Top 5 Bands of all time?

nimrod said:
the flower power thing is an interesting one, as reading some of the history there was a lot of 'cross pollination' of ideas in that period so as to who was originating the ideas is at best uncertain. for instance Donovan wrote his psych album sunshine superman a year before Pepper and surrealistic pillow were released but its release was delayed (until after those two) due to a record company dispute. Donovan's manager told him not to let McCartney hear it which given the scene was not a credible suggestion. not to say the Beatles didn't have their own great ideas, but they were great copyists as well.

I have Donovan`s autobiography. I think he`s done everything except invent the wheel.
 
No particular order...

The Jam
Squeeze
Stereophonics
Manic Street Preachers
Queen

(Oasis v close to making the top 5 as were Blondie, but the 1970's/80's version, not the 77 year old granny in a short skirt version!)

Good shout with Squeeze

Difford and Tilbrook are on a par with Lennon and Mcartney and Jagger/Richard imo.
 
Stereophonic are one of my faves. I kind of lost track with their last few albums though.
 
Difford and Tilbrook are superb song writers, it's not even questionable!
 
For the life of me I cannot understand why they didn't put them on instead of Elton John, they could keep playing their three top ten songs over and over again (I've also heard Elon Johns not his real name and I suspect thats a wig !)

Top 10 does not necessarily equate to quality, Joe Dolce got to number 1

If Elton John played the songs that he wrote, he'd have been on stage for about 3 and a half minutes... very poor equation Paul, I thought you were better than that ;)

Megadeth is fucking awesome tbh.Met Dave Mustaine several years ago after a concert, was awesome.

I loved Youthanasia when I was 14.

Apart from Metallica, and a bit of Megadeth and Pantera, I never really got into metal as much as I should have.

If someone could be bothered and has the time, feel free to compile me a list of definitive metal tracks that I should be listening to and I’ll make myself a Spotify playlist. Not too much death metal though 🤣

He did write them, the music anyway. Bernie Taupin obviously wrote the majority of the lyrics.
