The Top Five…Artists of All Time
So after posting WXPN’s listening generated Top 885 Artists of All Time list, I thought to myself - who would I choose? Not knowing what criteria they used to determine the list really doesn’t matter that much. After all, this is my list right?
I guess I could grade them on their overall body of work, or the impact their music had on me in my short 30 years on the planet. I could also look at prior favorites and see if they still make me feel the same way I once did about them.
There is pivotal music in our lives. But maybe it meant more at that time then it means today. I can love a group, for example like REM for a period of time, but do I still feel strongly about them today? In the case of REM - that would be a no. I like them and I have several albums of theirs. But in the overall picture - do they warrant being in the DunganNation Top Five?
So after 24 hours of long and hard thinking - I have come up with my list:
My Top Five Artists of All Time:
- U2
- Johnny Cash
- Ben Folds
- Bob Dylan
- The Jayhawks
Agree or disagree? Who is in your top five?
