Most people on this list seem to recognize that the Heartbreakers and the Buzzcocks *should've* had top 40 hits. While Sister Sledge should've drowned in their own manure.
So of course our "second guessing of history" is somewhat slanted.
In the end, I think it's a fucking miracle whenever something I really like becomes a hit record. If that makes the Beatles, Stones, Kinks,<whoever>, Official Historical Miracles---that's cool with me.

Maybe they 'd be as well remembered as Johnny Kidd & the Pirates.
Maybe bands that dressed like hooligans would gotten a shot.
Cleaning up was a brillian idea. Of course, the songs and the skills would still be there.
2nd guessing history is so tricky!
Why did a band with everything like Barry & the Remains or the Bobby Fuller 4 (or the Pretty Things) not do better? I 've always thought there was just so much going on: Dylan, Beatles, Beach Boys, Rolling Stones and then brain freeze sets in.
