Click on the button which looks like a world with a paperclip below it. It will insert a hyperlink. And now you have 15 posts, you can do that.

Marc Bolan did just as much with this single video and song, than David Bowie ever achieved with one song.

Shame he died four years before MTV even existed. Then people might not ask "WHO?" every time Marc Bolan comes up in conversational context.

Odd to see Stones, Hendrix and Cream/Clapton missing. What about Van Halen? No one may like the flamboyant sunset striprock that ensued ... But they certainly popped it open.

As for Metallica, I might be biased, but I'm not sure they should be so low.

GnR?

Kuddos to Marc Bolan ref ... 20th Century Boy is an all time riff classic.

Muse? Easily the best band ever to come out of Teignmouth, and better than any from nearby Exeter, so they can certainly be granted the status of "Devon Echelons", but earth? I think that's a bit like saying Hamilton Academical are one of the world's best football clubs. They bash up in Glasgow, but won't really be in the same sort of league as Barcelona.
