Rounding out my top ten would be:

the next 4 could fall in and out of the top 10 by others that are on the bubble at any time

I could copy many of the previous
posters responses to this one........
and it would stand as the Top 10!

And on any given day...I could tell you
that any of those posters, as most have
indicated, would have a different answer.

There are just too many great groups and
artists to be considered over the vast
many years to be pigeonholed as part
of a "Greatest 10"........Greatest 20"....
Greatest 50 or even Greatest 100 to list...
simply because there would always be one that
would be left out.

It's been many a year, and many a song that
makes it too difficult to pick just 10.

Here's a crazy list... but at one time...a Top 10!

Kate Bush
Dave Edmunds
Men Without Hats
ZZ Top
STYX
Jim Carroll
Nazareth
Prism
FIST
Judas Priest

...in 1983, that list changed.......but!...you never
know...that lineup just may come back to me
at any given time???

I could list 1984's list?............ ;D

Thanks
Kim

4. Jethro Tull
5. Fleetwood Mac
6. BTO
