The ten greatest of music

No. It's difficult to put many bands into categories, but I'd say it's more of a blues/rock/jazz combo.

But did they see you?

Hahaha!!! Nice!

No, I'm sure they didn't! Especially since most members had to be helped to the stage.

Well, my list is kind of all over the place, I like so many different styles of music. This is in no particular order:

Mozart, Beethoven, Chopin, Bizet, Van Halen, Metallica, Megadeath, System of a Down, Nirvana, Foo Fighters, U2, Bob Marley, The Isley Brothers, Scorpions, Soundgarden, Snoop Dogg, Sting/The Police, Paul Simon, Johnny Cash, The Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, The Eagles, Anthrax, Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton/Cream, Alice in Chains, Dire Straits, Bob Dylan, White Snake, Weezer, Galactic Cowboys, The Killers, Earth Wind and Fire, Stevie Wonder, James Brown, Otep, Judas Priest, Sublime, Alter Bridge, Tremonte, Parliament, and Prince. Just to name a few lol. If I haven't bored you yet, I have a lot more that I could mention

Hey, is that Charles Barkley?!?

Bach, Handel, Phil Woods, Gerry Mulligan, Dexter Gordon, Cannonbal Adderley, Blood Sweat and Tears, Marcello, Manos HadjiDakis, Bill Evans...

I wonder if anyone will mention Chumbawumba?!!

Thank you very much for your lists, AlCzervik, LisaV, konhidras, BorrisKarloff, cauliflowery, pdela, PhasersOnStun, and himath2009!

That is a truly excellent list, EP.  

Some I like which I haven't seen mentioned:

Dan Tyminski

Florence + The Machine

Jai Uttal

Dame Joan Sutherland

Freddy Mercury

Dean Martin

Frank Sinatra

I'm sure I'll think of a million more later.

Thank you, CJ

Just cut a few and it will be perfect  I don't see Liszt and Rachmaninov though...

Stravinsky? Moller? Richard Strauss?

Thanks, corrijean! Nice list

Don't mention it Trysts. Enjoy the music

Yeah, that list started out reasonably promising before rapidly deteriorating. Must be on purpose.

I forgot Salieri

I find a strong analogy between Salieri and Cristiano Ronaldo (aka CR7)

Top 10 all time in music? I would suggest that one way to judge that is by how many musicians a composer influences after his own time. 

Start with the three "B's -- Bach, Brahams and Beethoven. Toss in Motzart, Wagner, Verdi,  Purcell, Cage, Stravinsky, Tchaikovsky,and Haydn. 

Then argue about which one to cut from the list :)

Tom Waits. No one's given him a mention yet.

I think it would be better to compile a top 10 (maybe top 5 would be better) of composers in the various time periods of music like Classical, Romantic, ect.
