My Top 25 Music Artists
So.... every year or so, I reevaluate my rankings of my list of favourite music artists. I have the top 25 below, with a couple changes noted since last year.
The movement up or down the list mostly has to do with things like the fact some artists are generally regarded higher or lower than my personal regard for them, so there's a bit of an influence... also, the numbers of songs each has in my SHoF list of favourite songs has an influence... and other things like multimedia interest I have in them (ie books, dvd's, television shows)...,concerts I've been to, as well...
So, anyway.... here's the latest version of my Top 25... same as last but in a slightly different order, as noted:
1 Beatles 34 songs currently in my SHoF list
2 Bob Dylan 19
3 Beach Boys 24 (up 1 position in the rankings)
4 Doors 15 (down 1 position)
5 John Lennon 9
6 George Harrison 11
7 Johnny Cash 10
8 The Clash 9
9 Leonard Cohen 8
10 Kinks 11
11 The Ramones 12
12 Neil Young 11
13 Donovan 7
14 Sex Pistols 8
15 Brian Wilson 6
16 T. Rex 8
17 Chuck Berry 2
18 Rolling Stones 12 (up 2 positions)
19 Elvis Costello 6
20 Frank Black 5 (down 2 positions)
21 Nirvana 4
22 Pink Floyd 4 (up 1 position)
22 Weezer 3 (down 1 position)
24 The Who 6 (up 1 position)
25 Run-DMC 3 (down 1 position)
