Top 500 Musical Groups/Artists of Alltime

Top 500 Rock Bands isn't 100% accurate as this includes solo artists, and though it does not include jazz or blues it does include soul, R&B, Americana, reggae, and classic country (yes, that is somewhat arbitrary, but for whatever reason i listen to blues and jazz differently than the rest, and would be too hard to compare Miles or Ornette or Hooker to, say, Aerosmith). Criteria for my greatest bands of all time list is a combination of recorded albums, live shows I've seen, live recordings I've heard, radio songs, and even overall image/album covers/general coolness or uniqueness. I guess that was a way of trying to explain that the ranking is just a gut feeling. But it's probably about 50% based on "live chops", hence the lower ranking of the Beatles, who quit playing live before the most creative parts of their career. I am very into live shows and live recordings. Obviously, this list will change over time. I'm adding commentary to items whenever i get a spare minute or something interesting comes to mind about a band, probably 10-20 entries a month.

On the Cover of the Rolling Stone Magazine

On the Cover of the Rolling Stone, it may be a pipe dream from a song for many, but the celebrities on this list made the dream of being on Rolling Stone's cover a reality. Rolling Stone cover subjects are often the most famous celebrities and people of their era. President, actors, musicians, and even cartoon character have found a home as the subjects of a cover story in Rolling Stone magazine.

The Third World's first rock star.

I don't think I had ever heard a Bob Marley song before I went to college. I probably heard more Bob Marley than any other artist in college. I have heard so much Bob Marley that I rarely find myself actively thinking "time for some Marley", but as overplayed as he might be I can't say there's a cringeworthy song in his entire repertoire. The second greatest individual songwriter of alltime.

"I Shot the Sheriff" = Criminal justice careers Songwriters don't tend to like those in criminal justice careers....

An awesome musician with such a powerful anti-racism message! Maybe he'd play me a tune...

The Top 250 Recording Artists of All Time
The best bands. Ever. A mix of my opinion, that of critic's lists, and that of many other people on this site as well as my friends and family's favorite bands too. Bands are rated on how influential and skilled they are, and how good their songs are.
