Nothing from Sun, Stax, or Motown???
Snoop Dogg beats out Chuck Berry???
Surprised so many hip-hop acts made the list, VERY surprised they acknowledged so many black acts as well.
I was expecting to see, Born to be Wild, Born in the USA, some BTO, etc.
So I am happy with the list.
Your tax dollars at work. Agree with the list or not, I can't believe I'm subsidizing this kind of twaddle.
