Post what you think are the top 20 artists. Not RM's. Yours.
Is it what you think are the top 20 artists or your favorite top 20 artists? Those can be very different.
Jorge's gonna be pissed
Why? They can most certainly be mutually exclusive. I can acknowledge the fact that Bob Dylan is one of the greatest artists of all time, but he’s nowhere near one of my favorites.
Some would say that there isn't a difference between "favorite" and "best." It's all subjective. Jorge and LV have fought this battle multiple times here in pages of RM.
But there is a difference. I just illustrated that.

Eh, it's nuanced, if by "greatest artists of all time" you're talking about influence and overall "importance" then yeah but isn't that a really boring list to try and put together?

Potentially. But it definitely would be a different list than my personal all-time favorites list.

But if you mean "I can recognize that he's GOOD I just don't LIKE it" then yeah that's stupid but I'm too tired of having that debate
No. I don’t subscribe to this line of thinking. It’s like Bruce Springsteen. Most would consider him one of the best ever. I do not. Other than a handful of songs, I don’t care for him at all. And don’t think he’s all that great.

It's why I used the word "Top". Favorite means one thing...Best means another. "Top" doesn't really mean anything, so you can do whatever you want with it.

That’s no way to make my decision for me.
How about I submit two lists and you pick which one to use?

You used "Top" because the original thread used "Top"
