Title: The fifty greatest artists of alll time (Rolling Stone)
Post by: origen on March 31, 2004, 01:24:22 pm: Absence of Grateful Dead clearly the biggest oversight.

Also they can include rap but not metal? Black Sabbath definitely belongs. I\'m sick of Metallica but they still seem like a logical fit for lifetime achievement. Trhrow in Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, and Slayer and maybe you have a list.

I think some of the soul and motown songs on there are actually pretty huge....

The writer is obviously aware only of VH1 and Golden Oldie shows and reads everything he believes in the mainstream music press.

I already have some pretty sick interviews lined up and some decent writers on board, though I\'m always looking for new ones, so if anyone wants to be published shoot me a PM and we\'ll work out the details:)

Also I have to concur with any posts disagreeing with Cobain\'s position. He wouldn\'t have even made the top 100 if he hadn\'t done us all a favour with a 12 bore. Greater than the doors, Who or janis?? Nowhere even close!!!

Also jimi is way above the Stones
Title: The fifty greatest artists of alll time (Rolling Stone)
Post by: Wolfman on March 26, 2004, 09:01:05 am: My favorite Jimmy Smith albums are Unfinished Business and Groove Drops 3+1.

As far as Rolling Stone goes, I don\'t get too fired up over these lists. They\'re a great gimmic for selling magazines, not some "official" list that a lot of people think it is. Fame always wins out over musicianship too, because famous musicians, again, sell magazines, therefore Rolling Stone likes them better. As long as you\'ve got some huge list and a "special issue" ribbon on the cover, you\'re gonna sell more mags, so I don\'t put any stock in the lists.

Actually, what I do get out of them though, is discovering some good music lost in the middle of the lists. Like with the 500 best albums list a few months ago, I just used #300-500 as a guide to check out some groups I had never really considered before. That worked well.

*drooooool*... you lucky bastard. Is he still around and playing? There are few people I would like to see more.

Jimmy Smith Live at Club Baby Grand- a must have. It\'s on Blue Note I believe. One of my all-time favorite versions of Sweet Georgia Brown.

Post by: jocelyn on March 25, 2004, 02:31:39 pm: Yeah I guess you\'re right. But in that case, it couldn\'t be a 50 person list. There\'s just no way. You\'d need 100 slots at least. I mean, Miles, \'trane, Sonny Rollins, Corea, Monk, Jimmy Smith, Bird, Clarke, Louis Arm, Ella.... it would get HUGE if you had every type of music artist!

Lennon gets his own spot but Harrison and/or McCartney dont???????

Idiots!!!!

The Rolling Stones: Good tunes, but not a "great" band.

Aretha Franklin: Singing "Respect", originally an Otis Redding tune about women respecting their men... not exactly how it\'s thought of today.

U2: I don\'t like them. Maybe they belong on the list, but not ahead of Neil Young, The Doors, The Who and The Clash.

Nirvana: For the 1,000,000th time, WHAT DID KURT COBAIN DO?

Prince: Just the fact that he\'s not ahead of Nirvana...

Patti Smith: Apparently Rolling Stone needed an extra woman to make this list PC.

Oh yeah, AND WHERE IS THE GRATEFUL DEAD?

1. A very sucesful corporation with captial.
2. A magazine idea that has not been done and will appeal to a mass audience.

You will make very little profit and most likely just break even. Its a nice outlet for your company if you can afford it. Who knows, maybe one day it will be Relix who?
