Don't think they on there...but Star Wars soundtrack is #458 which is weird

Going down this list I can go for the numbers without arguing. Maybe some could be adjusted but we're talking about 500 so keep it as it is. I as a music fan person am glad I saw the group music tours as follows: #1 Pink Floyd Dark Side of the Moon in 1977 at MSG. Great show in the city. #5 Bruce of course at MSG also. Born to Run. Nobody does it like Bruce. #21 Floyd The Wall at Nassau Coliseum. #24 Wish You were Here Floyd at MSG. Pink Floyd #48 Animals again MSG. I saw the Grateful Dead once. They mixed in a lot of songs not consistent with one album. Tom Waits at T he Beacon Theatre. He did a good show. I saw #325 America 1980? at The Garden State Arts Center. They were good.

didn't see these two listed but definitely should belong in that list.

Joy Division vastly underrated band of that decade.
Ian Curtis and Bernard Sumner were the main influence behind my favorite band, the Killers with the brilliant songwriting, front man Brandon Flowers.

Killers are currently touring with the great Johnny Marr (of The Smith's)
Marr is backing vocalist to Flowers on this tour and I am beyond pumped when they come here to the northeast later this year.
This is a once in a lifetime gig to me.

Like mcaulay I'm a big Kiss fan and also music fan in general was surprised to see another of my favorites made the list John Prine at a very high 51 and again later on list!! My biggest surprise I did not see and could have just over looked was Hall and Oats !! Great list across so many genres !!
