Argh! It's difficult enough limiting it to 10 in couple of those decades.

You're clearly not a Stones fan

Thanks Bigfoot, I couldn´t have said it better myself. Awesome hilarius post (LOL).

[gjedda63]

No one has Rainbow as a favourite ?? hmmm.

 

[sunwaiter]

i like ritchie blackmore, but more with deep pruple than with rainbow, despite of all he showed he could do with this band , along with incredible players (i have a little preference for cozy powell). i only have the double japanese live album back home.

2000: i can't say, i don't listen very much to what's going on in the present.

1990: wu-tang clan (36 chambers)
nirvana (nevermind)
cypress hill (III - temples of boom)
jamiroquai (first album)
noir désir (tostaky)
others i can't think of right now

1980: ...?

1970: peter gabriel (first three albums)
black sabbath (sabotage)
led zeppelin (houses of the holy)
kool and the gang (music is the message)
james brown (the payback)
santana (illuminations)
others i can't think of right now

1960: john coltrane (a love supreme)
jimmy smith (respect)
the beatles (abbey road)
the beach boys (pet sounds / smiley smile)
others i can't think of right now

¹Kid Rock is surprisingly popular with the "mid-life crisis" crowd. An old man like Philadelphia sports-broadcast personality Al Morganti has publicly admitted to working out to the sounds of Kid Rock.:smirk:

²For me, I can pinpoint the exact place in time when my interest in Rock/Pop music started to decline precipitously. It was immediately after cut three of U2's The Joshua Tree. Nothing in the genre (not even the remaining cuts on THAT album) has resonated the same way since.:shake:

 

[White Knight]

And nobody saw fit to include Jimi Hendrix!:shake::scold:Shame,shame.

So am I to take it from the lack of any response whatsoever to this post from over a month ago that no participating members of this thread believe that Hendrix should be included in any "top ten artists'' ranking list of this sort? I am truly stunned and in disbelief should that be the case, as it apparently is. WOW! :banghead::shake:
