This is an addendum to my ABC's of Rock and Roll. These are ratings; so yes I think the Beatles are the best and I think Jeff Beck is the 19th greatest etc.. I am sure I have forgotten someone and I hope you can point it out to me. But save writing the B-52's. I did not forget them. I actually have disliked them longer than some of the readers have been alive.
I don't know if they're your thing, but the Barenaked Ladies totally rock. I saw them last night in concert, and I gotta say they are some of the best performers I've ever seen.
See now, I knew I would forget someone I love. I will have to add them.
You know I love seeing the Band that high up there, and I love that you included the Buzzcocks...
As for others (some I'm sure you don't dig as much as I do), I'll suggest Captain Beefheart (or is he a 'C' artist?), Blur, T Bone Burnett, Beastie Boys, Beau Brummels, Badfinger, and Bad Religion.
Shalom, y'all!

I love the Buzzcocks and if this was just my personal favorites they would rate higher. That music got me through a lot of college. Beasties should be on the list. Blur maybe someday.
