| The absence of CCR is also dubious - especially when the Eagles are included. The Dude would not approve. And surely they are more immortal than, say, Carl Perkins, who basically has one famous song. And including Miles Davis is just ridiculous tokenism - either you consider jazz, in which case you'd really have to include at least twenty or thirty musicians, or you exclude it and don't waste a spot pretending like you aren't completely ignoring the genre. If jazz musicians count, how can you justify not including Coltrane or Mingus, or whatever. If jazz musicians don't count, why are you wasting a spot on Miles Davis. The same more or less applies to country, where you have Hank Williams and Johnny Cash and nobody else, but at least country was closely tied to early rock and roll. Anyway, classic Rolling Stone. |
