Default Re: Most famous music artist of all time?

1. Michael Jackson
2. The Beatles
3. Elvis

10-15 years from now, MJ will probably still be #1, but the other 2 might be way farther down the list.

Bob Dylan was a huge influence on the majority of your list by their own admission. Surely he has to be on it.

If you are looking at Modern (last 50-60) years, then Bob Dylan has had the most impact of any on your list. That is, if you are looking at the influence the specific artist had on music as a whole.

The Beatles and Elvis would have to be 2 and 3, respectively.

Chuck Berry could also be in the top 3, if not 1. It's all a matter of perspective. He is considered the father of rock and roll by many.

I love Cash, but I am not sure his legacy is as influential as the others.



Seeing this list makes me realize how most of today's popular music sucks.

I guess Eminem hasn't released anything for a little while but he was/is as big as Madonna/Rolling Stones, etc. He's controversial, his music transcends racial boundaries and he's got worldwide appeal. Can't believe I'm the first to mention him.

I'm not saying he's #1 over Beatles/Elvis/Michael Jackson, but he's in the discussion.

Well, technically, The King who wrote Greensleeves was probably more influential than The "King" who wrote Blue Suede Shoes. But did he or didn't he...

no love for pink floyd? for utter theatrical performance they changed a lot

anyway, does the influence of music really only go back 100 years? i dont have a great knowledge of classic music but i think we are talking far too short term, unless you are talking famous modern musician
