Yes, it has been done before but people change their minds and tastes all the time. So, who are your 10 favorite music artists? I am going to do bands and solo artists: Bands 1 - Pink Floyd 2 - Genesis 3 - Roxy Music 4 - The Who 5 - The Band 6 - Led Zeppelin 7 - Queen 8 - The Byrds 9 - The Allman Brothers Band 10 - Radiohead Honorable mentions: Sigur Ros, Lynyrd Skynyrd, ELP, Yes, Gang of Four, Wire, Public Image Ltd., Pere Ubu, The Church, Slowdive, My Bloody Valentine, The Cure, The Smiths, Cream, The Doors, Love, Can, Sonic Youth, Deerhunter, Wilco, Gong, Kansas, Animal Collective, and Manic Street Preachers. Solo Artists 1 - Van Morrison 2 - Bruce Springsteen 3 - Captain Beefheart 4 - Bob Dylan 5 - Neil Young 6 - Leonard Cohen 7 - Marvin Gaye 8 - Stevie Wonder 9 - Tom Waits 10 - David Bowie Honorable mentions: Beck, Nick Drake, Nick Cave, PJ Harvey, Rickie Lee Jones, Joni Mitchell, Prince, Sun Ra, Miles Davis, Frank Zappa, John Coltrane, and Lee "Scratch" Perry
Beefheart under solo artists? The guy was a credit hog. He would've been just another crazy dude without that band.

1.RHCP 2.The White Stripes 3.The Beatles 4.Led Zeppelin 5.Pink Floyd 6.Beck 7.Hendrix 8.Smashing Pumpkins 9.Nirvana 10.Pearl Jam
