VH1 Top 100 Music Artists of All Time....
« on: September 14, 2010, 11:28:38 AM »
Watched this last night over a span of 5 hours from 6-11 pm.Pretty good list OVERALL but there were definitely some I disagreed with on the list.

Some I thought obviously should have been higher - Elvis, Queen, Aretha Franklin, Pink Floyd, Elton John, Billy Joel........while some should have been lower or not even on the damned list - Alicia Keys, ABBA, Timberlake, Sade, Eminem. Comments to the side of list below.  Seriously? Sade > Billy Joel? Holy shit.

Remember - this is the top 100 music artists of ALL FUCKING TIME.  And its also just my opinion and I know the wench will get pissed about my opinion (and anyone else's who isn't tone deaf) of ABBA.

Thoughts?

When Elvis popped up at #8 and Prince came in at #7 I had to go throw up.

And you are right - The Allmans should be on here Top 30 AT LEAST. Billy Joel and Van Morrison behind Eminem and Beyonce as a "Music Artist"? Holy fuck.

I believe the list was voted on by musicians and "music experts", which may explain some of the placements.  Understand that many of them may cast their vote based on the influence that a particular artist may have/had on them. You may see a lot more current artists on the list that don't seem to have been around long enough to make it on there.  Totally agree on Justin Timberlake.  I think the guy is a great artist (At what he does) but to be in the top 100 is like Scottie Pippin making the Top 50 NBA players of all time list.  Pffft....

Some that stand out to me. On the "Should be lower" list:

Sly & The Family Stone. I don't think this needs commentary other than WTF?
Neil Young.  The guy may have had a huge influence on music...I guess...but I want to club baby seals whenever I hear him sing.  However, no one makes me want to club those same baby seals along with a few cute otters, more than Bob Dylan.  #2????  Look, every time I debate with anyone over Bob Dylan, I always get the "He's such a great song writer" argument.  Yeah, so....let the fucker write poetry and never open his god awful pie hole so we have to hear him sing.  #2???  And Nirvana #14?  A garage band that got discovered in a time when that genre of music was coming out.  Aerosmith has been putting out hits for 30+ years and they rank Curt GoBang's heroined out ass higher?  Another big Pffft to them.

Higher on the list should be:

Elton John.  Gay dude's been making #1 hits for longer than Aerosmith.

Did I miss Willie Nelson and or Hank Williams Jr.?  And who is The Velvet Underground?

Velvet Underground to me is in the same mold as the Ramones and the Clash - in the fact that they werent as known Mainstream but the people who did like them  - LOVE THEM!

I personally didnt care for VU, but they are huge to a lot of folks.

Billy Joel and Elton John need to be much higher. Even if the dude is gayer than shit. The man has done nothing but write and sing #1 hits for 30+ years.

I enjoy most of Sir Elton's catalog, but he only wrote 1/2 of the vast majority of those hits.  Give Bernie Taupin some fuckin credit.

You serious, Clark?

Didn't Slash play guitar for them with that STP dude singing?

Yep, serious.  I've heard the name many times but can't say I've ever heard any of their stuff.  Not that that means anything but top 25 of all time?  And Jumbo, you're spot on the The Eagles.  The group alone should be on there but they should easily make the list when you think of all the music the members put out on their own.

Tis true sir wes. Guess my point was he has sang a ton of #1's and written many of them. That certainly has to trump many of the listed acts by leaps and bounds.

Somewhere jmar is mad that the Moody Blues were left off.

You have to admit they are a BIT of a niche band. Just a little.  Although they do have one of the more well known albums of all time.

Sure they are.  However, anyone who styles themselves a fan of music, should know them.

I'm looking directly at you, Snags.

Alright, where the fuck IS Clapton.  Can't just list Cream and say you've covered it.  The hell with that.  Cheap Trick is up there with a grand total of 2 songs and Clapton is not?  No Marky Mark?  No NKOTB?
