This is a really dumb game. I struggled to G and ,when faced with a decision of not being able to listen to either Marvin Gaye or Al Green for the rest of my life, gave up.
Yeah great point. Doors, Soundgarden, Snoop Dogg, Rick James, James Brown and many others miss out.
Xzibit gets in.
Shit game

whyyyyyyyyyy.......anyone would bother trying to justify being a fan of this tepid and utterly shit group.
I really expect so much more of you @Rocky-Rockbottom
haha, says the guy whose list is any 2 hours of Radio Hauraki from 1997...
I resent that remark. Some of my groups best work is from the late 60s. I even go so far as the mid 2010s

OK, so I was in a boring meeting and had a go. I took it from the point that, according to the rules this would form a collection that had to sustain me forever so some artists have been chosen on the basis of the size and scope of their work, others as 'go to' enjoyment and some as previously unexplored

Sam Cooke
Dexys Midnight Runners
Echo and the Bunnymen
Aretha Franklin
Marvin Gaye

U- U2 (unapologetically, what the hell is wrong with U2!!)Bingo.
I figure TSF music threads are mostly populated by music critics of the sort who write occasional reviews for the Guardian, loathe four chord happy pop songs with every ounce of their being, and are triggered by what people actually listen to even more:

But, for most people, that's irrelevant. There's a reason why the best-selling album in UK chart history is Queen's Greatest Hits; and why second place goes to Abba's Gold.
