Speaking of Queen, yesterday I watched/listened to their Greatest Hits Vol. 1 2xDVD set. Wholly cow!!! All their biggest hits are mixed in DTS sound and will make your head spin. The sound just sparkled and there were a lot of layers and sounds that I've never heard before on some of the songs. If you like Queen and have a decent surround system, you must go pick up this DVD. There's band commentary on the first 16 tracks and a 20 minute documentary with Brian May on the construction of Bohemian Rhapsody. Very interesting stuff.
Even though the Greatest Hits Vol. 2 isn't as hit heavy, it too is mixed in DTS (and 5.1) and will be purchased on the way home tonight.

Ok. I'll bite into this one.
MSN's list:
1. The Beatles
2. Rolling Stones
3. U2
4. The Grateful Dead
5. Velvet Underground
6. Led Zeppelin
7. The Ramones
8. Pink Floyd
9. Bob Marley and the Wailers
10. Sly and the Family Stone
My comments:
Right off the bat with out even having to think about it I've got to ask why
Queen is not on this list.
I would think if the list is about groups, I think you should only consider
groups that are really groups with full and unique contributions from all
members. I'm not interested in listing them if they are just a couple of core
members with revolving side men. So here goes:
Since you can only list 10 Velvet Underground, Ramones,Marley and Sly gotta
go.
You gotta add in Queen, The Band, The Who, The Eagles
So my list of 10 groups with full and unique contributions from all members:
I won't rank them because I think you can make an arguement for each of them
and they are each unique compared to the others on my list.
Gene's List:
The Beatles
Rolling Stones
U2
The Grateful Dead
Led Zeppelin
Pink Floyd
Queen
The Band
The Eagles
The Who
