The Beatles and Stones were not in the top 40 that I can remember. There was no criteria. The put it on the net and over a million votes came in for their top 10 and the 100 list was comprised of all the votes. I don't think the folks that voted were too old because Sabbath, Judas Priest, Zeppelin, Kiss and other groups that were popular in the 70's and 80's were well represented. Not sure if people thought it was a given that Freebird would be there and did not vote or what.


For me:

Freebird, Lynyrd Skynyrd
Stairway to Heaven, Led Zeppelin
Hotel California, Eagles
Hey Jude, The Beatles
Another Brick in the Wall, Pink Floyd
Back in Black, AC/DC
Hey Joe, Jimi Hendrix
Won't Get Fooled Again, The Who
Sweet Home Alabama, Lynyrd Skynyrd
Tom Sawyer, Rush

in no particular oder and I probably could put a few others in if I thought about it a while.
