Top Ten Rock Bands

Top Ten Rock Bands by Roxanne McDonald

Then I can go absolutely coo coo with my fervent list-making and do top 10 female artists, top 10 blues artists, etc., etc., etc.!

MSNBC, of course NBC one of the oldest and most legendary television networks in its own right, has determined the top ten best rock bands ever. Or, rather, reporter/contributor Eric Olsen does, conceding that the list is of course purely subjective.

I would like to see if I can come up with my own list, taking it as a challenge not to make a list but to limit myself to a short list like this.

I mean, how do I fit The Partrideg Family in there when I only have ten slots?

Heh heh. You don’t know if I’m kidding….

So. Anyway.

I like to make my own rules, just barely teetering on those fringes (or dangling from them by two fingers), so I will add my list with cheats and cut corners and all.
