Eleven to Twenty
A couple days ago, I wrote a few thoughts down about the top ten music artists (someone's opinion based on Cleveland Hall of Fame list) and where they fit into my own world... Here is a continuation of the list (judged by influence, quality, etc etc) and where I consider them to be in my overall list (basically judged on importance in my life or musical taste, etc). Anyway, here is eleven to twenty...
11. Fats Domino - Well, this is another '50's star who doesn't really figure into my top 100.
12. Jimi Hendrix - Yes, he's in at 45 on my list. Linda saw him when she was a girl.
13. The Beach Boys - Very very much part of my world, but much more so since I moved to the UK. Seen Brian Wilson a few times in concert and have at times become a bit obsessed with learning more and buying CD's etc... Beach boys are ranked at number 4 on my list.
14. Sam Cooke - nope. Weird how some people just aren't on my radar as much as others, yet are so highly rated on other lists.
15. The Who - Yeah, I have them at 25. Seen THEM in concert, too, in the late '80's I think. At Foxboro, MA. The Tommy album is one of my faves.
16. Stevie Wonder - Yes, on my radar and have a few CD's. Can't say he's amongst my favourites. At 69th place on my list.
17. Michael Jackson - This is one where my wife influences me a bit, otherwise it's not really my type of music. I find him interesting, and would often choose to watch a show about him, tho. My rank is 47.
18. Madonna - Not in my top 100, but I think updates of my list will probably include her. I like a few of her things. Like a Prayer, for instance.
19. Marvin Gaye - Very much like What's Going On album... but not a lot else from him. He's on my list at 66.
20. Buddy Holly - Like some songs, but not a huge fan of Buddy Holly. He's there on my list at 87.
11. Fats Domino - Well, this is another '50's star who doesn't really figure into my top 100.
12. Jimi Hendrix - Yes, he's in at 45 on my list. Linda saw him when she was a girl.
