AMF Top Artists of All Time 2022 Edition List Thread (Deadline: August 15)

Post by BleuPanda »

The rules are simple. Lists must contain a minimum of 50 artists, up to 250. Feel free to share a bigger list, but only the first 250 will be included. You can list them here or PM me - however, please post here if you PM your list so people can know (and so that I can be reminded once I am actually pulling the data together).

For easier data entry, please list artists as such:
The Beatles (not 'Beatles, The')
David Bowie (not 'Bowie, David')

The soft deadline is the end of August 15. The hard deadline is when I have pulled the data together and am almost ready to present - essentially, until I officially state submissions are closed, I will accept late lists (but still try to submit by July 31 to be safe).

I will create another thread where people can volunteer to write about our favorite bands - I will have more information about the process there. I am making separate threads so that this thread can be less cluttered.
Write-up Thread: viewtopic.php?f=2&t=10928

For the final results, I'll be using a variant of our standard formula (adjusted to fit 250 entries) - however, an artist will need to be featured in at least 3 separate lists to make the final presentation, even if their point value is in range with 2 or less.

Let me know if you have any questions.

I don't know if this has ever been discussed in previous versions of this poll, but do composers count as artists?

I feel like other people should have a say, but I want to say yes. I think classical composers make more sense here then classical pieces do in the song poll, so it would be strange to allow one and not the other.

Last time I think it was about recording artists, so composers didn't count, except if they recorded their own work. I don't really want to compare Beethoven to AC/DC. Film composers however were included I seem to remember.

Unlike my song and album lists, I do typically update my artist list throughout the year as new albums come out, so the one I submitted may not be the final form - though most changes will simply involve the new albums I hear. 2022 has already had a major impact on my list, with Big Thief leaping into my top 100 (they still would have been ~130-140 before their new album) and BCNR just barely cracking the top 250. I'm sure other artists will make similar jumps in the following months.

Post by andyd1010 »

I'll take a page out of Edre's book and post a preliminary list that will definitely change. This one is based purely on play counts (the number on the right) for songs in my top 10,000, which is pretty accurate for me, but I'll use some more discretion with the final list.

Tchaikovsky would have been in the 50s, and Debussy in the 90s. I found that when I liked various acts because of just one album, I seemed to subconsciously "punish" whichever of those acts had some bad material that I sat through.

1950s: Frank Sinatra / Elvis Presley
1960s: The Beatles
1970s: Neil Young
1980s: Prince

I'm not going to include composers, but it's great to see Ligeti so high up your list as the top ranking composer. He's easily my favorite post WW's composer and one of my favorite composers full stop.

Some interesting faves on your list (see the wows above).

Interesting that John Lennon rates at 229, but it appears that the Beatles were not among your faves.

Thanks for your reply. Now I'm curious why you think specifically those are interesting. And I would have expected Goat to be among them?

As for Lennon/The Beatles. I'm not a big fan of the Beatles, so they are not even close to getting a spot on the list. When I was exploring their music, as basically every music fan does at some point, I started to notice that the songs I did like were mostly Lennon's (and some Harrison's) and the songs that made sure I'm no fan of the Beatles were mostly McCarthy's (Yellow Submarine, When I'm Sixty-Four, Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da, (Wild) Honey Pie, Maxwell's Silver Hammer, you get the idea). Also, my two favorite solo works are from Lennon. I don't care too much for the other solo works.

I've had this list finished for two months now, thinking that maybe I'll do some work on it, but I probably won't. I can't really measure how much I like certain artists, so randomized a lot of it (as I usually do). Think of it more like a list containing my favorite artists than as a definitive statement which artists I like are better than other artists I also like. Taylor was definitive No. 1 from when I started compiling however (and I haven't even gone through half his discography!). The Beatles just missed the cut, btw. I included Bud Powell instead.
I hope some of the individual choices are also okay, like splitting up Nina Hagen and Nina Hagen Band.

Re: AMF Top Artists of All Time 2022 Edition List Thread (Deadline: July 31)

Post by Edre Depeche Head »

This is going to be my final Top 200 list I submit. I want to put a MASSIVE disclaimer. I know many people on this forum most likely constantly are making and updating lists like these. I don’t view music this way most of the time. Very rarely am I sitting down to rank my favourite artists so something like this is very rare for me since I am essentially doing it simply to have a good interaction with this community. I can guarantee within a month this list will be different but I will never complete it if I keep updating it. I haven't heard the complete discography of many of the artists on my list unfortunately so I am simply rating it based on my enjoyment from what I have heard. There is no method or formula to this, simply personal enjoyment.

It didn't take me very long to compile the list. Taking more time wouldn't probably change anything. Yet even more than ranking songs and albums this feels very imprecise. The top entries are very clear to me, but the further down we go the less clear the process gets. Especially ranking artists that have multiple careers (Paul Simon solo or with Garfunkel for example) is madness. I usually haven't included artists of whom I only liked or heard one album, with the exception of pre-album era artist. There are a lot of artists I think that would easily make the list if I just had heard more by them. Yet Phoebe Bridgers is there in the top 10, only five years in her career. I can't see this list making any sense to anyone but me, but this is a game that allows for such a thing.

Re: AMF Top Artists of All Time 2022 Edition List Thread (Deadline: July 31)

Post by mileswide »

've ordered my artists by the number of their albums in my current all-time list as well as their amount of four-star-albums in my eyes. I've then overruled that ranking method when I feel an artist should be higher or lower. Everyone I've included have two in those categories apart from Mbongwana Star, who only have one album to date, and The Stone Roses, whose debut is too adored by me for them to be left out. Thanks for organising, BleuPanda!
