Bah Humbug. I think they might have spoken to a certain type of person at a certain time though. If you listen to The Beatles now though (without knowing their history), you could say they sound just like any other pop band.
Black Sabbath? BLACK SABBATH?!? You're kidding right? You may not like their music, but without them Metal would not be what it is now... it is a fact.
Does anything but Freebird or Sweet Home Alabama ever get played on the radio? I swear that there's an unwritten radio rule somewhere that says you have to play 3 Freebirds and 5 Sweet Home Aabamas for everything else that they play of theirs.
I know that this will get some people all in a frenzy, but AC/DC is added to that list, in my opinion. I don't consider screeching like a cat in heat talent. I would have said Journey, Styx, and Nirvana, but they were already mentioned. What is up with people adding Queen? You people make my eyes bleed! I love Queen. I agreed with most of your list, excluding the Moody Blues. How could anyone ever think of putting them on such a list?
