Tomorrow is the last day to nominate artists. After tomorrow, I'll no longer be accepting nominations and will compile the list based on the number of nominations each artist has received. You may use this thread to discuss how the list should be compiled in the event of ties and whatnot.

 

[childeroland]

I'd like to nominate both Mozart and Bach, just to get two classical composers in the mix.

 

[Whiskey Tango]

Everybody copy/paste my list a few times since it is the best list.

I think that a tie should be voted on. You can just ask people to vote on who they think deserves to be rated higher between the artists with a tie. After that you can rank them accordingly.

 

[Lily Adler]

Like a Music Deathmatch? Michael Jackson vs. Madonna! David Bowie vs. Bob Dylan! The Rolling Stones vs. The Beatles!

I like it.

 

[E-Man]

Anyone who would pick Madonna over Michael Jackson will be suplexed by Magilla Gorilla.

 

[Kane52630]

Except for Mr. Peebles, he don't like primates. Magilla Gorilla just isn't the mammal with whom he relate.

 

[Sawyer]

I think my choices have already been well reflected in the voting and I've given enough weight to the obvious choices who have been around since before I was born. The only 3 I want to elevate further are:

Coldplay
Dr Dre
Snoop Dogg

And I'll include these 2 as I meant to nominate them first time round but forgot to come back to the thread:

Beyonce
Christina Aguilera

Edit: btw sorry haven't got time to rank everyone else so just give all the above a +1 in the order listed and I'll let everyone else do the eliminating.

 

[childeroland]

My vote to eliminate:

Weird Al
Coldplay
Dr Dre
Snoop Dogg
The Fugees
Wu-Tang Clan
Colbie Caillat
