Here i'm ranking my favorite artists of all-time by an artist-album-points method, current through new albums released in the year *2020*. I'm ranking artists by giving points to each artist based on where their albums rank within my top 4300 albums (updated 07/02/2021). The #1 album ("mellon collie...") is worth 4300 points and the #4300 album is worth 1 point.

I just felt like having another perspective on my favorite artists of all-time. The official list of my all-time fav artists is called "my all-time fav artists" (with companion list of #101-200) and factors in total impact of that artist IMO (regardless of album catalog breadth).

Obviously, a lengthy album catalog will garner a higher ranking on this list than an artist with a handful of strong material. Also, there are some artists of which i grouped albums of other monikers; for example, prince & the npg and prince & the revolution both count as prince, ryan adams along with his cardinals count as ryan adams, etc. (I generally did that when that 1 artist was the dominant, creative force or focal point of the artist's popularity.)

This does not count "current year" albums. Once a year is complete, i will add ranking points for those artists' albums to this list.

For each artist, i will be including my fav album of theirs. In the comment section, i will give their point total.

I give you so much credit for figuring out a way to do this. I tried to do something similar, and was just too much work and too overwhelming. And it didn't come out anything like the way I figured it would. By ranking them from my charts, it turned out that Bowie, Carole King, and Krafterk were my favorite artists. But theyre not!!! It just appears that way. I don't know what I did wrong. So I just gave up.
