Would vote for The Killers in an "alternative" category..but not in synth pop...hence they didn't get a vote from me.

I tend to consider it synth pop only when the keyboards/electronics are the predominant instrument and I don't think that's the case with Flowers and company...

1) BOB DYLAN (gets over because I usually like at least 1 track on anything I’ve heard of his..U2 is spottier IMHO) 2) U2 3) FIONA APPLE 4) GARTH BROOKS (mostly on the strength of his 1st 3 albums) 5) NEIL YOUNG (still have a lot of his albums yet to hear) 6) CROSBY, STILLS AND NASH 7) PINK FLOYD (I...

Yeah I don't really list Franz Ferdinand among "synth pop" either.

Here's my 5:

1) Depeche Mode
2) Soft Cell
3) Pet Shop Boys
4) Eurythmics
5) Erasure

My 5

1) SLY AND THE FAMILY STONE
2) FUNKADELIC
3) JAMES BROWN
4) WAR
5) BARRY WHITE

Though I’m too late to fit into the rankings, I’m offering my list for the heck of it. I used the artist’s 80s output as my criterion so though I like Pat Benatar a bit more than it would appear, my most favored stuff is primarily 70s era so it hurts her. I’m doing this based on memory so if I’ve li...

I have to confess being unfamiliar with a decent number of these. Even those I am familiar with are more “singles” artists for me than album artists (I.e. The Lemonheads with the exception of the great album IT’S A SHAME ABOUT RAY.)

1) Cake
2) Weezer
3) Pearl Jam
4) The Lemonheads
5) Foo Fighters

17 - Alabama A little disappointing...I don't really consider them "traditional" country, more of the beginning of the contemporary sound. They had quite a few pop crossovers back in the day and it's not hard to hear why in my opinion. Not denigrating pop, just saying they veered frequent...

I'm not sure I'd considered THE GASLIGHT ANTHEM "punk" but I do like them.

Here's my 5:

1) The Clash
2) The Ramones
3) Green Day
4) Television
5) The Offspring

Although I really like traditional country I still feel like somewhat of a novice so this list could very well change quite a bit in the next 5 years. Here's how I esteem them at the moment: 1 JOHNNY CASH 2) WILLIE NELSON 3) BUCK OWENS 4) HANK WILLIAMS 5) GEORGE JONES Just outside the 5: CONWAY TWIT...

I would go as far as calling myself a Monkees "fan" and own a pretty good dollop of their material (box set/HEADQUARTERS/HEAD/JUSTUS/several others). I admit much of what they released was pretty lightweight fluff but their best stuff is holding up as well as a lot of the pop from that day...

I can't recall WHEN I was introducted to "Sinnerman" but I'm sure it was on the recommendation of someone in this forum. I only know that it's growing in my esteeem with each airing. I could see it becoming one of my all-time favorite tracks given enough time. The Lal Waterson track isn't ...
