Re: WCBSFM - America's Top 101 Songs of the '60s/'70s/'80s
It may not be the biggest hits, but any list with, for instance, Journey doing that well... makes it questionable. The band is now in the Rock Hall, but it took a number of years and critics never loved them.

Well yeah. These definitely aren’t for the Kate Bush crowd.JR wrote:It may not be the biggest hits, but any list with, for instance, Journey doing that well... makes it questionable. The band is now in the Rock Hall, but it took a number of years and critics never loved them.
