Critical Consensus: 100 Most Essential Musical Artists

My Critical Consensus projects avoid personal opinion; they are aggregate mathematical polls intended to measure the true consensus of critical and popular opinion as to what is considered the greatest of all time. Sources are selected to provide the widest cross-reference of opinion while maintaining a wide acceptance of legitimacy. Results for this list are derived from an accumulation of results from previously tabulated Critical Consensus lists for essential albums and songs, plus other lists of greatest artists, singers, songwriters, bands, etc. from those sources, plus any career honors such as Kennedy Center, Medal of Arts, R&R Hall. Comments and questions relating to winners, purpose, or methodology always welcome.
