Do you ever wonder?


Do you ever wonder why some artists (individuals or groups) attain success through critical acclaim and/or record (cd) sales?

Here is my list of those who have made it in the recording/entertainment industries and is completely puzzling to me.

Please list your own; it's irrelevant what you think of mine.

OK, here you go (in no particular order):

Sheryl Crow
Norah Jones
Michael Bolton
Celine Dion
Joe Cocker
Manhattan Transfer
Boston
Rickie Lee Jones
Pink
Phil Collins

That's enough to get started; show me what you got.
audiofeil
Coldplay...good but not that good. Just about anything out today in pop music or should I say poop music. Barry Manilow, BeeGees, and just about every country artist out there. Too many to list.
The first three are in order. The rest are a tie.

1 John Lennon solo
2 Paul McCartney solo
3 The Eagles

Kansas,Styx,Bruce Springsteen(everything after Darkness on the Edge of Town), Phil Collins, Billy Joel, Elton(everything after Yellow Brick Road) Rod Stewart (most everything after Every Picture) J Tull (everything after Minstrel in the Gallery), The Who (most everything after K Moon died), and finally, The Stones, (eveything after Tatoo You).
Geez...I could go on and on however...to add to short list
