This is one of those lists that seems completely oblivious to the last twenty-five years of music. Geezers would cite that as one of its strengths, but I think there's been some great music since the Reagan years. Oh well. Would function better as a list of greatest music prior to 1980 and as a decided non-fan of The Doors or Journey or Elton John I give it an objective 'B.'
