Musical Mount Rushmore

[tsptalk]

I stole this idea from Imus: Name your Musical Mount Rushmore. That would be 4 groups, singers, etc., however you might interpret the 4 most significant forces in music, changed music, music greats, etc.

It's tough to name just 4 and it may change for you depending on the day you ask. Anyway, here's mine...

1) Beatles

2) Led Zeppelin

3) Michael Jackson

4) Elvis


I'm not a big Elvis fan, but he's on there because of how he influenced the music world at the time.

Hmm, wow, 4 eh? Alright:

1) Beatles
2) Jethro Tull
3) Rush
4) U2

It's funny, because I don't own a bunch of U2 records, but there's no doubt in my mind they have a place in there. Too few, how can Jimi not be in there?!? As Tom stated, maybe tomorrow....

Nice... Rush. They would definitely be on my top 4 bands that I like (maybe top 2), but they didn't make my Mount Rushmore.

The Rolling Stones, the Doobie Brothers and Pink Floyd have to be in there somewhere.

Tough choices for sure. If I were 17 years old hanging out with friends listening to music, this topic would probably suck up a number of hours of our youth in "serious" debate. At least at that time would have been serious - I mean, not that it's not serious now!:cheesy:
