I too nominate these.
 
My top five:

The Beatles
U2
Madonna
Michael Jackson
Elvis
 
These have all already been mentioned, but I'd personally like to nominate (based on both talent and influence):

-Stevie Wonder
-Curtis Mayfield
-Led Zeppelin
-Lady Gaga
-Beyonce
-Bob Dylan
-Bob Marley
-Jimi Hendrix
-Eric Clapton
-Aretha Franklin
-Christina Aguilera
-Prince
-Michael Jackson
-Madonna

Beyonce is a bit of an unusual pick for me, as I don't quite enjoy her songs or albums per se, but I have huge respect for both her originality (she's ever a trendsetter instead of a trend follower) and her stage presence.
 
We invite multiple mentions. The more an artist has, the higher they rank.
 
Nick Cave
PJ Harvey
The Smiths
Garbage
Joy Division
Jeff Buckley
Depeche Mode
Nine Inch Nails
The Cure
Fiona Apple

I second these.

Also:
Jewel (minus the atrocious Pop years)
Evanescence
Paramore
 
Guns N' Roses
Pink Floyd

Florence + the Machine


The next two almost surely won't make it, but, as a fan, I'd feel dirty not to mention them:
Within Temptation
Epica
 
Yes! Black Sabbath and Florence + the Machine. Also Annie Lennox.
 
I can't believe it. No one has mentioned James Brown or Ella Fitzgerald?!?

What did I tell you?! Blow it up! Blow it all up....or beat up everybody else in the thread besides me because let's be real. You're no match for my Tyson technique.:o

Besides, there should be more outrage for Sade. Who doesn't like Sade? I'd love to meet that person to uppercut the hell out of them for being a bad person.
 
Judging by the nominations, it seems the Hype loves mostly alternative bands. :shrug:
 
So what you're saying is that you hate white people? LiLo hates white people, y'all! Reported for racism.
 
I can't believe it. No one has mentioned James Brown or Ella Fitzgerald?!?
