Did You Agree With This Top 12?

If you decided would it be the same? If it wouldn't who would fill those spots?

I'd probably pick these 12, in no particular order. It's a mix of who I think is important and who I think is amazing.

Chuck Berry

The Velvet Underground

The Beatles

The Rolling Stones

Bob Dylan

James Brown

Jimi Hendrix

David Bowie

Stevie Wonder

Prince

Madonna

Björk

I feel like they do these kinds of lists all the time and it's always the same. The Beatles or Elvis at #1. Wouldn't you feel the need to shake it up at least once? But I was surprised that they've ranked James Brown and Stevie pretty high, for once.

Kind of a weird list with MJ so high. and Bob Marley on there at all. I suppose they just compiled people's FAVORITES, with little regard to impact, influence, etc.

Where I agreed with VH1 the most was the Top 12 or Top 10, whichever you want to look at it. That's why I posted it. Even if I'm not a full out fan of them, even if I may not agree with the specific order I can understand why they're all there.

Well, besides the obvious, as time moves on and the baby boomers start to retire or pass this list will continue to change as it already has. MJ is up a lot higher than he was last time and this version of the list includes hip hop artists. As time goes on many older acts will start to climb down the list as evidenced by the fact that Elvis is already not in the top 5 as they usually place him somewhere in there. If VH1 continues to exist in 20-30 years from now, this list will make an even bigger shift. This is what happens as evidenced in that pop icons thread.

That's a disaster! Justin Timberlake is more important than Buddy Holly? And he and Coldplay are better than Otis Redding? And Björk is nowhere to be found?
