The 40 greatest bands in the US today?
The UK broadsheet newspaper The Guardian tabulated their list of the 40 greatest artists in UK music a couple weeks ago now does the same for the US. Is their list on point or way off the mark? The debate starts here.... My thoughts? I think they missed a lot of good acts, commerical (Nas, Jay-Z) and underground (Little Brother or Atmosphere for the nerd rap fans out there, anyone?) but that's subject to debate. They also did a decent job of acknowledging that a lot of acts making noise out there are doing so because of the producers behind their music like Timbaland, the Neptunes and DFA although leaving Dr. Dre off that list is inexplicable to me.
