The Rolling Stones
AC/DC
Judas Priest
Scorpions
Saxon

they say that Tom Petty is the most consistent music maker and profiteer in todays music. I don't know if they rate that on the amount of money it takes to produce one of his records or what.

Yeah.....with reason.  In another thread, which actually was the inspiration for this thread,  I was discussing John Fogerty's hippie liberal democratic views and his elitist FUDD feelings for the 2A....but I guess I can add them to the alternate list.

I'd just leave the politics out of it.  I wouldn't vote for a presidential candidate based on his guitar skills, either.
