Good list. That last Cure album after Bloodflowers was pretty brutal though. LOL

Love most of those bands.

What about Aerosmith & the Eagles.

Aerosmith hasn't been good in years, but if this were a top 20, they'd probably be there.

As for The Eagles, are they even a band still? They wouldn't make my list anyway.

I guess your too young to realize the impact & still have on music today.
That's OK.

Actually I thought the last Cure CD was pretty good. They have a double CD coming out in October and a new world tour I would have put them top 5.

What about Rush?
They are still going strong. Snakes and Arrows was awesome and no sign of an end in sight for them They have released two of their best live projects in the last 5 years in Rush in Rio and R30 and doing 3+ hour shows would qualify them...I would have put them ahead of the hip as big of a hip fan as i am.

Jill, with all due respect, those are good choices but not top Ten. The Who I wouldnt put in the top ten only because they havent recorded anything worth listening to since Keith Moon died, Duran Duran I would probably put top 20....maybe because their recent recordings havent been exactly stellar.
And Kiss hasnt recorded much new stuff recently so they I think are off the list.

Buffalo Mike..... I actually agree with everything you said but I remain a die hard Duran Duran Fan. What about AC/DC?

Mike....The Eagles?? I hear they actually have a new one coming out in October, but the last one was 1979... (even thought I 'LOVE' the Eagles....

I wouldn't say Duran Duran... really... they were good then but really not good for long after...

I'm not a complete fan of all the 10 bands listed, but I probably would have put U2 at the top. They are just as popular with the next generation as they were with 'us' in the early-mid-late eighties.

Are the top ten just 'ten', or ranked?

Thanks Jill. I knew there was something missing from the list. AC/DC has to be up there.

Of course, these are all Mike's favorites, not necessarily the ones that deserve to be there. :P

I did try to rank them, but it's definitely subjective. My top 20 would include AC~DC and Rush.

Rolling Stones lest we forget.

Bon Jovi, The Scorpions, AC/DC, Rush, Iron Maiden...there are other bands!

I wouldnt put the Scorpions in any top list their last cd they just released sucked...it was overproduced crappy power ballads.
AC/DC has released nothing of note over the last 7 years have they? Iron Maiden hasnt released anything worthy of mention either.

Buffalo Boy, I loved The Cure the better part of my life and honestly that last album pretty much ruined the legacy for me. He's turned into a pardoy of himself. This current line-up is really really tight but come on.. who belives a man that age still feels like the subject matter he writes about? I think they are, simply put, stale.
