My top 100 artists... this was exceedingly difficult to make. < ="-" ="text/; =utf-8"> This is my list of favorite bands. There are 4 categories.
1-10 = A 11-40 = B 41-70 = C 71-100 = D
This means that number 22 is more or less equal to number 39, and that number 73 is more or less equal to 97, and 52 is more or less equal to 65, and 1 is more or less equal to 8.
But, 1 is somewhat better than 17, while 22 is somewhat better than 51, 1 is much better than 88.
1 – Vangelis 2 – Pain Of Salvation 3 – Ayreon 4 – Pink Floyd 5 – Alice In Chains 6 – maudlin of the Well 7 – Devin Townsend 8 – Queensryche 9 – Savatage 10 – Kayo Dot 11 – John Lennon 12 – Tom Waits 13 – Leonard Cohen 14 – Nick Cave 15 – Mercyful Fate 16 – Judas Priest 17 – Riverside 18 – Opeth 19 – Genesis 20 – Jethro Tull 21 – Green Carnation 22 – Death 23 – Nobou Uematsu 24 – Dream Theater 25 – King Crimson 26 – Comus 27 – Cynic 28 – Brian Eno 29 – Sigur Ros 30 – Mastodon 31 – Van Der Graaf Generator 32 – Alan Parsons Project 33 – Marilyn Manson 34 – Radiohead 35 – Mike Oldfield 36 – Black Sabbath 37 – Johnny Cash 38 – Yasunori Mitsuda 39 – Tiamat 40 – Black Mages, The 41 – Metallica 42 – Megadeth 43 – Fates Warning 44 – Iron Maiden 45 – Paul McCartney 46 – Meatloaf 47 – Gojira 48 – Danzig 49 – Agalloch 50 – Doors, The 51 – Steve Vai 52 – Steve Hackett 53 – Bob Dylan 54 – Marillion 55 – Therion 56 – Peter Gabriel 57 – Mars Volta, The 58 – Eminem 59 – Edge Of Sanity 60 – Atheist 61 – Psychotic Waltz 62 – Andrew Lloyd Webber 63 – Emerson, Lake, and Palmer 64 – Accept 65 – Alice Cooper 66 – At The Gates 67 – In Flames 68 – Cure, The 69 – Trans-Siberian Orchestra 70 – Slayer 71 – Dio 72 – Iced Earth 73 – Blind Guardian 74 – Beatles, the 75 – Band, The 76 – Anglagard 77 – Who, The 78 – Rolling Stones, The 79 – David Bowie 80 – Camel 81 – Rage Against The Machine 82 – Pantera 83 – Rainbow 84 – Shadow Gallery 85 – Police, The 86 – Yes 87 – Frank Zappa 88 – Marty Friedman 89 – Joe Satriani 90 – Soundgarden 91 – Naked City 92 – Porcupine Tree 93 – Skyclad 94 – Arcturus 95 – AC/DC 96 – Crimson Glory 97 – Steely Dan 98 – Atomic Rooster 99 – Seatbelts, The 100 – Creedence Clearwater Revival Oh, boy, this thing will probably change, rapidly, too. I'm always discovering new artists. Agalloch is the most recent addition. The rating system was inspired by George Starostin's system, somewhat. Some bands that might be making the list, hereby kicking someone else out: -Kate Bush -Orphaned Land -Renaissance -The Gathering -Deadsoul Tribe -Simon & Garfunkle -Billie Holiday -The Ink Spots -Modest Mouse -Anathema -Kamelot -Mahavishnu Orchestra -lots of italian prog bands I spent hours and hours ruminating over this list, and even I don't think it's 100% accurate of my tastes. I'd like to see what you folks think. I definitely don't recommend trying this. Up next I plan on listing my favorite 500 albums...I dread it... |

I'm contemplating a similar thing to categorise my collection.
I'm still working on a concise method of rating of artist and albums. maybe even songs too (just create a selection of 10 top songs per artist etc.
I already have a preliminary draft, which of course will be an ever evolving list.
As for your list I can say that I completely don't agree with it :) I'll post my aprox list shortly so you can spot the differences. ------------- I'm always almost unlucky _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Id5ZcnjXSZaSMFMC Id5LM2q2jfqz3YxT |

So, you prefer the solo artists to their composite; The Beatles? STRANGE!!!

| I can't really help what makes me feel. the Beatles output just never grabbed me like John's Lennon/Plastic Ono Band did. Same goes for McCartney's Ram and Wings' Band on the Run. This is in no way a list of the 'best' bands. Such a thing is so subjective that it makes my tummy hurt. |
