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.
...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.

Plus, Meg White is an awful drummer!

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

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

You're watching the wrong vibrating orbs with her. ;) Them puppies keep good time.
not every band wants or needs a bass player.

+1. Here's my rule for that kind of situations: for any given female musician, the sum of boobs and talent remains constant.

yeah, the shaggs! so ahead of their time! :mrgreen:
The people who claim the Shaggs were making some kind of avant garde music were either being facetious or else were the kind of folks who would buy an empty canvas because an "artist" told them it represented something deep.
they were just plain bad, but charming in a sad sort of way. :-[

Maybe daddy did, but unfortunately they still won't go away, thanks to those who somehow think they were brilliant.
It also rankles me when I read that they were the first all-female rock and roll band to play their own instruments. They certainly weren't the first, they couldn't play their instruments and the "music" they played wasn't any recognizable form of popular music.
Maybe daddy paid off some DJs too. That song did get played on at least one Chicago radio station.
But then, that was back when LSD was at the hieght of it's popularity too.
some info here from a record geek. i think they pressed 1,000 lps that wound up getting 'lost'. the few that survived are worth a bunch. it was reissued a couple times over the years. just my 2 cents.
