Your meme, should you choose to accept it, is to rank the following bands in order, from COULDN'T LIVE WITHOUT to COULDN'T CARE LESS. To add value to this process, you must also add one band to the list, and remove one band from the list, before passing the meme on (including these instructions).

From the good to the bad:

Sweet (my addition)
Pink Floyd
The Grateful Dead
The Sex Pistols
The Beatles
Queen
Fleetwood Mac
Nirvana
REM
The Eagles

Removed The Red Hot Chili Peppers. I don't remember any of their music. If the meme allowed, I would have removed The Eagles too. Most of their music annoys me.

Alright, here's one at 3 a.m.

1978. Suburban Milwaukee. Roller rink. Roller skates with big fluffy pompoms. Skating to Ballroom Blitz and MacArthur Park. Roller rink parking lot. Mustangs. Chevelles. Bonnie Bell Lip Smackers. Cruising Highway 100. Smoking pot. Wishing we were older.

I shocked myself by taking out the Sex Pistols. Added Led Zeppelin. Would have added Prince, too, if I could add 2.

I bumped the Eagles up a bit.

I think I'm too old, musically speaking, to be Gen X, as evidenced by this meme.

Led Zeppelin
Pink Floyd
Fleetwood Mac
Queen
The Beatles
The Eagles
Sweet
The Grateful Dead
REM
Nirvana

Here I am, replying to myself when I ought to be sleeping.

I need to clarify that for me, Fleetwood Mac means Fleetwood Mac pre-Stevie Nicks and Lindsay Buckingham. Not the Fleetwood Mac that was on the charts when I was listening as a kid, but the Fleetwood Mac I came to appreciate later. However, I have nothing against Lindsay Buckingham and Stevie Nicks, in fact, one of my very favorite albums is "Buckingham/Nicks". I just think both bands were better before they joined forces.
