I stole the idea from Imus.
There are but 4 faces on the Mount, but we'll allow a fifth in honor of the great Oglala Lakota warrior Crazy Horse, whose monument has been under construction since 1948 ! Groups or solo, and comments and observations are welcome.

The Beatles
Bob Dylan
The Kinks
Howlin' Wolf
Miles Davis

The lack of speed on the Crazy Horse monument is mostly due to the fact that they refuse to take government funding...and good for them on that because that also avoids most government interference with their ultimate vision.

As for mine, I like John's...

Sinatra
Elvis
Chuck Berry
Beatles
Bob Dylan

...mostly because it takes into account their influence on so many others as well as their crossover ability.

Mine is weird. :)

Howlin' Wolf
Bo Diddley
Chuck Berry
The Smiths
Rolling Stones

Unless I could make a Blues one and a rock one seperately:
Wolf
Bukka White
Bo Diddley
Son House
Lightnin Hopkins

The Smiths
Stones
Berry
Elvis
Nine Inch Nails

Of course some names change regularly, just like a top 10 list of favorite artists. :)

Wouldn't the inclusion of entire bands cause the Mount to have more than five faces?

You could do this. :lol: (That's all 4 Beatles morphed into one face)

(Joe Jackson, Bob Marley and the members of Yes, The Who, Rush and Del Amitri are all scowling at me for not including them, but I'm sure they'll get over it).

Five is impossible for me. Gaping holes in Mount Rushmore and it will crumble. :( I'll try:

The Beatles
Brian Wilson
The Move (and family)
The Small Faces
Big Star

With ten, I could probably manage a list that felt like it covered all the bases. There are later artists who are derivative of the above, but are more meaningful to me personally.

I just realized I should have included Rush on my list so I could call it Mount RUSHmore. Guess I'll call it Mount ZEPmore instead.

I have to admit when i first saw the title, it made me think of what has affectionately been titled "box Mountain" in my garage!

Back on topic, off the top of my head (5 ISN'T FAIR!!!!!!!!)

In no particular order

Bruce Cockburn
Joni Mitchell
CSNY (Sorry I know that's cheating)
David Bowie
Grateful Dead

5 ISN'T ENOUGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

6-10:

Frank Zappa
Duke Ellington
Wishbone Ash
The Beatles
Mott The Hoople & Ian Hunter (cheating again!)

Even 10 isn't enough!

My Punk/Glam Rushmore:

Joe Strummer
Joey Ramone
T-Rex

I'd really have to demand one of these for every genre. It's not fair!

Agreed. Five doesn't cover it for me either. I started to think about and realized how painful the process would be, so I made like a band-aid and just yanked out a list. If I did it again for the next six days without looking at previous lists, I'm not sure I'd duplicate a full list.

Steeleye would have been my 6th ( or 7th )

I'll do 5 since that's what was asked (but I could easily get to 100):

Thin Lizzy
Rush
Genesis
Black Sabbath (all of them-this would fill a volcano or two)
Led Zeppelin
