You went 0-4 and then mocked the Eagles? Sorry, not playing.

If NSYNC isn't on your list I can't take you serious

He said Bands.....not bubble gum boy choirs.

The Eagles must be included, regardless of who else is there.

Yep, Im still we wondering how someone can have such great taste while completely whiffing on others

How could you possibly have left off Third Eye Blind?
RalphWiggam

Aerosmith, Guns N Roses...

AC/DC, KISS

AC/DC is Australian

Thats how awesome they are, put them on anyway.

KISS?!

Aerosmith, Pearl Jam, CCR?

Now you're talking! Pearl Jam is so much better than Nirvana. Eagles are too.

1/4 ain't bad for your first attempt. Keep trying.
DeekLyfter

Very debatable. The Who >> The Clash.
valleus
7/9/21 3:08pm
The Clash? Lol. Pink Floyd and several others better than them.
Jdoc
7/9/21 3:08pm
Pink Floyd? He said it can’t be named after a band member.
bluesloth
7/9/21 3:42pm
Are you being serious? If so, Pink Floyd is not the name of a band member.
Jdoc
7/9/21 3:48pm
So one member is Pink and another Floyd?
bluesloth
7/9/21 3:50pm
Nope.
Jdoc

More recent options...
Avery

Agree with Beach Boys. But how could R.E.M. not be on that list?
Tortoise

Aerosmith, Metallica

Aerosmith has like 2 good rock songs and then a bunch of pop songs with guitar.

Queen is miles ahead of the Clash

London Calling from The Clash is one of the greatest records of all time.

Eagles, Skynyrd, Van Halen, Aerosmith.

I think putting The Clash on the list is very debatable. Why do they get in
BYUMizzou
7/9/21 3:09pm
Queen is referencing Freddy Mercury, one guy, so it fails the criteria
Carnac
7/9/21 3:14pm
Not really. They changed the name of the Band from Smiles to Queen when Mercury joined but it wasn't referencing him
scall
7/9/21 3:19pm
Oh. I thought I was making a joke. I guess not.

I dear. I offended SoCalCoug who gets offended at everything
Carnac
7/9/21 3:31pm
I was kidding.
SoCalCoug
7/9/21 3:43pm
On the American list, I'd put GnR, Aerosmith, Nirvana, and ... the Beach Boys
BYUMizzou
7/9/21 3:14pm
Agreed, British list: The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Queen
dazcoug
7/9/21 4:08pm
Well, you're about half right half the time. Great taste and lousy taste all wrapped up in one.
Hank Rearden
7/9/21 3:10pm
Almost have to go by genre and era. Can't deny The Clash's influence

Good call on the Beach Boys. Even if you don't like them their influence on

Eagles, Tom Petty & HB, Beach Boys, Nirvana
Joe Banks

How did you leave Flock of Seagulls off of the British Mt. Rushmore?
Carnac

Beach Boys.

Beach Boys, Doors, Aerosmith, and...

Red Hot Chili Peppers, Guns N Roses, Pearl Jam, and The Strokes.

RHCP is a joke band. "Hey, let's make another song about California."

I can't stop. I'm addicted to the shindig.

Anyone who doesn't include Metallica on their list is a non-serious person. Get real, non-metallica fans.

Pre-Black album Metallica is a terrific band.

The Clash over Pink Floyd? SMH

A British rock band Mt. Rushmore is much harder to define, for sure

Beach Boys, Van Halen, Eagles, Nirvana.

All game changers so I tend to agree
pegushin

Guns N Roses, Metallica, Blink 182, Nirvana

7/9/21 3:18pm
I think 3 of those 4 would be good options...um there's one outlier
Avery

Yeah Blink is probably a personal preference. Good call.

Inventing something doesn't make you the best at it.

Oh yeah, well I invented your face
Homo Erectus
7/9/21 3:25pm
Temptations were a vocal group. Should they count as a "band?"
lightmann
7/9/21 3:23pm
Fair question
Homo Erectus
7/9/21 3:24pm
If you're disallowing The Temptations, then I'll replace them with NWA.
Homo Erectus
7/9/21 3:33pm
Not a fan by any means, but NWA probably deserves a spot on there.

By the way, this has to be the WHITEST thread in CB history

Darn tooting. I keep my powder dry for the important talk.

It's music, everything is debatable. Beatles, Stones, LZ and Pink Floyd
neboutefan
7/9/21 3:23pm
Beach Boys, Aerosmith, Nirvana, Parliament Funkadelic
SoCalCoug
7/9/21 3:23pm
Parliament is an actually intriguing choice as they are game changers

How do you leave Queen off of the British list and then say "not debatable"?!?

Earth Wind and Fire, O'Jays, Spinners, Parliament

For me, Nirvana doesn’t have a large enough discography.

People mocking the inclusion of The Clash seem to have different ideas of what gets you on Mt. Rushmore

What about Country, R&B, Blues, Rap, Pop, BlueGrass, etc? But yeah, if they’re taking Teddy Rs spot, I guess so.

Yeah the whole exercise becomes much harder if we’re including any and all genres (why not Jazz, too?)
