How about some subtractions? Perhaps I'm being a little cruel but I find myself unable to agree with anything on this list except maybe Poco. However, I realize that everyone is entitled to their opinion so I'll provide mine to be the the subject of your comments, criticisms, flames, etc. I think that a few particularly memorable groups of the past two decades were (in no special order): Jethro Tull Pink Floyd Deep Purple America The Police Credence Clearwater Revival Three Dog Night Blue Oyster Cult Alan Parsons Project Styx Paul McCartney & Wings Eric Clapton Queen The Rolling Stones The Moody Blues Tom Uffner tom%UDel-cc-vax1.Delaware@UDel-louie.ARPA And what is good, Phaedrus; And what is not good? Need we ask anyone to tell us these things?
