly snuck the Shadows of Knight onto my list. They had two great albums and were for me the definitive Chicago garage band. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Critic Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 I didn't bother sending in a list because much like independent voters in political elections, my choices had ZERO chance to win (or even show up on the Top 50 list), so I figured I was wasting my vote.

Felix Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 (edited) To be fair, if he included his full discography, that post would have been longer than Elvis's. Also, Bobby Brown Goes Down was a huge hit overseas. IIRC, it reached #1 on the charts for some countries.

BigEdWalsh Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 I've never been too into Queen, though Brian May played a pretty mean guitar. Queen's just not my cup of tea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlaSoxxJim Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 Queen was one-of-a-kind, and there has never been a band with production standards as high as them imo. They barely missed out on my top 20, but their relatively high showing on the Soxtalk list is entirely warranted. I think they got too commercial sounding by the time The Game was released, and I definitely think they peaked with their earlier work, but one of the greatest and most original groups ever.

Texsox Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 Queen was sitting just outside my 20. Looking at it now, what the hell was I thinking? I had peter Frampton and Marshall Tucker higher. (although they too, were out of the top 20). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ELO made my list, and I understand the polish sentiment, for me it was the polish I liked with them, that I would dislike in others. No idea why.

knightni Posted November 25, 2009 Author Share Posted November 25, 2009 I'll hopefully have enough time over the next few days to post more bands than I have been. Of course, who'll actually be on Soxtalk on Thursday night but me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea why. Yeah, it comes down to individual tastes. Queen's hyper-production seems to fit the group, whereas it just irks me when I listen to ELO. Jeff Lynne's heavy-handed production is also basically what keeps me from thinking of George Harrison's Cloud 9 or the Wilburys albums will stand the test of time and the production totally gets in the way of the music. A lot of Full Moon fever is like that as well, although Mike Campbell sort of reined Lynne and Petty in a bit on that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
