Given the Stones early albums, 1963 - 1970, ( which I think are their best) it makes sense to me that Bill Wyman would list many of the original US rhythm and blues musicians/singers high on the list. Also, he gets some credit for not putting the Stones first!! ?

I'm not much for putting things in order but I like Bon Jovi and Queen. I'm not sure if gravity would have continued to work properly in a universe devoid of "Another One Bites the Dust".

He gives us old rockers a bad name.

So, I could write paragraphs about this, but...... I know it is totally subjective, and what criteria is weighted the heaviest? Musicianship? Influence? Ingenuity? My opinion is, that by any of those standards, this list is highly questionable, as apparently is the definition of rock and roll. Run DMC above the likes of Carlos Santana, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Cream, etc. Rush in the 200s. Wow, I could go on and on. But, it's the same as the lists of top guitarists. Oh well, maybe Ace Frehley is really better than Frank Zappa was.

Personally speaking here I'd say Bill Wyman was extremely biased.
The Beatles would have to come in at #1, equal with Roy Orbison and an Honourary posthumus #1 for the Big Bopper, Bud Holly and Richie Valens, followed the Shadows, the Beachboys, Queen, etc, etc, leaving the likes of Dylan, Bon Jovi, etc, way way down in their place with that presumptuous twat, Elvis Presley and the like.

I think the person who wrote this was born during that era and Queen should have definitely been at, or close too, #1 (because of my generational bias also.) The only way to get a correct list is to have multiple people voting from every generation; otherwise, you end up with this wack list.

I truly don't care what Bill Wyman thinks.

And where the fuck are the Wombles?

BTW, The Ramones suck by comparison to bands like The Moody Blues.

There are some thing that are a merger of opinion. There are other things that are a matter of fact. Being a person who is vaguely acquainted with these artists I can say, without question that undeniably absolutely reliably, entire Leaf actually based this list is wrong, wrong, wrong. That's my story and I'm sticking to it

I guess it's just as good as anyone else's list. Can you really go wrong with any combination of 214 HOFs, besides a handful or so? The writer does seem to go out of his way to insult people though.

Unfortunately there is no correct order since either combination will displease someone somewhere sometime....

The list is shit! Queen down there must be homophobic.Yet again, we would have to write our own list to be in total agreement m
