Dylan? Hmmm, maybe top 25.
Prince (although I enjoy some of his music) is a self important twit.
What did one Deadhead say to the other after the drugs wore off?
“Man, this band sucks.”
Just kidding guys! Please put down the tar and feathers. Electronic pop has never been my thing but I did have a Depeche Mode album in middle school (early 80’s) and I do recall dancing around quite a bit to it and I think I may have even had a crush on one of the band members.
George Michaels and Justin Timberlake?
Why not Boy George and Liberacci?
No ZZ Top or Allman Brothers? No Al Green? No Smoky Robinson? Rolling Stones? Jimi Hendrix?
Hell! The Monkees were beter than many of these people.
Why do I think whoever came up with this list grew up in the 70’s?
no chubby checker?
who the hell made this list? some punk under 30?
Will any of these “artists” be remebered in 50 years? Maybe a handful but I doubt it.
Its just his act. Y'all do know that Prince in real life is a very Conservative, Jehovah's Witness?
Where is Little Peggy March? Helen Shapiro? Eden Kane? Frankie Vaughan?
No Bon Jovi?
Classic Rock and Roll!
This isn’t the Housewife Superstar! guy, is it?
... or sucked into it.
Love that joke.
This list is a joke...BUT...always glad for an excuse to post my favorite OutKast video...

No Buddy Holly, no Everly Brothers, no Dion. This list is a joke!
No Searchers either, and I consider them one of the most influential bands of all time. Invented folk rock. Invented the jangling guitar fills you still hear today. Just ask the Byrds and Tom Petty.
No Mojo Nixon? List is total BS.
LOL
I never did get the appeal of the Grateful Dead. After listening to their music, you want to kill yourself, and not in a cool Goth Metal sort of way either. The Dead were so disgustingly hippie bad, you want to end your life to not have to face their music again.
