Top 10 Musicians of all times (1 Viewer)

[neo o]

wait why do you have the beatles AND lennon and mccartney?

They were just THAT good.

 

[neo o]

he's right
metallica suck it

no way are they the best musicians of all time

Metallica aren't that bad, but they haven't redefined music in any way shape or form. To begin with, they were just another Bay Area thrash group (though one of the best by far) and now they are just another nu-metal/rock group.

 

[victor..cleaner]

yeah i'm kinda interested in this whole idea of rating musicians....

back in late 1999, rolling stone mag, published a huge special all about the decade of music that was the 90's. then when it came to naming their 'artist of the decade' they said that kurt cobain ( someone who was only alive for 4 years of the decade) was worthy of the title...

i reckon that because music is so diverse, constantly evolving, that the only people that can be said to be the greatest musicians are those who made a significant contribution. which would rule out some of your favourite artists who are simply here because you like them. that also rules me out in judging who is worthy for such a list.

i reckon that so far mcdickpants 2.5 has the right idea, go along with his example

your other option is to post a '10 fav muso'c thread'

i cant be bothered for band member names- so ill piss off a few ppl and stick to bands:

crowded house
tool
queens of the stone age
coldplay
ben harper (there's one name- and it's all you're getting!)
the beatles
radiohead
massive attack
rage against the machine
rhcp

there are so many others, but i thought of these first- so what can you do

don't even get me started on metallica. they are JUST the ones that i think should deserve the title, simply because metallica kicked ass and changed the sound of metal forever. The kind of blues and heavymetal coined up into one. Kirk Hammett is also the disciple of Joe Satriani that's why i like a lot of his solos and song structure from Kill'em All to Black.

and this is not about rock musicians, it can be ANYONE from any genre of music. As long as YOU think they deserve the title as The Best Musicians of all times

 

[AsyLum]

they never changed the sound of metal ever...

Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Pink Floyd, The Who, The Beatles, Queen, Def Leppard, and basically that whole 70's movement changed metal.

Metallica are good, but not revolutionary.

those bands you mentioned have changed the rock sound today and are responsible for a lot of shitty bands like Jet and The Hives etc.
Led Zeppelin has a lot of influence on metal bands and all, but Metallica sounded like none of them. If it wasn't for bands like Metallica, Judas Priest, Anthrax, Motorhead, Slayer, today's metal will be so much different. and out of all those bands, metallica is the most successful one since "Justice for all" has reached mainstream audience. And who can oppose that Metallica is the BIGGEST heavymetal band in the 80s.

what did THE WHO do anyway?? all they did was smashing their guitar accidentally in a show then start the whole smashing their gear after each show thing. Plus Pete Townsend is a pedophile

you have to agree there- how can you appreciate pete townsend after what he was accussed of doing (guilty or not) anyway??

 

[mcdickpants 2.5]

Plus Pete Townsend is a pedophile

thats fucking stupid
you're going to discredit the who's contribution to music because one of their members may or may not have been a pedophile?

 

[crazyhomo]

anyway... (in order of when i thought of them)
1.thom yorke
2.johhny greenwood
3.john lennon
4.billy corgan
5.bjork
6.pj harvey
7.jack white
8.dave grohl
9. jim morrison
10. paige and plant

awesome, and by your nick i can tell you probably have awesome taste in flims too.
hoorah for you buddy

sarcasm, right?

When you like a band they are like your heroes, everything they do is cool to you. A fucking pedophile is NOT COOL. Unless to you of course.

well since its pretty much been proven that he was researching for a book.
do you really think if he was guilty, he wouldnt be in jail, and able to travel to australia?

dude he's got like tones of that kiddie porn in his computer, and when asked why, he said it was for art purpose. Lamest excuse ever!!! that's what RollingStone Magazine told me anyway.
Pete Townsend has a leeway out of it, cuz he's rich and he hasn't slept with girl/boys like Michael Jackson did that's all we know anyway. I don't see how images of naked kids have anything to do with researching for a book.

 

[crazyhomo]

what does this have to do with pete townsend being one of the greatest musicians of all time? i still don't get how it relates...

 

[steph@nie]

it doesn't relate at all, but even still I wouldn't say that The Who were revolutionary, but thats just MY PERSONAL OPINION.
I don't have top musicians of all time, I just have that have influenced my taste in music:
Beatles
Ramones
Stevie Nicks
Mercury
Dylan
Bowie
Corgan
Satriani
Then there's classical stuff like Bach, Tchaikovsky, Pachabel etc.

 

[mcdickpants 2.5]

me either

obviously auto wah got confused about his own question.
and furthermore, rollingstone is the second biggest trash music tabloid rag around (second to nme) so i wouldnt neccisarrily take their word on anything, but its by the by. as crazyhomo put, being an alleged pedophile doesnt make him any less of an awesome and influential musician does it? michael jackson is a fruitcake, but you cant deny that he has talent.

 

[mcdickpants 2.5]

Michael Jackson - Dangerous. I only bought it because I liked the cover.

You're a genius that's what you are!!

this was from the first albums thread

so you're obviously a fan of michael jacksons then, even though he too is an alleged pedophile? nice double standards

 

[mayhemily]

this question is way to hard. I dont know who is the best so heres stuff that rates in my book:

the beatles
deep purple
led zep
pearl jam
silverchair
chilli's
jimmy eat world
white stripes
flaming lips
stone temple pilots
weezer
jbt
et al.
