I saw The Kinks live in 1980 during their "One For the Road" tour. It was at the Forum in L.A. To this day I still consider it one of the best shows I ever attended. It was a night filled with great music and good fun. RIP Jim.
Why was Dee Murray on the list? He was Elton's bass player. Davey Johnstone was EJ's guitarist (a good one, too). I think Glen Buxton is overlooked. He was the lead guitarist in the Alice Cooper band.
I've seen these names on other lists, but I would've liked to have heard more from them:
Brian Jones
Pete Ham
Otis Redding
Jim Croce
Terry Kath
Buddy Holly
Danny Whitten
Duane Allman
Johnny Ace
Keith Moon
Tammi Terrell
Jackie Wilson
Bon Scott
I just put an Alice playlist on my iPod. It's got 83 songs, from "Pretties For You" to "Paranormal". "Welcome To My Nightmare" is the only album that I included in its entirety.
For me, The Beatles are head and shoulders above the rest. I love lots of other acts, but the Fabs will always be my faves. I've heard all their songs hundreds of times, but I just never get tired of them.
