*Greatest Artists of All Time (That Weren't Included On The RollingStone Version)

I would put Creedence Clearwater Revival #1 on the list. I was stunned that they didn't make Rolling Stones top 50 list, let alone 100. I think CCR is greater than Queen and certainly Pink Floyd, which I think is definetly a top 100 band, but which I find to be a tad bit overrated. I actually like Pearl Jam/Eddie Vedder more than Pink Floyd, which I think is a musical father to Radiohead(except I think Radiohead does what Pink Floyd did better).

I don't know if Depeche Mode made Rolling Stone's list, but I'd put them on this list if they weren't. They are a pioneering act in their own way, and there's no denying they cranked out a tremendous amount of distinctly Depeche Mode songs.

I think Tool should be recognized, as well as Slayer cause I don't think I see them anywhere on the bullshit RS list. Dream Theater should be included, I mean come on, John Petrucci and Mike Portnoy are in the band!

The ignoring of Paul McCartney is weirdly prejudicial on a supplemental list that includes Neil Diamond and...Ray Stevens(?). Why not Sam the Sham and the Pharaohs?

Hi if your going to include metallica and slayer you should also include megadeth

DO you think artists like Louis Armstrong, Bing Crosby & Leonard Cohen should be on there? Louis, for example, is far more deserving than a band like, say, Oasis.

If anyone's interested I've redone the list and it's on my page... not trying to spam or anything but people always complain about it so I wanted to see if maybe I could get it right.

But yeah, Tool and Devo should be on your list as well, and maybe Richard D. James, Green Day, and Jethro Tull, too.

I've been away and seriously thought about stuff, and realised that all the 'greatest artists' list I've seen (including this one) have WAAAAAAY too much emphasis on rock and all it's subgenres, and not enough on country, r&b, jazz, blues and pop. Louis Armstrong #19 on the artists that WEREN'T on the list? Hell, only person I can think of that tops him is Elvis, and even then it's EXTREMELY close. my top 20 list would probably go something like:
Elvis Presley
Louis Armstrong.
Bing Crosby
Beatles
Frank Sinatra
Duke Ellington
Billie Holiday
James Brown
Bob Dylan
Johnny Cash
Hank Williams
Ray Charles
Ella Fitzgerald
B.B. King
Al Jolson
Louis Jordan
Miles Davis
Charlie Parker
The Rolling Stones
Mahalia Jackson

I would put Modest Mouse on the list for sure. They are really a great band. In fact they are one of the only real bands left.

Uuuuurgh, I'm sick of all this 'omg modern music sucks (random band name) is awesome i love real music!!!'. Look, you may not like most modern music, but others do, and you should respect that since not everyone is going to share your opinion. There is no 'good' or 'bad' music, only music that you either like or dislike.
And just because you think they're good, why does that justify a spot for them on the 100 GREATEST artists of all time?

Still no MOODY BLUES, LITTLE FEAT or GREENDAY???
Whiskey Tango Foxtrot!!!

The Police, Gordon Lightfoot, The Guess Who, Boston, Chicago, The Talking Heads, Eurythmics,

where is the moody blues, electric light orchestra, billy joel, uriah heep. i want justice
