VH1'S 100 Greatest Artists of All Time

[Paroxysm]

they asked actual performers/musicians....there was no fan voting here, so I respect it more than most

I don't, it's still one of the worst Top 100 lists I've even laid eyes on.

and VH1 can go **** themselves.

 

[BlackLantern]

let's light this room on fire....who would you put as #1??

 

[Sawyer]

Beyonce shouldn't even be on it.....

Seriously. I mean, really, who did she screw to get on this list?

 

[Sawyer]

let's light this room on fire....who would you put as #1??

I'd still keep The Beatles.

 

[BlackLantern]

it depends on the day for me....some days its Elvis, some days its the Beatles

I'd still keep The Beatles.

 

[MessiahDecoy123]

Nirvana belong on the list because of their impact on the music industry and Cobain's soulful lyrics and anti-establishment persona.

You don't see any artist like him on the pop charts and probably never will again.

Jimi Hendrix was the same.....x 100

 

[MessiahDecoy123]

I'm glad Bob Marley and Prince both made the top 11.

I think the top ten was pretty solid.

 

[BlackLantern]

same here...I was pleasantly surprised at how high Prince was

 

[MessiahDecoy123]

Jimi Hendrix was the same.....x 100

Hendrix was fashionable and was a man of the times. He didn't force the industry to re-examine itself the way Cobain did. He didn't contrast with popular music the way Cobain did.

Because they were artist at very different times they rebelled against different things.

 

[Mr.Webs]

I have to say the top ten looks good to me. It's the rest of the list that's suspect.

 

[Catman]

Seriously. I mean, really, who did she screw to get on this list?

Jay-Z.

same here...I was pleasantly surprised at how high Prince was

I wasn't. Every present-day musician who grew up in the `80s voted for Prince.

 

[BlackLantern]

as they should

 

[Sawyer]

Jay-Z.

Well obviously. But he alone could not have gotten her into the top 60.

 

[Catman]

as they should

I like Prince, but a lot of his music is dated.

 

[BlackLantern]

I disagree....I think a lot of his music holds up surprisingly well

 

[MessiahDecoy123]

Compared to most 80's music, Prince is not dated.

 

[Catman]

Compared to most 80's music, Prince is not dated.

Compared to Michael Jackson, he's dated.

 

[Blitzkrieg Bop]

I wanna watch out of curiosity what was said about The Ramones.

 

[MessiahDecoy123]

Compared to Michael Jackson, he's dated.

Purple Rain is less dated than Bad.

 

[Sawyer]

I think I'd be tempted to put Elton a little higher on the list.

 

[Sawyer]

Queen and Pink Floyd, too.

 

[Mr.Webs]

Purple Rain is less dated than Bad.

Bad is almost perfect.

 

[BlackLantern]

if you need music to molest by, yea it is
