Oh yes! OH YES!

Only four post into this thread and Finch Platte has brought up from the past one of the greatest Rock and Roll performers ever. Jerry Lee Lewis would have been at the top of the class if not for some unfortunate choices in marrying his very young cousin. That put the skids on his career. This is "Rock and Roll." at it greatest.

Of course I have to mention the greatest pop/rock group of all time, The Beatles. There are a number of choices and it is almost impossible to decide. So I'll list three of my favorites:

... A Hard Day's Night

... Help

... Abbey Road

Sugar Beats listed her criteria as: "Based on excellence, sustainabilty, context."

100 years from now no one will even know the name Pearl Jam. However, many, many of the songs that McCartney and Lennon wrote will still be covered by different types of musical groups from classical to jazz to pop/rock. These two prolific songwriters wrote song after song after song that have lasting memorable melodies, the true test of time.
