Wow, most of those were obvious.

Mick Fleetwood and John McVie should have made this list, but then that means the compilers would have actually had to have heard of them.
Why did Salvador Dali cross the road?
Clocks.

...just when you thought it was impossible to have a more inane top ten list than Rolling Stone, Gibson comes along and shows them how it's really done!

"At Gibson.com, we simply can’t get enough of that cascading cannon-style drum sound, and little competes with a flawlessly executed, funky slap-and-pop bassline."

Well, that sure explains Jack and Meg White.  :rolleyes:

It may also help explain why Gibson is so clueless when it comes to bass.

At least I've heard of some of the bands....

They apparently think it's still 1990.  :-\

1990 would also fit in with the Novoselic sig bass and the look of the cheap new Epi/Tobias Toby models.

That would be why Duck Dunn doesn't play a Gibson.

Would that be why there's no bassist in that band?

+1. Here's my rule for that kind of situations: for any given female musician, the sum of boobs and talent remains constant.
Music was better when ugly people were allowed to make it.
