100 Greatest Music Artists of All-Time

From Davesmusicdatabase: The Top 100 Greatest Music Artists of All-Time based on combining hundreds of best-of lists, sales, charts, streams/views, radio airplay, and awards. A great effort has been made to find lists that represent numerous genres and eras of music. Even so, this list still leans almost entirely on the 20th century, or roughly the era of recorded music, meaning classical music, such as composers like Ludwig van Beethoven, are absent from this list. Still, this list does at least acknowledge that there were big-name acts who made music prior to the rock era, something which few best-of lists seem to realize.
