Confeso fanatico de los Beatles no puedo negar la grandeza de Zeppelin. Lo que lograron transmitir con temas como Stairway to Heaven o When the levee breaks es impresionante. Ahora, sigo queriendo que ganen The Beatles.
No se gente que problema hay con que tenga 0 mensajes (ahora 1) y vote en una encuesta publica en la que no hay restricciones, nada mas leo el foro para informarme por eso no tengo mensajes, y vote a zeppelin porque me gusta y amo su musica.
Si quieren saber si soy un fake, fijense desde cuando estoy registrado y que este no es mi primer movimiento en el foro. Saludos
[SPOILER]Rolling Stone 100 greatest artists of all time list
The Beatles - Makes sense. Some of the most influential albums of all time are the works of these lads. What else can you say?
Bob Dylan - I could argue with this one. He’s a legend, but number 2?
Elvis Presley - Very successful, the king of rock n roll of course, but he was very controlled by his manager.
Rolling Stones - Often called ‘Anti-Beatles’, definitely top 5
Chuck Berry - Probably invented Rock n Roll. Deserves to be here.
Jimi Hendrix - First guitar god, I believe. Revolutionary player
James Brown - Godfather of soul, is it? Great showman
Little Richard - American Rock & Roll/R & B singer and pianist
Aretha Franklin - I think she was the first woman to be inducted into the rock n roll hall of fame. I’ll look that up later.
Ray Charles - American R&B singer and pianist
Bob Marley - Jamaican reggae singer
The Beach Boys - Some of the catchiest songs I ever heard.
Buddy Holly - Tragic death. One of the first to use a solid-body electric guitar.
Led Zeppelin - Possibly the ‘fathers of heavy metal’, but some might argue that Black Sabbath is.
Stevie Wonder - American soul singer. Plays many different instruments, and has won 22 grammy awards
Sam Cooke - A founder of soul music.
Muddy Waters - ‘Father of Chicago Blues’
Marvin Gaye - ‘The Prince of Motown’.
The Velvet Underground - American rock band, formed in 1965. Regarded as highly influencial in the rise to punk-rock, and alt-rock.
Bo Diddley - Legendary R&B singer. Known as the ‘Originator’
Otis Redding - You might not know him, but you’ve probably heard ‘Sittin’ on the dock of a bay’.
U2 - The Joshua Tree was one of my favourite albums
Bruce Springsteen - Born in the USA was overplayed. Good to see him make music again.
Jerry Lee Lewis - ‘Great Balls of Fire’ was his greatest hit, and one of my favs
Fats Domino - Rock & Roll pianist
The Ramones - Regarded as the first punk-rock group
Nirvana - I swear, RS magazine has a hard-on for these guys. They put Kurt Cobain at #12 on their ‘Greatest Guitarists of All Time’ list, and now this.
Prince - ‘Purple Rain’ is one of my favourite albums. He’s also an icon in style
The Who - Should be higher. Rock artists still try to sound like them
The Clash - English punk-rock band from the 70’s
Johnny Cash - The ‘Man in Black’. Should be higher, since he’s the equivalent of Elvis, except country. The only country singer I like
Smokey Robinson & The Miracles - American R&B group
The Everly Brothers - Country/Rock Duo
Neil Young - Candadian singer-songwriter. Influencial in grunge, though typically labeled folk/rock
Michael Jackson - Would be higher if he wasn’t wacko. Thriller was the best-selling album of all time
Madonna - I don’t like her music, but she could still be higher. The ‘Queen of Pop’
Roy Orbison - American singer-songwriter. Sang ‘Oh, Pretty Woman’
John Lennon - Liked him in the Beatles, not as a solo artist. Imagine was a great song, however
David Bowie - Icon in music, as well as style
Simon and Garfunkel - Should be in the top twenty, in my opinion. If you haven’t heard of them, you need to get some education
The Doors - I’d put them top 30, but this is alright
Van Morrison - ‘Van the Man’. Sang ‘Brown Eyed Girl’.
Sly and the Family Stone - American funk band
Public Enemy - Not a chance. I’d say about 80, maybe
The Byrds - American rock group
Janis Joplin - American singer-songwriter
Patti Smith - The ‘Godmother of Punk’
Run-DMC - Biggest act in hip-hop throughout the 80’s
Elton John - Should be higher. Not a huge fan, but I can appreciate his talent
The Band - Canadian rock band. They backed Ronnie Hawkins, and Bob Dylan
Howlin’ Wolf - Blues singer. Another attempt to cater to the R&B genre. Every prolific classic R&B singer made it onto this list in some random order. They put Muddy Waters ahead of Marvin Gaye. Come on
Allman Brothers Band - Southern-rock band
Eric Clapton - English blues-rock guitarist
Dr. Dre - Has numerous Grammys for rapping and producing
Grateful Dead - American rock band
Parliament/Funkadelic - African-American soul band
Aerosmith - American hard rock band
Sex Pistols - One of the first punk bands. Definitely one of the most prolific
Louis Jordan - Jazz musician. Not familiar with his works
Joni Mitchell - Canadian singer-songwriter
Tina Turner - American singer and entertainer
Etta James - American R&B singer. Sang ‘At Last’. Should be top 90s if anything at all
Phil Spector - He’s a producer. Why is he on here?
The Kinks - English rock group
Al Green - American gospel singer
Cream - '60’s British rock band. Considered to be the first ‘supergroup’
The Temptations - American R&B vocal group
Jackie Wilson - R&B singer
Carl Perkins - ‘The King of Rockabilly’
The Police - Sold over 50 million albums world-wide. Highest paid musical act of 2008. Biggest ego of a bassist frontman
Frank Zappa - American composer. Phenomenal guitarist
AC/DC - They’ve had countless hits, and are one of the most popular bands around. I’m surprised RS didn’t place them higher-glad they didn’t
Radiohead - Glad to see them gettin’ some love, but they were placed ahead of some great legends. Maybe a few years down the road I would put them here
Hank Williams - Country singing legend
The Eagles - Could be higher. Their greatest hits album was the 2nd greatest selling album of all time
The Shirelles - Girl group in the 60’s. The first to get a #1 single on the Billboard 100. I would exlude them based on their lack of longevity
Beastie Boys - Jewish hiphop group. Never would have guessed they’d be successful, but they were
The Stooges - Highly influencial in punk-rock
The Four Tops - American R&B quartet. Are noted for having a baritone for a lead singer(stubbs)
Elvis Costello - English musician, singer-songwriter
The Drifters - American R&B vocal group
Eminem - Has many awards, including an Academy award for ‘best original song’ for 2002’s ‘Lose Yourself’
N.W.A. - Gangsta-rap group from the eighties. Dr. Dre and Ice Cube were in this group
James Taylor - American singer/songwriter and guitarist from Boston
Black Sabbath - RS never really liked Black Sabbath. If memory serves me correctly, their first review of Sabbath went something like ‘Should they even exist?..’. I would place them in the top 40 at least
Tupac Shakur - Rap artist. The first to have an album go to #1 while in jail.
Gram Parsons - Country singer. Died at age 26
Miles Davis - Jazz trumpet player
The Yardbirds - English rock group. Introduced us to Clapton, Page, and Beck
Carlos Santana - Solo guitar player. His band has consisted of about 40 people over the years
Ricky Nelson - American singer with over 50 Hot 100 hits
Guns n Roses - ‘Appetite for Destruction’ was the best thing they ever did. Too bad they weren’t consistent
Booker T. and the MG’s - Instrumental soul band. One of the first inter-racial groups
Nine Inch Nails - Trent Reznor is Nine Inch Nails. He’s pretty much the only member
Lynyrd Skynyrd - American southern rock band
Martha and the Vandellas - Female R&B group
Diana Ross and the Supremes - Popular female singing group of the 60’s
Roxy Music - English rock group from the 70’s. Not top 100 material
Curtis Mayfield - American soul singer
Lee ‘Scratch’ Perry - Influencial figure in Reggae music[/SPOILER]
si,pero igual debe ser complicado hacer un ranking con tantas bandas y sobre todo mezclando los generos… y hay que ver quien vota, y bajo que criterio! …aunque hay cosas inaceptables… zappa puesto 71…
jaja, si, igual esas listas siempre me parecieron cualquiera… quieren abarcar " mucho " pero no abarcan nada. me encanta aretha franklin pero no se la puede meter dentro de un top 10 donde estan los bitles, dylan, pocho la pantera y el soundtrack de nubeluz… no tiene sentido. odio la rolling stone!
