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.

My friends and I would see the Allman Brothers every year at Jazz Fest. The best was one year we were dancing around and I looked to my right... and there was one of my professors shirtless partying with his friends. We just gave each other the nod and continued enjoying the show.

Saw them in '74, best concert I ever attended.

To me, the Allmans meet all of your criteria; great albums esp. thru Eat a Peach, great live shows & there was nobody cooler than Duane Allman and the rest of the Brothers. Fly on Skydog...They should probably be rated a little higher IMHO.

Yeah, if I was old enuf to have seen Duane-era Allmans live I would probably rate them a bit higher. They did lose some points for the weak incarnations in the late 70s.

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.
