@antipodean like the way you pick and choose whether you take the first or last name of a bands name

If I'm stuck listening to just them, I'll sort them alphabetically my way.

Nah man, choose one and stick with it. Crowded House is C or Led Zeppelin is Z.

@Bones your "rules" made it clear surnames of soloists and first name of bands (excluding "The")

Otherwise I'd have had Ella Fitzgerald and Aretha Franklin and not had to angst over an F for the first time in over 4 decades

That's a pretty good list all round albeit with a couple of awful bands but it would be boring if we all agreed.

I bet XTC haven't had this much chat online.......ever.

Fixed as per rules. I want a range of music if I'm stuck listening to just 26.

you've still got Dire Straits there though which I'm imagining is the soundtrack they play in hell.

dogmeat

In the waiting rooms and elevators in hell.

@MN5 some bands have just had too much radio airplay to ever make my list even though they've made quite a few other peoples.

I would rather eat shit than listen to a playlist that went Money For Nothing / Stairway to Heaven / With Or Without You

You don't have to have it on repeat and self flagellate.

Stairway to Heaven is a song I hate but it's from what I'd consider the greatest Rock band of all time who have done loads of other songs of utter brilliance.

Dire Straits is just bland, boring soft rock which is shit. I hate Knopflers voice and dreary songs.....yeah, let's all wear sneakers and headbands and do the "Walk of Life".......

You started this thread.........you've had more time than all of us to think about it.......

.....and that is your list.......

wow.

If it weren't for some uncanny Rugby knowledge and wit you would have been booted off here ages ago.

dogmeat

@MN5 Oh man - you do like to leave yourself wide open - don't you?
