VH1 (one of the signals on MTV, focused on music from memory) constantly makes lists to group the best artists (both past and present) in different genera or following any topic, almost always with an emphasis on what they can, music videos, as they have to his credit a large file.

But this time they decided something quite risky and delicate count with the best artists in history. A controversial issue, subject to all sorts of judgments, which depends on your approach, though predictable in this case.

The funny thing is that people Stereogum flashback does for us and reminds us that these people had already made the top "100 Greatest Artists of Rock n 'Roll" and that this list (which should hold a wide variety of genres case colorful world of mainstream) does not differ much from that for the positions of his podium and several of its positions.

Anyway, after the jump you can find the full list, and our comments section to tell us whether you agree with it or not. What, for you, the best artists in history?
