#5 The Beach Boys

I'm lying in bed just like Brian Wilson did.

BTW, the Barenaked Ladies got fucked not being included in the 90's poll.

Well the Beach Boys were really only relevant artistically and commercially for about 3 years- i.e., 1963- 66. In 1967 they suffered the biggest collapse in the history of rock and never regained their critical standing. So this part of the debate is pretty much a tie.

Jimi was in the 101st, was born in Renton and his grave is in Renton. That's good enough for me.

I know Hendrix is going to win. I just want to make sure the BBs get their due.

Good ole DDY, always taking up for the slow strategy underdogs.

With that new knowledge, please to be changing my vote. If a man can't yankoff in the latrine on the US Govt's dime, then nothing is sacred.

I might give a vote for the "Wreaking Crew", but not the Beach Boys.
