25. All time? Really tough to weed a few out

Tue Feb 21, 2012, 06:40 PM

Feb 2012

In no particular order:

The Doors
Bruce Hornsby and the Range
Dire Straits
The Beatles
The Byrds
Wolverlei
The Beach Boys
Steeleye Span
Steely Dan
The Freedom Toast (the Atlanta group, not the Canadian group)

Since Leo Kottke never had a group, I didn't have to include him--thank goodness!!
I wouldn't have wanted to try to eliminate one of the others.
