tupac should not be above biggie but idk if thats just me
ReplyDeleteGreatest Artists of all time? I'd say not! You left Off Leonardo DiVinci! This is clearly an egregous ommission!
ReplyDeleteI'm happy to see Johnny cash is so high up there.
ReplyDeleteThe Beatles should be number one Molester Jackson don't belong in top 25. Get the rap and hip hop out ,it's not art but shit. You guys need to go back and learn what music is.
ReplyDeletewhere are the great groups of the 60s and early 70s the best era of music,DEEP PURPLE,GREATFUL DEAD, CCR JEFFERSON AIRPLANE,STEPHENWOLF,THE LIST CAN GO ON.ANYONE OF THESE GROUPS AND DOZENS MORE ARE BETTER THAN ANY rap or hip hop people
ReplyDeleteMichael Jackson belongs in the #1 position. No matter what he did in his personal life, he did a lot for music. No one can deny that. Rap and hip hop belong on here. Even if you don't like it, it is still music and the people on here did a great deal for music as well. You can't tell me that NWA, Public Enemy, Tupac, and Notorious BIG weren't influential.
ReplyDeleteNow, considering the list you just threw out there contains one group I know, I'm not putting those on that list. Again, hip hop and rap belong on this list. Just because you don't like the genre doesn't mean it's not music. All that means is you're ignorant and can't recognize all types of music. Broaden your horizons.
Way to get worked up over something we did spur of the moment. Make your own list. <3 - Caitlin
ReplyDeleteI agree with Brandon, Biggie is better than Tupac. And THANK YOU! I've always supported Michael Jackson as one if not the best artist of all time, even though I personally think he did it and was crazy. Fame does that. Look at Lady Gaga. Case in point.
