Top ten bands:
1. The Beatles
2. Led Zeppelin
3. R.E.M.
4. Queens of the Stone Age
5. Pavement
6. At the Drive-In
7. The Rolling Stones
8. Black Sabbath
9. Soundgarden
10. U2
not necessarily in this order. Honorable mentions: The Who, Floyd, Hendrix, Radiohead.
I don't really know how to rank artists that aren't bands so I left them off the list, but I really like Stevie Wonder and Marvin Gaye, and rap artists like Nas and Biggie.

The aggregate rankings in my charts show these as the top 10 artists in my charts:

1.The Beatles
2.The Rolling Stones
3.Led Zeppelin
4.Metallica
5.Slayer
6.Bob Dylan
7.The Kinks
8.The Doors
9.Guns 'N' Roses
10.System of a Down

I actually consider Led Zeppelin my favourite band, and I would probably put The Who or CCR in my top ten over Dylan....but I don't really get too hung up on ranking artists.

3. Gustav Klimt
4. Salvador Dali
5. Werner Tubke
6. Max Ernst
7. Leonardo Da Vinci
8. Pieter Bruegel

Several others would fall just below those as well)

And, to preempt the inevitable film lists:

3. Ingmar Bergman
4. Fritz Lang
5. Alfred Hitchcock
6. Theo Angelopoulos
7. Bela Tarr
8. Lars Von Trier
9. David Lynch
10. Akira Kurosawa

(Also, each of the following were strongly considered and could be convincingly argued to replace some of those: Federico Fellini, Luis Bunuel, Francis Ford Coppola, Stanley Kubrick, Roman Polanski, Sam Peckinpah, Charlie Chaplin, Martin Scorsese, Howard Hawks, Krzysztof Kieślowski, Robert Altman, Carl Theodor Dreyer, Peter Greenaway, Elia Kazan, Jean Renoir, F.W. Murnau, Josef Von Sternberg, Yasujiro Ozu ... Several others would fall just below those as well)
