U2's one of the most popular choices for this topic and I can get behind that.
Only if they're well-known enough to be rated in the first place! |
I agree with PurpleHazel. It's always interesting to highlight objective qualities in music, and underated/overated threads (although very recurring) do just that.
Saying "to each is own" is simply not the purpose of a ranking website ! The purpose is : what's the consensus ? But some rankings will always look surprising, from an "as objective as possible" point of view.

Got to be Nirvana. They're a great band and I really like all of their albums, but wouldn't put them in my top 50 or even 100 artists. _________________ All time

In considering the best ever, you can answer this question for yourself with any given music artist, as follows:
Are they truly among the most talented artists of all time, with technical renditions (vocally, instrumentally) that demonstrate this?
Is their vocalist(s) (if applicable) truly among the most extraordinary and affecting of all time?
Are their instrumentalists truly among the most extraordinary and affecting of all time?
Are they truly among the greatest composers of all time, even for at least an album or two?
Are they truly among the most creative artists of all time, replete with works that it seems utterly astonishing the human mind produced?
Are any of their albums truly among the most thoroughly affecting or profound experiences you can imagine having from music or art (or close to this)? Any of their songs/tracks?
If you answered no to some of the above, the selected artist is probably a logical fallacy. If you answered no to most or all of the above, the selected artist is definitely a logical fallacy. If you answered yes to all of the above as applicable, I am very pleased that we both love Beethoven. _________________ Best Classical
