Thanks for your list, eclectic..I'm unfamiliar w/6-7 of them. Fun exercise eh?
50 yrs of hearing music & I've come to this conclusion (thus far, but subject to change after the Top8). 1-8 are locked in & I don't anticipate any band displacing them. I've taken into account:
(in no particular order/value)
peak
volume(s) of unreleased/ rarities/outtakes/sessions/demos etc.
lyrics & their meaning; theme of instrumentals/LP. what message are they trying to send us?
overall vibe & coolness factor
sing-a-long ability of a song(s)
longevity
impact on culture & current/future generations
impact on music industry
# of hits
# of good & great LP's/CD's
