Music Appreciation
Showing Original Post only (View all)A Challenge! . . . for all you music aficionados . . . [View all]
The Challenge:
In your opinion, who were the five most influential recording artists of the 20th century?
influential meaning both musically and culturally , , ,
Caution #1: Just because AC/DC (or whomever) is your favorite group doesn't mean they (or he, or she) qualify . . .
Caution#2: If your selections include the likes of John Denver, the Osmonds and/or the Starland Vocal Band, you may wish to move on to a less challenging challenge . . .
I, or course, will reveal THE definitive list later on . . . (imho, of course) . . .
Have fun . . . and thanks for playing . . .
