My Top Rated Artists by RoundTheBend

The Discography Game!

*** nowhere near complete ***

These are the artists I respect because their discographies have more than just a one off amazing album.

These are ranked according to their average album score of those I've recently listened to. I hope to listen to all of these artists' discographies in full to truely give a full assessment, but I'm not there yet. for all of them.

I omitted artists that only had one studio album or one amazing album and the others are flops... in other words Jeff Buckley has an amazing album, but his career was sadly cut short with only one studio album. This rule may change.

I should clean this up... only have bands where I've listened to the full discography/rated it and if they've released something new I need to keep up.
