@Bridger a shocking lack of Beach Boys. And here I thought you lot were civilized

Tago Mago

@mclaincausey Westlife and Ed Sheeran have 14 each, that's worse than the Beach Boys not making the list. Not to mention Aqua, Steps and McFly... I didn't even know Aqua had more than one song

Bridger

No AC/DC, Zeppelin, Hendrix, James Brown or Bowie, but thankfully Nickelback are representing

Jett129

I’m surprised that the Kinks and The Dave Clark 5 didn’t make the list.

Bridger

@Jett129 said in Music:

the Kinks

Good shout.

The Cure, the Smiths and Depeche Mode

Jett129

@Bridger I google it and The Kinks,apparently, did have 3 number ones in the UK...You Really Got Me,Tired of Waiting,and Sunny Afternoon. Also looked up SLADE,and they had 6 number 1 hits in the UK. Sorry,I keep thinking of bands that should've been included on the list. T-Rex had 4
