Maybe so, and it should probably at least be a little higher on the 1992 albums list. The '90s albums list is probably what I'll work on next after I finish updating the '70 songs list.

ManPerson is now the editor of this list.

The changes that were made are "Africa" replacing the extra "Personal Jesus" listing, and Madonna's "Material Girl" replacing "Express Yourself".

Some others which may fall under the criteria above:

Herb Alpert & the Tijuana Brass
Paul Anka
Harry Belafonte
Bread
The Captain and Tennille
Adriano Celentano
Petula Clark
Bill Conti
Nat King Cole
Natalie Cole
Perry Como
Celia Cruz
Bobby Darin
John Denver
Celine Dion
Steve Earle
Béla Fleck and ...

One possible way

xx. Jimi Hendrix (incl. The Jimi Hendrix Experience; Band of Gypsies)

xxx. Jeff Beck (incl. The Jeff Beck Group)


If you do this, there are quite a few similar examples;

Neil Young (incl. Neil Young & Crazy Horse)

Tom Petty (incl. Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers)

Elvis ...

I would list Butler separately, because he was only with The Impressions at the very beginning.

I'm almost finished with an update of the Rock Songs of the 1970's list. Here's how I expect Elton's songs on that list will rank when I'm finished:

1. Your Song
2. Rocket Man
3. Tiny Dancer
4. Bennie and the Jets
5. Goodbye Yellow Brick Road
6. Crocodile Rock

I'm wondering if the #4 placement of ...

Here's a possibility for the '90s list:

Have You Seen Her - The Chi-Lites (1971) | MC Hammer (1990)

It may or not be worthy of the list, but the remake was a top 5 hit and went gold in the US.

Not too shuure about it, Dominoes strike me as clearly more influential as you have to credit large part of Clyde McPhatters influence (#12 on Sampson's list) to them. Then there's Sixty Minute Man, one of the earliest rock crossover successes and their reputation as the top rock act of the early ...

Sampson, on Spontaneous Lunacy:

"Roy Brown’s vocal prowess, stylistic versatility, deep song catalog and massive influence along with his immeasurable impact for coming up with the components of rock in the first place and spreading the sound to masses with hit after hit in its formative years ...

Yes, I'm pretty sure that will be #1.

Thanks Zach, and good catch. Fortunately, I was able to fix it before Lew saw my message, so now I won't need to send him another message to correct it.

I sent the list to Lew. I plan on my next film list to be a greatest dark comedies list, but I might work on a music list before I complete that one.

C'mon, WHO? What was the big soft rock album before their debut in 1972?
Tapestry and Sweet Baby James

Agreed, and I think Elton John's Honky Chateau, released 2 weeks before Eagles self-titled and a bigger album, qualifies too. Maybe also Paul Simon's solo debut. But as I recall, Sampson ...

I'm pretty happy with the outcome for the main performers. My only real regret is that they didn't induct Mariah. If they had inducted her instead of Billy idol, it would have been a near perfect outcome for the ballot that they were given.


I concur here. This is a quite terrific class with a ...
