And I think that Ziggy Stardust, Aladdin Sane, Station To Station, Low, Heroes, Lodger and Scary Monsters are as near perfection as you get. Hunky Dory, Diamond Dogs and Young Americans are a bit more wobbly, but still pretty stellar. He never had quite the commercial success as Prince and Stevie, but certainly can hold his own creatively.
Again, it depends where you look. He's had more success with his albums than both Prince and Stevie in the UK.  | |

Actually, if you think about it, there's loads. as GangstaFam pointed out, Bjork is one. Time for a new thread. Good night, sweet Prince | 7 June 1958 - 21 April 2016

jjhunsecker said: Stevie's run of artistic and commercial success is quite amazing, Surely that will cement his status as an all-time great.
Another great run - Led Zeppelin (1969-1980)- essentially their entire career, with no major missteps. It just seems that sometimes an artist has a hot streak , where nothing can go wrong : Stones (1968-1972), Prince (1980-1988), Elvis Costello (1977-1983) Jimi Hendrix (1967-1970), Bob Dylan (1964-1968) James Brown (1964-1974) I'll stand up for the rock bands: Led Zeppelin 1969-1977 Queen 1973-1978 Black Sabbath 1969-1975 Rush 1973-1980 | |

paligap said: Yeah, It'd have to be Stevie, considering not only output and critical acclaim but commercial acceptance--and Looking at both the Pop and R&B charts over a decade....Steveland Morris/Judkins Hardaway would be the one....

I'm so ashamed for not thinking of this artist. When it comes to creative streaks, how about Bob Marley? |
