Who are your top 4 (Mt. Rushmore) music acts of all-time? Doesn't have to be a band. Could be Neil Young, David Bowie, etc.

Mine, in no order:
Rolling Stones
Beatles
Pink Floyd
Bob Dylan

I'm intrigued by three bands and Dylan being shoehorned on the face of a mountain as much as I am by referencing Mount Rushmore on a European message board.

As for me, I wouldn't carve any faces into a mountain. Nature deserves better and tomorrow's generations will likely consider them irrelevant or offensive.

I'm just asking for your top 4 music acts. I'm not talking about actually carving into a mountain. Still waiting for your 4...

And this is a world-wide site. Sheesh.

The Beatles
Rolling Stones
Led Zeppelin
Bob Dylan

Is this who we like or who we think is more special, in some way? (Influential, caused a huge paradigm shift, etc.)

The second grouping would have to include folks like Robert Johnson, Elvis, and Chuck Berry.

Pondering on this while I await your reply.

Yes, I think this is about right.

If I were to be able to have a second mountain to deface, I'd pick

Velvet Underground
REM
AC/DC
Van Morrison
