Anne Top 12 Music

12. The Beatles and The Rolling Stones

I'm not too sure myself, but I do know these guys hit it big through rock. I've always associated the Beatles and the Rolling Stones together, so it was only fitting that they share a place on the list.

11. Pellucid

Mr. Lippstrew. Homegrown and all Fleming. He might not have hit it yet, but I would take him over numerous bands because I know the story behind his music.

10. Owl City

Yes, they are realitively new, but these guys hit it big and real fast. Their hits "Fireflies" and "Vanilla Twilight" flew to the top of the charts in record timing. Maybe they aren't the best, but their progress from nothing to the top is worth number 10.

9. ABBA

I mean come on they're from sweden (or something like that) and America loves them. There's even an entire movie (Mama Mia!) based on their work. Impressive.

8. Santana

Maybe the best guitar player of all time. He works with the best voice match-ups in the business and rocks it.

7. Weezer

Introducing a new style of music. They don't sing about typical love and breaking up, they sing about the craziest stuff. They put it all out there and don't care.

6. Heart

Rocking the 80s, they actually had the voices. What a range! Those two girls could nail high and low. They had the pipes unlike most of today's artists to back up their music.

5. Goo Goo Dolls

Maybe the best sound. As a whole, their music type is my personal favorite. I know if I was actually stuck on an island (Mr. Conn) I'd want as many albums as I could get my hands on.

4. Garth Brooks

Ultimate country star. Who hasn't heard of Garth Brooks, who hasn't heard a Garth Brooks song. The father of all country in my opinion.

3. Eminem

An oxymoron within himself. (No racial prejudice intended) He's a "white" guy owning the business set by a different culture. How many people are influenced by Eminem? You've got to admit he really hits home with a lot of the rap industry.

2. Rise Against

If you've ever looked up a Rise Against song's lyrics you would understand. These people throw more political views in one song than the entire white house can support in one year. They aren't afraid to speak their ideas and they do it all with a great sound.



and here it is...number 1



1. Bon Jovi
They have outlived time! Their first big hit was back in the early 80s and these guys are still selling out shows left and right. There is no defying the impact "Runaway" (their first single) had on listeners, yet they still manage to throw out a new album almost every year. Take a listen to a song, take a look at their fans...you know Bon Jovi is the number 1 band of our time.
