    Every "100 Top Album lists" will be different because of what makes an album "Great".
    Read somewhere the other day that "The Velvet Underground & Nico" originally sold under 10,000 copies, "but was important because everyone who bought (it) went on to form bands". Similar to "The Clash" (Both were great albums imo).

    This is Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 100 greatest artists of all time.

    1. The Beatles - Makes sense. Some of the most influential albums of all time are the works of these lads. What else can you say?
    2. Bob Dylan - I could argue with this one. He's a legend, but number 2?
    3. Elvis Presley - Very successful, the king of rock n roll of course, but he was very controlled by his manager.
    4. Rolling Stones - Often called 'Anti-Beatles', definitely top 5
    5. Chuck Berry - Probably invented Rock n Roll. Deserves to be here.
    6. Jimi Hendrix - First guitar god, I believe. Revolutionary player
    7. James Brown - Godfather of soul, is it? Great showman
    8. Little Richard - American Rock & Roll/R & B singer and pianist
    9. Aretha Franklin - I think she was the first woman to be inducted into the rock n roll hall of fame. I'll look that up later.
    10. Ray Charles - American R&B singer and pianist
    11. Bob Marley - Jamaican reggae singer
    12. The Beach Boys - Some of the catchiest songs I ever heard.
    13. Buddy Holly - Tragic death. One of the first to use a solid-body electric guitar.
    14. Led Zeppelin - Possibly the 'fathers of heavy metal', but some might argue that Black Sabbath is.
    15. Stevie Wonder - American soul singer. Plays many different instruments, and has won 22 grammy awards
    16. Sam Cooke - A founder of soul music.
    17. Muddy Waters - 'Father of Chicago Blues'
    18. Marvin Gaye - 'The Prince of Motown'.
    19. The Velvet Underground - American rock band, formed in 1965. Regarded as highly influencial in the rise to punk-rock, and alt-rock.
    20. Bo Diddley - Legendary R&B singer. Known as the 'Originator'
    21. Otis Redding - You might not know him, but you've probably heard 'Sittin' on the dock of a bay'.
    22. U2 - The Joshua Tree was one of my favourite albums
    23. Bruce Springsteen - Born in the USA was overplayed. Good to see him make music again.
    24. Jerry Lee Lewis - 'Great Balls of Fire' was his greatest hit, and one of my favs
    25. Fats Domino - Rock & Roll pianist

    Not many of these tally with sales.

    Haha, yeh, where are the Spice Girls?
    Yep, perhaps 'inspiration' is what makes these bands. Spice girls?

    I do like some other music, though not much mentioned in this thread (an honourable exception is made for The Clash)

    The Doors, Love over Gold, Help, Kinks Village green preservation society

    Was listening to The Doors last night: still valid and full of life - Riders on the Storm, Strange Days, Touch Me, Roadhouse Blues, Peace Frog. Great stuff.

    Viewfinder- if you like the Doors checkout Love the band that introduced the Doors to Electra records their 1967 album Forever Changes is on almost every music industry classic albums list-you wont be disapointed

    Will certainly do that, fossdeneboy - thanks for the tip. While on the subject of 1960s California bands - d'you remember It's A Beautiful Day? With at least a couple of original members, they are playing the unlikely venue of the Beaverwood Club in Chislehurst later this summer.
