(Taking Sean's Idea) List Your Top 15 Solo Artists
Posted: 3/23/2004, 10:15 am
by Neil
When I think of bands (like Sean's original thread) I don't really think of solo artists..........so post your top 15 solo artists here. I know that many solo artists have bands that play behind them, but you of course don't even hear about them. Hell......I never knew Beyonce had a freakin band.
Mine are: (in no particular order)
Eminem
Bob Segar
Sting
Darius Rucker
Brian McKnight
2Pac
Jay-Z
Eric Clapton
LL Cool J
Robbie Williams
Seal
Toby Keith
Dave Matthews
Paul McCartney
Bono (Perhaps not solo....but the man is amazing by himself)

When it comes to ranking solo artists, mostly I can think of is some female pop artists that I don't even like much, and it's so hard to find a rock solo artist out there. So I can't make up a list of 15 solo I actually like...But allow me to be cheezy, of all the pop solo stars, I like Robbie Williams, Christina Aguilera and Madonna, and Kylie Minogue a bit. And of all the so-called rock, alternative or whatever edgier than pure pop solo artists, I'd like to say Alanis Morissette, Sam Roberts, David Usher, Sarah McLachlan and John Mayer a little bit...There might be a few more but I can't think of for now.

Eva Cassidy

Miles Davis
