Well, I can’t argue that Dylan really and truly cannot sing. And I never liked ABBA. And don’t even get me started on Barry Manilow. Too sacherine for my taste. And thank goodness he didn’t insult Mercury. That would have put me over the edge. But was fun to read. Thanks.

This list is ridiculous. The first two listed are The Beatles and The Rolling Stones. Maybe you can make the case that they weren't number one, but both are certainly in the top five rock bands ever!

What?!? Who made up this list?? I have to agree with redwitch about Dylan especially - never cared for him - but many of the others, really? All I can say is, guess you had to be there.

Seeing this list makes me happy I am too old to be a boomer. How about some good doo wop???

I see those come-ons all over the internet, some of the headlines are so ridiculous you have to click on the link. You've seen them, usually its "look at her now, famous 60's star blah blah". I think the most famous is 'People at Walmart', they even have their own website. That is their aim, more clicks, more advertising dollars.

The Beatles as number one on the list? I did not even wast my time clicking to the next page. The Beatles were absolutely great and were a driving force in the transformation of music during their era.
