Fleetwood Mac and Rush over Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, Doors, King Crimson (!!), Police... that's silly, at least. U2 and Yes are highly debatable, too, although Yes ARE great.

I take Fleetwood Mac, Rolling Stones, and the Beatles and I can't choose between them really.

I like Deep Purple, Black Sabbath and Doors a lot. But Deep Purple and>Black Sabbath were not as successful on the US charts. They definitely>dont have many top 10 albumson the US charts. The Doors performed>poorly in the UK charts and they werent great on the US charts either.
Not great? Every album featuring new material was a top ten album.
The Police did well in the US... Synchronicity of course went no.1.....it's difficult to read album chart places in the US though because Billboard has them all over the place.

Thats wrong.>
The Doors US #2, UK #43>Strange Days US #3 DID NOT CHART IN UK>Waiting for the Sun US #1, UK #16>The Soft Parade US #6 DID NOT CHART IN UK>Morrison Hotel US #4, UK #12>LA Woman US #9, UK #26>
I obviously meant in the US since I was responding to your 'not great' comment.

Police rock - great live band, perfection in studio. Peak goat imo.
