OK, hold on a sec... I'm not saying H&O don't deserve their spot in the Top 20, but seriously... Chicago rates higher...? And the Jackson siblings back-to-back? And The Who isn't even on the list? What kind of bad crack are they smoking before compiling this list?
Yeah I know.. not sure what the deal is with all of that. I tend not to agree with many of these, especially Rolling Stone for some reason, but IMO Led Zep would be at the top. I didn't read the entire article to find out how this was determined, but I would guess it's due to record sales?? Who knows? There was also a comment on the Billboard site that said that Pink Floyd wasn't on the list.. shameful.
I cannot imagine that Janet has had more record sales than Michael... but what do I know, I gave up on popular music a LONG time ago... I have my favorites (to which I do add newer musicians from time to time), but for the most part, when I'm listening to my satellite radio, it's either talk-radio or the 80's and 90's music channels...
