And the winner is...

The Shifted Librarian has a link to NME's list of the most influential artists of the last 50 years. I thought it was pretty interesting. They based it on a number of factors that had to do with the artists various appearances and mentions in NME.

The top 10 is as follows:

  1. The Smiths

  2. The Beatles

  3. Stone Roses

  4. David Bowie

  5. Sex Pistols

  6. Oasis

  7. Radiohead

  8. Paul Weller/The Jam

  9. U2

  10. Public Enemy

The more I think about this, the more I think the list is pretty accurate, at least with who is on it. I think the ordering is debatable. I was quite happy to see Paul Weller/The Jam on there myself. I'd actually like to see 11-20 myself. I think the top 20 would give a more interesting view of things. There are lots of people I would expect to see there.
