I don't see how the distinction between best and favorite artists make any sense unless you claim that music tastes can be measured objectively.

I'll give you an example. I think Bob Dylan is one of the all time great song writers so I consider that, his influence, and longevity when calling him "great"

But, I cringe at the sound of his singing and harmonica playing at times and his music is just not my cup of tea.

Several people on this site and many people in my life, have said they consider the actual musicians in RUSH to be good or even top notch but they can't stand Geddy Lee's voice and consider the members geeks. So, while some acknowledge them as great Rush is just not their cup of tea.

Personally, when considering my "favorites" I consider things like personalities, memories, quality of live performance, how well I relate to the music and or artist, and other factors.
