Poll of Top 5 American bands

Heard on the radio yesterday about some poll asking people their Top 5 American rock n' roll bands of all-time..here was the results.

1.) Bruce Springsteen

2.) Aerosmith

3.) Nirvana

4.) The Ramones

5.) Metallica

I know what you are saying..oh really??..yeah me too. I can understand Springsteen and Aerosmith but the rest is like no way..The Ramones???..makes me laugh. ZZ Top, the Eagles, the Doors, Van Halen,Tom Petty, Jimmy Hendrix. etc. left off.

The Band--"Saw them'" at the Summer Jam @ Watkens Glen July 28, 1973..I got there the Friday before, but so did about half of the 600,000 that got there for the day that Saturday. By the time I got there I was far away from the stage.

Robbie Robertson, on the list of my all time fave Gutiarists.

Joni Mitchell-I saw her with the L A Express at Tanglewood in Lenox, Mass, around 1971-

Ian and Sylvia-Ian Tyson wrote "Four Strong Winds" That Neil Young and The Band do on '"The Last W altz " Box Set

Neil Young-I saw him when he was with Buffalo Springfield in my birthplace, Hartford, CT..Also in The Springfielfd-Stephen Stills, Richie Furey.

Rush-Stil on my must see list

1-Phish

2-Allman Bros Band--with Duane Allman

3-Grateful Dead

4-Eagles, With Randy Meisner.Origional members. Without Joe Walsh

5-Little Feat With Lowell George.

I've seen each of these groups, with their origional personell, live.

FYI-Jackson Browne, helped to write "Take it Easy."; as well as writing the song " Of Missing Persons." In memory of Lowell George, when he passed away.

Of course, I just saw Phish 3 years ago.
