Has there been a list o crap for the top 50 greatest rock bands?

[Tripe]

Yep

[gojikranz]

Yep

id be up for a redo on that one as i wasnt around then and it doesnt have any of my top 5 bands in it!
or maybe an album based list singles are lameeee.

if 80s wins I won't be able to think of 25. really. i think there are only 5 songs i like from the 80s---well "singles" anyway.

Go the other way about it then.  Think of your favorite bands that were around in the 80's and search for them on allmusic.com (for US chart info) and everyhit.com (for UK chart info).  You might be able to find enough tracks that way to fill out your list.

Several songs on my list are gonna be from my two favorite 80's bands, that have only had 1 big hit song here in the States between them (but a ton of top 40 songs in the UK.)  So that is the way I will be able to work around the fact that my favorite band and my 2 favorite songs by that band didn't chart here in the States.  They were smashs in the UK.

I can imagine for some of the younger people on this board, the 80's list will be tough since they just weren't around back then (Or if they were around, they weren't aware of Top 40 radio.). But on the other hand, a 60's singles list would be easy for me and I'm sure a few others of my age range.

A top Rock Albums of the 80's (or any decade for that matter) would be fun too.  Somebody should suggest that next time.

So far, I've got 19 songs on my list -  12 of them charted in the UK only.  4 in the US only. And 3 charted in both.

I'm sure I'll think of tons of other songs and be tweaking this list all the way up until the deadline.

I lived in Germany from 86-88 and could pick up Radio Luxembourg at night from where I lived.  (Anybody else here ever listen to that back then?)  So I heard all the hit UK songs from that era.  It was a godsend too, as the Armed Forces radio was dull, and the German radio stations (while cool) were in German.

Do you know of any websites that have Canadian chart info?  I'd like to check that out if you do.

Sorry, brain fart. Top 50 greatest rock ALBUMS. As there been one for that? I remember the rock band one cause Oasis is on it, which suprised me greatly (I mean I like Oasis, but....)

[Rattrap007]

80s isn't too bad of one... Especially since that is the main music i listen too...

[RVR II]

Yeah, I grew up in the 'Reagen 80's' so this will be fun for me

Have you contributed to a list before? I don't remember seeing your name up here...it'll be exciting to have you on board though.  Just think of the emoticons!

I think I contributed to a list once a while back (a movie list or a something.. I can't recall) but yeah, I'll be participating in this one

[Smoky]

Here's a list of all the weekly top 40 in the US:

You can navigate around and find the other years.

Awesome! Thank you. But so many to choose from now.

I've found one surprise so far--a tune I thought was an '80s classic in fact peaked in late '79, so it's off the eligibility list.  Farewell, Buggles.

TRIBUTE!!!
