70. Morning 10am Update - we have a 3-way tie for first place

Wed Feb 22, 2012, 11:01 AM

Feb 2012

Originally it was Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin battling it out for first place but the Beatles decided to jump into the fray

#1 with 14 votes: Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, The Beatles
#2 with 9 votes: Rolling Stones
#3 with 7 votes: Black Sabbath
#4 with 6 votes: Green Day, U2
#5 with 5 votes: Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band, Metallica, The Clash, The Doors
#6 with 4 votes: The Allman Brothers, The BEach Boys, The Grateful Dead, The Ramones, The Who
#7 with 3 votes: AC/DC, Dire Straits, Elvis Costello & the Attractions, Jimi Hendrix, Jimmy Buffett, King Crimson, Motörhead, Nirvana, Queen, Santana, Steely Dan, Talking Heads.

Now some of these things got lumped together. Example - we had a couple variations of Jimi Hendrix including Jimi Hendrix Experience - it's all Jimmy Hendrix. Crosby Stills & Nash will be lumped with Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young. Stuff like that.
