All good picks. Nobody included Jefferson Airplane! Saw a genre compilation CD the other day - don't remember the particulars, but included New Riders of the Purple Sage doing Panama Red?
The commercial is over and the ans. to the question: Johnny Mathias; greatest hits.Thriller did over 40 mil,just not first to 10mil, but the record. DSOM holds- longest time continously listed in the top 200; over 10 years.(imagine that)I didn't give enough thought to my list and left out Pink Floyd,and Neil.I don't care for anything before DSOM,but EVERYTHING since. More triv.Barbara holds the record for most cont.LP releases with over 500,000 sales-I think that is her whole catalog Source:Billboard mag&from Casey Casem's radio show. All this and 25 cents should get me enough for a local call.Thanks,Shub.-Great thread,sorry for intruding a bit
