    I like ABBA. I like the Doors.
    Wow, it is a crazy lot of rock bands here!

    I suppose the key idea is in the word: "BAND."

    JCL, this sounds like a great game and thank you for all the work you have done in putting it together!

    I must admit there are a lot of bands that I don't know a lot about, but if I can play and base my votes on what I like to hear, I will gladly join in.

    Just listening to a song on the radio reminded me of Styx. What do you think about them? They were pretty big here.

    So you're doubling the number of bands, that will make things even more interesting!

    Brooke, I'm assuming that your question about Styx was meant for JCL, but I'd like to stick up for them. To me, Styx were one of the best bands to combine prog rock and pop (sorta like Kansas and Supertramp did). I personally think that Styx should be on the list instead of Kansas.

    Styx is a really great band!
    I think they'd be a better choice than Kansas;
    --they all play well, which is a really hard call!

    Great stage personalities, voices, playing, shows.

    I'd like to see Wishbone Ash included other Thin Lizzy (why not both?) but what about Emerson, Lake and Palmer? They may be out of fashion now, but in the 70s they were one of the biggest bands in the world. Who can forget the Moog synthesizer?

    If we keep suggesting bands, this will soon become "The Border's war: battle of the top 100 bands".

    Would that be a bad thing?

    I'm surprised that The Police aren't in the original list. They were far more successful than the majority of the bands listed. I know that record sales isn't the only measure of success but it does show how popular the bands have been over the year. If you look at the following list, you'll find some obvious omissions:

    I think the Grateful Dead should be on the list. Not that I'd really vote for them, but they are considered by many to be a great band and have a cult-like following. Since Don gave them credance in TBOS with seeing a Dead-Head sticker on a Caddy, they must be pretty good.

    If nothing else, this game will highlight what bands reasonate with different parts of the world, since we're a global group, besides different age groups and backgrounds.

    No, it wouldn't, UTW. That's why I made the "tongue sticking out face". It was meant as a joke. Though, if it gets up to 100, JCL will have his hands full!

    I didn't see any bands on that wiki list that were missing, except for Def Leppard. I would've mentioned them myself, but since I went with mentioning Bad Company myself, I didn't.
