They totally missed Eno, King Crimson, Mick Ronson, Matching Mole, the Sensational Alex Harvey Band & Gong. Most of these bands were probably bigger in the UK than the US but hey the early '70's was a very "starved" period in popular music, you had to get it where you could find it. At least RS gave recognition to Bowie, Roxy Music and Iggy, without whose efforts this era would have sucked even worse. BTW my Chinese name at work is Whining Tiger...hey, maybe that should be my new screen name...hmmm.
