Fixed as per rules. I want a range of music if I'm stuck listening to just 26.
you've still got Dire Straits there though which I'm imagining is the soundtrack they play in hell.
In the waiting rooms and elevators in hell.

@MN5 some bands have just had too much radio airplay to ever make my list even though they've made quite a few other peoples.
I would rather eat shit than listen to a playlist that went Money For Nothing / Stairway to Heaven / With Or Without You

You don't have to have it on repeat and self flagellate.

Stairway to Heaven is a song I hate but it's from what I'd consider the greatest Rock band of all time who have done loads of other songs of utter brilliance.
Dire Straits is just bland, boring soft rock which is shit. I hate Knopflers voice and dreary songs.....yeah, let's all wear sneakers and headbands and do the "Walk of Life".......

ZzzIf you are doing prog you’ll need Dream Theater instead of Dire Straits, Yes instead of Yanni, Emerson Lake and Palmer instead of Enya. You’ll also need Iron Butterfly, Van der Graf Generator, Curved Air, Gong, (The) Nice, Marillion, Tangerine Dream, Soft Machine and Ozric Tentacles. No idea about Q though. Queen is a bit of a stretch for prog rock.
-
@dogmeat I prefer Eno, but ELP are pretty much the very definition of prog IMO. Anybody pretentious enough to cover Mussorgsky, Gershwin, Bach and Parry and put them unselfconsciously alongside their own Benny the Bouncer and Still You Turn Me On clearly believes the self to be a Serious Artist.
Never heard Quango.Sounds awful.

Right, about time. Taking a stab but not locking it in. My main concern here is the distinct lack of cheesy 80's (toying with Roxette instead of Otis, but that might require Roy Orbison instead of Offspring). I know I know, no RHCP.
