Hello everyone. I have a question. Do those of you who have signed up as followers of my blog get an email notification of any kind when I publish a new post? If not please forgive me while I try to figure out how to do that. Or if you know how and could teach me, I would be highly indebted to you. Let me know. Thanks!!

Top 100 continued

Hi. First of all, thanks to everyone who commented on my last post. I hope to continue to hear from new readers on their 'top five".
I finally watched the last hour of the "Top 100" show. Here is the top 20 as they had it:
20.Marvin Gaye   15.The Beach Boys   10.Stevie Wonder   5.Bob Dylan
19.U-2                 14.Nirvana                 9.James Brown      4.The Rolling Stones
18.Pink Floyd       13.The Who              8.Elvis Presley        3.Led Zeppelin
17.Queen             12.David Bowie         7.Prince                  2.Michael Jackson
16.Madonna         11.Bob Marley          6.Jimi Hendrix         1.The Beatles

So, my prediction was wrong. (As you may recall) I predicted MJ, The Beatles, Elvis,Led Zep, and Madonna would make the top 10. As you can see "ole girl" didn't make it. Oh well. :)

This whole discussion has been fun, and actually makes me wonder what people think about other similar things. For instance, What do you think are the top 5 best albums ever, or best songs ever? Or we could go into specifics, like who are your 5 favorite R+B artists, or Country, or who are you 5 favorite female singers etc.

BTW, (you probably already know this but) you can click on comments, and see what everyone else is saying.
I noticed Rodney already listed his top 5 favorite keyboardists. Rodney, you're right, those dudes are the bomb!!:) Anyway, that prompted me to want to list my top 5 favorite guitarists. Okay here goes.

Alex Lifeson (Rush) Maybe the must underrated guitarist ever!
Jeff Beck There is no one like him!
David Gilmour (Pink Floyd) A true tonemaster!
Stevie Ray Vaughn I saw him in 1987 and haven't looked at a guitar the same way since!
Tommy Emmanuel OMG! If you haven't heard this guy, you must go to youtube and listen to him at ONCE!!
This list could go on and on, but I'll stop there.. Take care friends!!

top 100

Okay, so they've been running this show on "VH1 Classic" called "The top 100 artist of all time". It's 5 hours long!! Well actually it's 5 one hour segments. The premise of the show is, (pretty obvious) They polled 200 famous artists from the music world, and asked them who they thought were the top 5 artists/entertainers of all time. Then, (of course) they tallied the results, and came up with the top 100. On each segment of the show they name each artist, (starting with 100) show footage and pics of that artist, and have guest celebs give their opinion as to why they think this artist is the best ever.. It's a really fun show to watch! I've already watched the first four hours, and have the last hour on DVR waiting to watch. So I've already seen 100 thru 20. I bet I can tell you 5 artists out of the top 10 without having to watch. Here goes: Michael Jackson, The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Elvis Presley, and Madonna. I'll let you know how I did (or you can watch for yourself).

Okay, I said all that to ask this question. I really wanna know, who are your top 5 favorite artist/entertainers/musicians of all time?? And (if you wish) why?

Without expounding to much on why (for now), I'll give you my top 5. (They're all bands)  5.Vanhalen 4.Rush 3.Led Zeppelin 2.The Beatles 1.Pink Floyd

On any given day the order might change, but those are definitely my top 5. WHAT'S YOURS??????
