Liste ≡ Rock & Pop Bands T-Z
Für Sie im Überblick: Erfolgreichste Bands der Welt (T-Z) in einer Liste.
Erfolgreichste Bands der Welt gibt es Tausende. Zumindest subjektiv betrachtet. Denn jeder von uns hat seinen ganz eigenen Musik-Geschmack. So gehört für den einen z.B. U2 zu den beste Musikgruppen und Bands der Welt – und der andere wiederum liebt Take That. Dazwischen liegen Welten, die wir mit dieser feinen Auswahl (des Taschenhirn-Teams) verbinden möchten.
Die blau markierten Alben gehören (laut Rolling Stone Magazin) zu den „TOP 100 Alben aller Zeiten“. Die # gibt die exakte Platzierung bekannt. Steht da also die Zahl #55, so rankt das Album auf dem 55. Platz. Die rötlich markierten Alben & Singles landeten in den deutschen Musik-Charts auf Platz 1.
