Re: Top 10 -- rocksteady, 21:31:40 02/27/00 Sun [1] (ppp34.lindsaycomp.on.ca/216.129.18.34)
Top 10 favorite groups? Lets face it, this can only be opinion. There are just so many arguments to be made... Anyway, this would be mine: 1. Guess Who; 2. Steely Dan; 3. Bruce Hornsby & The Range; 4. Emerson Lake & Palmer; 5. Peter Gabriel; 6. Rolling Stones; 7. Beatles; 8. Tragically Hip; 9. Rob McConnell & The Boss Brass; 10. Led Zeppelin. I don't know, this list could change from day to day...

Peter Gabriel, a group? I love the man, don't mistake it, but even with his recent weight gain, I wouldn't classify him as a group. One of my favorites, most definitely.

I agree with including solo artists (although I would tie BC into the same legacy with TGW). My Favorite 10:
Guess Who?
Beatles/John & Paul solos
Steely Dan/Fagen solos
Robert Palmer
10CC/Godley & Creme/Wax UK
Badfinger
Squeeze
John Cougar Mellencamp
Smithereens
Dave Edmunds/Rockpile
Spirit/Jo Jo Gunn

Wow, a Smithereens fan! Do you have their version of "Shakin' All Over"?

John Mellencamp--all right!
So, how about a groups only list and then a group/single list. I say this because most of the time, when a group member goes off to do single work, it is definitely different from what was produced by the group.
