Top 10 Artists of All Time 20th century American Musical Artists That is. Otherwise that would be a tad too broad I imagine 
Aaanyway, my method would include the three greatest artists of Rock, Jazz, and R&B each and then just....pull a tenth spot out of my ass. For Jazz 1.Duke Ellington 2.Louis Armstrong 3.Miles Davis For R&B 1.Ray Charles 2.James Brown 3.Stevie Wonder For Rock 1.Chuck Berry 2.The Beatles 3.Jimi Hendrix and the tenth spot Prince? Maybe? I don't know if he deserves to be in the top ten or not but I think he's one of the few artists who qualifies as a significant figure in at least two and perhaps all three of the most important genres of american music....well ok, having tried his hand at fusion a few times doesn't make him an important figure in jazz [Edited 9/26/04 0:59am] [Edited 9/26/04 1:00am] | |

There are three sides to every story. My side, your side, and the truth. And no one is lying. Memories shared serve each one differently | |

HOWEVER, rock n'roll is an american based music genre, and they certainly were a powerful force both in commercial success and artistic influence in America. | |
