TOP TEN LISTS OF THIS & THAT
(Page 1)
| These lists are limited to
classic
rock artists. For my own lists, these are not necessary my
favorite picks,
but ones I feel are the best at what they do. Yes, there is a difference between
the two. But please remember, they are still my
personal lists and just because
an artist that you love isn't listed don't mean that artist isn't great in their own
right. No need to email me and tell me that, I already know it! Listed below is also
Classic Rock fan's picks (as voted on in our Weekly or On Going Classic Rock polls). |
