have to tell I only recognized Beatles and Sex Pistols. and the latter was but a lame marketing ploy -- not much unlike the fab 4, but at least those got some talent and played actual music...
I don't listen to the music industry yearly droppings, I just enjoy music by itself. Shouldn't even be called music industry, it's actually just recording industry for teenagers. There are far better musicians and music outside this mafia... internet radio made possible to know a lot of them, but even then internet radio too is 80% recording industry droppings...
