Rolling Stone Magazine had a '100 Greatest Artists of All Time' list 6 years ago.

Looking back, which artists need to move up, which ones need to move down, and who needs to be added?

Now... think 'objectively' here.

I don't like Kanye, but if I consider his impact he moves up (is he even there?) not sure how high, but he'd move up. I don't even think he's a top 10 rapper, but one can't deny his impact.

What about the FooFighters? RHCP? RATM? QOTSA? Tool? Beyonce? Drake? Lady Gaga?

Looking at discography, impact, quality, etc.etc. who moves up, who moves down?

Do we move The Eagles down and replace them with Pearl Jam?

Does CCR get dethroned by FooFighters?

Kanye? Are you ****ing kidding me? Nothing against the guy, it is just obvious that he is nothing special. Linkin park has more talent by far.

no they don't.

Kanye is a great producer and very talented rapper and performer and he is responsible for a lot of classic albums.

Broski don't even do this. Kanye is a mediocre rapper and a solid producer. At best. Linkin park over this kid any day.

Some of these suggestions are terrible. Queens of the Stone Age? Really? What about Nickelback?

Like even if you love Linkin Park and hate kanye it's obvious that kanye is "greater"
Nah man. I am bias as ****. Also prefer rap over rock. By far. Even I know that linkin park hybrid theory>>>> kanye's career. Shit is common sense really.

Feel like your yankin my chain, guy
Guy I'm not yanking your chain, eh. Kanye kardashian has an extensive discography that doesn't touch the greatness that "In the end" and "Papercut" reached among many others. Quality over quantity.

We really going to debate a Rolling Stone list?

It's Rolling Stone, the list is garbage. Enough said.

As much as i like linkin park, just no. Stop it. The production alone is better on kanyes albums.

For the record, I gave absolutely no thought on what I typed.

I just threw out a bunch of random artists to give examples.

And NO QOTSA are not terrible.

He's not a top 10 rapper. But he's a top 3 producer and a pretty good rapper (and a way better rapper than any other top producer), so put those two together and he's a beast.

Hell naw he's not a top 3 producer.

Not even sure he cracks top 10

As far as rapper/producer there are still at least 5 above him that I can think of.

Why on earth is Jay-Z on this list? He only went downhill after Reasonable Doubt.
