What about The Froggs? They did "Wild Thing"! No, wait - that was the Troggs. My bad! How embarassing! I'm going for a swim and try to forget this mistake I just made. Ribbit-t-t (SPLASH)doh

I think the scorpions had a lot to do with what music is today they had balance in their genre and they could go,up against anybody and in those days. They had to compete with big bands aprilwine,blacksabbath. , Ratt,

the beatles yes a very big influence but there is only 10 spots to fill there is many bands i would like to have put in there.Alice in Chains were probably the main ones but I put Nirvana in there coz they got it more well known though Alice in Chains is still quite known aswell. As for the Bee Gees dude there a aussie band so thats cool and they did have a few good songs but disco came and went too fast to mention.

uuuuhhh not bad but I believe your missing the Beatles they basically put rock on the map in america so they should be #1, and although Nirvana is one of my fav bands i think Alice in Chains had the biggest impact on the grunge movement.... so, sorry bout your Buckhead banger head banger head banger
