I don't really like Jim Morrison's voice and their songs use organs a bit much for my taste. Touch Me is rockin', though.

17. Muddy Waters I respect Muddy Waters much more than I enjoy listening to Muddy Waters' songs.
If anyone has a Muddy Waters' song on repeat play, please let me know and I'll give that song another try.

I hate to give the ax to Janis Joplin (#46), considering that we only have two female acts left. But, while she belongs on a Top 100 artist, Joplin feels more like "76-100" artist and we are down to around 40.
