If you could only keep the records of 20 bands or acts who would they be?I'd have to start with The Beatles (MUST include solo albums as well) and Sinatra, (which MUST include both albums with Antonio Carlos Jobim!) Steely Dan (MUST include Donald Fagen's "The Nightfly") Andrew Gold (Andrew was just so damn talented and his albums will always be favorites of mine, especially "All This & Heaven Too") Electric Light Orchestra (MUST include Jeff Lynne's unbelievable "Armchair Theatre"!) Nitty Gritty Dirt Band (MUST include their "various artists" album "Will The Circle Be Unbroken") Chris Rice (I honestly couldn't live without Chris' brilliant "Smell The Color 9" album, as it's an overlooked masterpiece to me) Rupert Holmes (There is truly lots more than "Escape" (The Pina Colada Song to this great singer/songwriter!) Elton John (It's just such a wealth of a catalog, even though there are naturally a few duds in there) The 4 Seasons (Whom I love, but again, I couldn't live without their classic "The Genuine Imitation Life Gazette" album!) Yes Beatles Genesis blink-182 Slipknot Kenny G Black Sabbath Saxon mewithoutYou The National The Smiths Ramones Sex Pistols Jimi Hendrix R.E.M. Radiohead U2 Between the Buried and Me Sade Johann Sebastian Bach If picking a composer is cheating, replace Bach with Sum 41

Yeah, some totally white lists there, as expected. There is an altnernative list of 20 white people indluding fair few white women though. It's more an HR department equivalent.
Here is another poat that sums up a good portion of them.

They forgot Crosby & Nash, Stills-Young Band, Neil Young & Crazy Horse, The Hollies, and Manassas. At least this person didn't waste any picks on Eric Clapton related projects.

Was that renny the teacher's list? The words are correctly capitalised, so I’m going to guess it’s not him.

I don't even need 20. I got this right here.
Foghat Eric Clapton (he only knows three lead licks, but I guess he does the best he can) Gentle Giant Pablo Cruise Ted Nugent (the Nooge, baby!)
Grand Funk Railroad Seals & Crofts Steely Dan Rupert Holmes (Piña Colada, motherfuckas!) Orleans (Dance wit Me, baby) Grateful Dead (far out, dude...) E.A.G.L.E.S.
Suck on it.

No, no, no. It's actually "do wop diddy wop diddy wop doo." That's the real deal. You see the difference? Here y' go.

a lot of people think they did that by running the tape backwards but if you listen carefully paul davis is actually ah fuck that doesn't even make sense anyhow rock and roll was simple and clear that's the point.

Would love to see the following thread up there. Which token black artist is in your 99.% white collection? [shite] Hey, I have Deja Vu and there's a black guy on the cover! He's either Taylor or Reeves, I don't remember which or what he played. I used to have a Jimi Hendrix record but he just comes across as a second-rate Clapton wannabe to me. [/shite]
