Who do you think is the greatest music artist of the 20th Century? + band

Deleted User

Bowie +

I can't define 'greatest' so I suspect we will end up with 'favourite'.

I need to come back to the band.

    Does greatness mean it has to be recognised by the many? Where does originality come into it and the impact on wider society? Is the impact felt less now by contemporary music because accessibility and originality is more diluted? What about inspiration? Some of the bands mentioned already existed within a boom in culture arts etc. The fact humans "express" themselves online these days - does this mean, such things (as political discontent for example) don't get expressed? What's the inspiration for musicians today?

    That's a lot of questions.
