You can't omit the Bee Gee's from the 1970's.

I can and I will. Pop fodder.

Not a big Brittany Spears fan, but you can't deny her presence in the 00's.

[–] Sarmoviefan26 (1368) 10 months ago

I put her in the 90s.

I decided to put each artist in the decade the were born musically or they debuted. So I got Britney in the 90s list plus she is part of my ultimate top 20 list

[–] [deleted] 10 months ago

Oops. Missed that.

[–] Sarmoviefan26 (1368) 10 months ago

Don’t worry and are you going to make your own list?

Again first separate them by decade you can even make a top 10 for each decade and then sadly just make some cuts for the top 20.
For example spice girls are in my 90s list but didn’t make the cut for the top 20 list.

The late, great Prince would absolutely have to be one of the 80s definers. I have him at #2, only behind Michael Jackson.

Fade into you by Mazzy Star is one of the theme tunes of the 1990s.

There's only one name that belongs on all those lists and that one name is Dewey Cox.
