Its understandable cos 80s music was seen as a joke by most people in the mid 90s. Cheesy rubbish.

Theres prince obviously in there but I think that mostly reflects that its an american list. I dont think Prince became properly cool again until a bit later

Prince was not cool to me at least in 1995, everyone thought it was cheesy

Yeah I know i used to read it. It was a good magazine. I dont even really remember much steely dan in there, which is why i thought it was a bit weird.

Steely dan to me are like aerosmith or tom petty or van halen or peter frampton or KISS. They just weren't on the radar over here. I literally never heard them.

The beatles revival in the 90s was absolutely massive. I didnt ever really hear them in the 80s when I was a kid but by the mid 90s they were unavoidable again

If Kurt Cobain had lived I'm not sure Nirvana wouldn't be making music that sounded like Foo Fighters or Nickelback.
Like, the Nirvana stuff I'm familiar with is obviously the personal sound of a troubled frontman, and the tone of the chorus'd guitars is incredible, but it's a real tightrope being walked along isn't it.

Their current all time list wouldn't look much different to that.
You can't help but admire the sheer doggedness, an infinite capacity for writing about Bowie/Hendrix/Zeppelin/Beatles/Paul Weller. They have about 20 cover stars who are just in constant rotation, it's amazing.
