I kid you not, I was going to start a thread about listing your favorite 10 artists from each decade!

1970s: Donna Summer
1980s: Prince
1990s: Martha Wash
2000s: Jamiroquai

1970s: Parliament
1980s: Michael Jackson and Prince (tie)
1990s: Tupac
2000s: Eminem

70s:Bowie
80s:Prince
90s:Nine Inch Nails
00s:Outkast

britney spears

1970s: Bob Marley
1980s: Michael Jackson
1990s: Tupac Shakur
2000s: Outkast

1960's: James Brwon
1970's: Jackson 5/JAcksons
1980's: Michael Jackson
1990's: Prince
2000's: OutKast

1970's - Bowie
1980's - Madonna
1990's - U2
2000's - Arcade Fire


Of course, this leaves out Prince and the Talking Heads for the '80's
I think Madonna was great in the '90's and 2000's, and U2 was great in the '80s and the '00's. IMO, also, REM and Depeche were great from the 80's to the '00s.

bowie, prince, janet, u2, and tori have been my favorite artists through multiple decades. heck, bowie would find himself in all of these decades.

you can be favorite 00 to...but i need to hear sumthin firstt.

70's - The Jacksons, there more late 70's / early 80's but i'll consider them 70's

80's - Guns'n'roses, again like the jacksons there more then one decade, there more late 80's / early 90's, but i'll consider them 80's

90's - all the artists i like from this decade are more then just the 90's so i cant really think of anyone at all. i guess i'll say The spice Girls because they were my favourtie artists in the 90's when i was a kid

00's - Christina Aguilera, im not a huge fan of her either, but i dont really like anyone elses full body of work from this decade.


i didnt say Michael Jackson or Madonna for any decade even thought they are my favourite artists ever, as i love all their work, i dont see them as just a particular decade

i think its telling how bad music is these days with so many people struggling to find their favorite artist of this current decade

You ain't lying. I had a hard time choosing one from the 1990s also.
