Top 10 Greatest Artists Of All Time!

August 22, 2025 19

Or at least according to Rolling Stone magazine!

The list has fans divided. Some praised it, while some said things like:

From Rock Royalty, to Legends of Soul, here is Rolling Stone’s “Top 10 Greatest Artists of all Time!”

10. Ray Charles

9. Aretha Franklin

2. Bob Dylan

Don’t get me wrong, AMAZING artists!

But this list someone just googled “Music Artists from Back in the Day,” and threw 10 names in a hat!

No Otis Redding!? No Queen!? No ACDC!?

Even modern artists deserve a shot?

I think there is confusion at Rolling Stone HQ between “Greatest” and “Legendary…”

Again, don’t get me wrong, I love ALL the artists on the list, and sure these things are personal so each to their own, but this feels but this feels like a cop out by Rolling Stone…

Who is your Top 10 Greatest of all Time?
