PiL close to Bauhaus makes sense but so would Procol Harum close to BS&T, Kansas or Iron Butterfly.

I could see Procol Harum between Kings of Leon and Blue Cheer.

Not sure Olivia needs to be ahead of Billie, Future and Lorde, but it's also just a few spots so I don't feel too strongly about that.

Otherwise, I like it.

[Tim]

Forgot to mention but gave bumps to Childish Gambino (strong combo of acclaim and popularity, generous placement on the 2010s list) and Maroon 5 (strong popularity plus generous placement on the 2010s list).

[Tim]

Shakira
Ed Sheeran
Sigur Rós
Siouxsie and the Banshees
Sister Sledge
Sleater-Kinney
Percy Sledge
(Small) Faces
Elliott Smith
Huey "Piano" Smith & His Clowns

I'd add Mitski to the list of contenders.

RIP Kavinsky & Glen Hansard.
