100 Greatest Artist Of All Time

Starting Sept 6th VH1 will begin another one of their ever so popular "countdown series". You know, the shows everyone watches hungover on Saturday mornings. You have all seen the "100 greatest hits of the 80s" or the "greatest one hit wonders" or the "I love the 80s" series. You can't not love these shows. They are fantastic.

This is why I'm pretty excited for their new one. The "100 Greatest Artists of All Time". This one is going to be tough; I mean how do you really put a number on some of the greatest. Is one truly better then the other? In some cases yes, but in others I'm sure there are some that will always make an argument for or against one side. For example. Better rock band, Rolling Stones or Led Zeppelin. Debate! * Editors pick- Zeppelin all the way* Yet I know of a few people who would take the other side.

Its sure to be a great few hours of tv. With some fantastic music.

Here is a sneak peak of the top 20 artists (With the top 5 in alpha order just to keep the surprise)

20. Marvin Gaye
19. U2
18. Pink Floyd
17. Queen
16. Madonna
15. The Beach Boys (My first concert!)
14. Nirvana
13. The Who
12. David Bowie
11. Bob Marley
10. Stevie Wonder
9. James Brown
8. Elvis Presley
7. Prince
6. Jimi Hendrix

And the Top 5 in no particular order:
The Beatles
Bob Dylan
Michael Jackson
Led Zeppelin
Rolling Stones

My guess - The Beatles.
