Top 10 Favorite Recording Artists

[SherriBerry]

Hmmm - bottom half could be replaced on any given day but here goes:

1. INXS (with <<<-----)
2. Queen
3. Guess Who/Burton Cummings solo (cheating so I can get an extra one in)
4. Journey (with SP)
5. Colin James
6. Three Dog Night
7. Eric Clapton
8. The Grass Roots
9. Boston
10. Heart

I wanted to listen to Queen again, so I pulled up the Live Aid performance on YouTube - damn, Freddie Mercury was amazing. How many performers today can play live to an audience of 85,000 plus millions of viewers on TV and be phenomenal?

None - then or now (you need to borrow my Live Aid DVD or one of my Queen DVD's to really appreciate how he could command an audience) . And speaking of commanding, this guy did a pretty good job too. :

Heck yeah!! One band I wish I would have seen LIVE with Hutch.

I can't believe I'm a child of the 80s, but I missed out on so much! My hometown was a great place to grow up, but it was in the middle of nowhere, so I missed out on going to concerts in Vancouver and Calgary. The exception was when Bryan Adams came there and played an outdoor concert that drew thousands of people from all over - that was awesome!

Abbotsford's not exactly in the middle of nowhere - 40 miles from Vancouver. Of course the only thing it's famous for these days is drugs, gangs (especially the Bacon Brothers - and no, not those Bacon Brothers) and murders.

The only musician I like are the ones that stick to music, you know....the vessel that got them famous, and then don't go into politics. They start going into politics and advertizing their political views, that's when their records, (and cds) hit the asphault at amazing speeds.
