This thread could either go really well and everyone has a good time, or certain ''Stans'' will start appearing.
I want no mention of Gene Simmons, Lady Gaga or Taylor Swift in this thread, please.:sleep: |

I'm not familiar enough with each genre to pretend I know who would be ultimate legend of each. I will however post my opinions on the genres I am familiar with.
Pop - Madonna (more modern- Britney, Lady Gaga, Rihanna) Rock - Bon Jovi Soul - Tina Turner Alternative (too broad a spectrum of genre's here) R&B - Beyonce Hip-Hop/Rap - Jay-Z/Eminem Country - Johnny Cash/Patsy Cline Dance (again very broad range of potential genres). Possibly, Madonna, Britney, Rihanna... |

As above I'm not familiar with each to give an opinion on everything. However,
Pop - Gotta be the Beatles Rock - Deep Purple (the Paice-Glover-Lord-Blackmore-Gillan line-up) Classical - J.S. Bach Country - I think Kenny Rodgers. Soul - I suppose would be Aretha Franklin As for 20-30 years, who knows? |

contemporary r&b - beyonce
hip-hop soul (not the same as soul by itself) - mary j blige hip-hop/rap - grandmaster flash + the furious five, eminem (he's pretty good ) Dr Dre, Jay-Z. In hip-hop the list is massive.pop - MJ and Madonna soul - james brown and aretha franklin dance - hard one, anyone can claim the title...madonna/rihanna for that one. and the black eyed peas (people hate them) but they have created some serious ultimate party tunes. hard to say...beyonce is stunning in regards to contem. r&b, performs with the ferocity of MJ and james brown and has them killer vocals. for an r&b artist now, she's the one to sit and take notes from. in the future, lady gaga will try and give madonna a run for her money - i like her but if she wasn't using a lot of madonna's ideas, then she'd be amazing. no one can be entirely original, but you know what I mean. Nicki minaj will be a force to be reckoned with in the future, a female rap artist with pop, hip-hop & r&b appeal. they don't come around often...if at all. not a fan of altern., classical or rock so I cant say on those. |

Pop- The Beatles (Completley re-defined/ re-invented it)
Rock- Jimi Hendrix (One of the first "guitar heroes" of rock- and he personified a generation) Soul- Aretha Franklin (To many, she is the voice of soul) Alternative- The Cure (Forget their rubbish later years, these are a highly influential band) R&B- R Kelly (Yeah, I know... but seriously, he was one of the first to give us the sound that dominates the charts today) Hip-Hop/Rap- Kanye West (A pioneer in this field) Country- Dolly Parton (The Queen of Crossover- she has done more work than any other country artist in making it mainstream) Dance- Hot Chip (Totally reveloutionary but also commerically succesful) |

Pop - The Bealtes. Goes without saying really
Rock - Led Zep. Not really a fan but you can still see their influence in loads of rock music Soul - James Brown Alternative - can't decide between The Cure, The Smiths or Joy Division R&B - not interested Hip-Hop/Rap - Public Enemy Country - Johnny Cash Dance - not sure what is meant by Dance. The Bee Gees probably ![]() Classical - J S Bach As for the future, who knows? |

I wouldn't of said Oasis.... rock legends are the rolling stones, led zeppelin or pink floyd.
You really think Green Day are better than any of them? But given the choice...I'd still listen to Green Day or the Foos. |
