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.

I was inspired by, and took most of my entries from, Clark Benson's list of 500, but he didn't have enough female artists for my tastes, nor did he have them rated highly enough. He excluded Blues and Jazz (except he has some artists who could be classified as Blues or Jazz on his list), so I did, too. However, I clearly like hip hop more than he does, so I had to add more of that, too. I haven't ranked the artists, and the list is in very rough order, because I'm new at this whole thing.

Another One Bites the Dust The caller will hear this song and think, "Yeah, whats one more body on the pile."

Bohemian Rhapsody, We Will Rock You, We are the Champions, Under Pressure, Killer Queen. These are just 5 of the many great Queen songs. Why the heck did Rolling Stone leave them out of their list?

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.
