It's essentially the presence of bands with such uninspired, forgettable and pathetic songwriting and unambitious instrumentation that shows that making songs that appeal to everyone is considered a criterion for being a "great" artist.

I won't stop saying that until my furious Coldplay review gets over 1000 views.

It is for me what makes lists like these so irritating.

Everyone knows that Eminem and Beyonce are better than The Band :laughing:

There's really no need to get angry over a list like this.
It was created for people who watch VH1, did you expect there to be underground artists on there or something?

The list was made to appeal to their demographic, who genuinely do rate people like Michael Jackson as 'the greatest artists of all time'

I think MJ belongs quite a bit further down on the list.

im telling u we should make a 100 list but none of us would agree on anything. Maybe like submit artist and have like the higher ups go over all the ideas, and make a list out of that LOL


WOuld

Esquivel
Frank Zappa
or
KORN

make the list :P ????

Let's do it. Has it been done before? We all can vote and the ranking will be based on who receives the most votes.

Yeah, with BlastingGas on this. I'm sure we could all submit our lists of top artists, the votes can be counted and a compilation created of the highest voted artists.
Anybody up for doing the counting? :laughing:

some one with more cred tho should start it in another thread tho LOL

Really!!! Mentioning Frank Zappa and Korn in the same context.

That's the question. Someone had to count the musicbanter awards voting, though. Maybe it could be divided into multiple threads, each thread with a poll. Categorize each thread by genre of music, or by date. Maybe just have a pool of artists to choose from.


Flabbergasting, isn't it?
