IMHO Elton John... Not just for ranking, hits and that stuff. I really think he's a great composer and a honest pop artist...

I don't care what Billboard says. To me the greatest band will always be...um... it depends on my mood, right now it's Art Zoyd.

I have two candidates, both of recent exposure: one, mexican masterband RBD, a group of youngsters full of talent, musical knowledge, professional skills, beauty, sex-appeal, I mean, truly they are above the rest. You should see their vocal approach toward their songs: it´s a mix of baroque-poliphonic singing mixed with dodecaphonic and serial elements learned from Webern, with some grindcore elements thrown in for good. You should pay attention when the two female singers get the spotlight, then the harmonic balance that the masculine singers give to the music is just worthy of a place of honor in modern music theory. The other artist is reggaetton´s master mind Don Omar: before Daddy Yankee, there was Don Omar. His hit "pobre diabla" easily outclasses any music since Guilliame De Machaut.
 
But all of these PALE in comparison to MASTER OF MASTERS EL GENERAL. This center-american ethereal artist crafted some of the best lyrics ever, comparing women to coca-cola bottles and using the common metaphor of the banana to refer to a certain body part, but he gave us more than poetry: he gave us music of unexpected simplicity yet unearthly beauty, taking the language of the notes to new heights that even Bach and Beethoven wouldn´t be able to reach were they alive to listen to the master´s work.
 
This even tops Arjona, my most hated artist of all time.

Dude... what the hell are you talking about... Juanes is mainstream compared to Arjona's jazz-fusion band

could this be any easier? I know you selected them based on chart positions, but come on, Janet Jackson, Madonna, Mariah Carey. Zeppelin should be here. They are the top selling hard rock band and, if I recall correctly, all of their albums have gone at least platinum. The Supremes, Elton and Stevie are great, but The Beatles win in a landslide.

Clearly MENUDO.

They were the best possible band anywhere, ever -- past, present or future (or in any other posited time-space dimensions).




To maintain otherwise is rank ignorance, or basest ignoble self-deception.

I loved his first 7" single, but his later works don't impress me much. Anyway, the Beatles are great but I voted for The King.

    You know that Elvis didn't even write his own songs.


I do know that, but he was a great performer.

I actually like 4 of those and have regularly listened to all but the supremes. I guess its the Beatles but not because the others are terrible. Elvis had some great music as well so its kinda a toss up between him and the Beatles.

Lousy selection of "music". Have to vote Beatles.
