The Rolling Stones #7 of the 80's ???!!!
What have they done good during this decade ?
If I had to make a list of my favorite artists of the 80's, I would place Talk Talk at #1.
You remember the Rolling Stones, don't you? They had that big hit with "Too Shy" ... Oh, wait, that was Kajagoogoo, never mind.
Seriously, cool list, but I would replace the Stones, Dylan and Blondie with Minutemen, the Replacements and Husker Du. Also, I'd place R.E.M in the top seven.
Ahh Shit, my apologies, I guess I forgot The Replacements. Put them at #13. The Rolling Stones did however release "Tattoo You," which was wasn't too bad. I'm not switching them.
