Interesting list. Can't see Radiohead in the list, much less that high, not yet anyway. Stones should be higher, and Floyd should be up there near the top. (Dark Side of the Moon and Wish You Were Here both place highly in all-time album lists) Definitely need to consider the Who, James Brown, Ray Charles, U2, Aerosmith, Prince, REM, Eagles, Neil Young, Springsteen, Crosby Stills & Nash, the Clash, and Mellencamp, to name but a few. _________________ “We must always take sides.

No mention of Bob Marley?
He is top 5 at least _________________ "I think everybody should like everybody"

24- as with any list people will be left out and some of the artists consider mentioning.
To me Radiohead is the definitive artist of this time. No bad albums, only great ones which is so impressive because their sound has changed/evolved so much. But then again I'm a rabid radiohead fanboy. I'll put their impact on music up against the acts you listed.
Ko8e8ryant- I know I'll be flamed for this and I really do like Bob Marley but imo he is more of a cultural icon than a legendary musician. If I was making a top 20 you'd see Bob. Can't take anyone off my top 10 though |

Don't you think the rule about Marley applies to Velvet underground?
BTW, I forgot the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Johnny Cash, not to mention Clapton!
BTW, I like Radiohead, just not to the level you do _________________ “We must always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented.” ― Elie Wiesel |

Nah I don't think so. Guys like Marley, Cobain, Morrison all made great music but imo we talk about them for the things they did outside the realm of music.
Velvet holds up. Truly created a unique sound all their own. And extremely influential btw. Look how many Velvet Underground rip off bands we have today. |
