Might be worth a top 10 female artist list at some point? 😉
She’s in my top 3 for sure. I’d assume in most anyone’s top 10 female artists, along with Aretha, Dolly, Madonna, Joni Mitchell, Whitney Houston, Amy Winehouse, Janis Joplin, Karen Carpenter, Gaga, Billie Holliday
0. Gary Stewart
9. Dolly Parton
8. Waylon Jennings
7. George Jones
6. George Strait
5. Patsy Cline
4. Willie Nelson
3. Johnny Cash
2. Merle Haggard
1. Hank Williams Sr.
Even if you think that McCartney wasn’t as good of a songwriter as Lennon he was still light years ahead of Prince. Prince wrote some nice music, but my kids don’t even know who he is. He music didn’t endure There isn’t a person in the western world who doesn’t know and love a dozen or more of McCartney sings.
Gaga plays the piano, acoustic guitar and the drums.
She's an all-time song-writer.
Iconic performer and singer.
Great stuff Ketch. Always enjoy your work. Also appreciate you taking the time to answer all the replies. Great list on music, agree with many that Lennon would be way up there on my personal list. Huge Beatles fan and I’ve never been able to pick a fav between he and McCartney songs. Both just so amazing and wherever I put them on any top ten they’d be right next to each other. Agree on prince. Good take by some on Holley. Short career, great songs and such an influence on others. Lol on Stevie nicks. Sang on some great songs for sure but never saw her play more than a tambourine.
I can’t name a single Gaga song, but I’ll take your word for it. Her music just doesn’t appeal to me.
Thanks for sharing. I might do a female list next week. I have no idea where she'll finish, but she's an all-timer.
Fair enough. Not my jam but hats off on her talent. Madonna is the best selling female artist ever, and Taylor will pass her in time...gotta give them hats off for their talent too, and both are better songwriters and more prolific than Gaga.
She does pretty much every kind of music.
Her album with Tony Bennett is dope.
I've always loved this performance,
Madonna is the queen of pop, but why would you put her on the list?
Taylor is a good songwriter (maybe great), but she's not an all-time vocalist, performer or musician.
Nothing wrong with that. I've been surfing Youtube as well.
She ain’t my jam either, but Madonna has done it all for decades…writer, singer, performer, best selling female artist of all time. That doesn’t garner consideration?
Tell my daughter Taylor isn’t any of those things…old white guys ain’t her market. Of course, this is your list…it is subjective somewhat. I weight songwriting first on the talent list.
so, he's too high as one of the most creative, most ahead of his times musicians in history?
She's an iconic performer and wrote a lot of her songs, but she's not a great vocalist and she only plays one instrument and no one would call her elite on the guitar.
Only one of these songs made it on the soundtrack of the 1992 Charles Grodin, Bonnie Hunt classic “Beethoven,” so… I think the answer is pretty obvious.
At least half of the guys on your list are not great vocalists (one isn’t even a singer but a producer)…several played primarily one instrument. Just playing a little devils advocate.
Frankly, love or hate him, but Sting is probably a top 10 talent as well.
hard to fathom that a 3 loss Texas team could still make the Big12 title game but it's a true reality.
hopefully this bigtime KSU win propels this team to close the season on fire and win out so we don't have to ponder & stress on tie-breaking scenarios.

Sting's a good nomination.
I'm just not sure that Madonna is all-time great in anything other than performing.
Listing the xylophone and vibes as two separate instruments may be technically accurate but, as a percussionist, is a pretty big stretch. It’s different, but not really.
And I’m hoping there is some other instrument called shaker that isn’t what I think it is, because if so, I can play like 50 instruments including the maracas, triangle, castanets, tambourine, cowbell, gong, finger cymbals, guiro, wind chimes, etc etc. I don’t mean to be pedantic, I just think it trivializes his talent to list something like that in his favor.
This was, by far, my big beef with Ketch's list, too.
I could make a pretty good argument for putting John and George higher than Prince, while we're at it.
Brian Wilson needs to be higher. A good list but my personal off the cuff:
1. Paul McCartney
2. Miles Davis
3. Brian Wilson
4. Jimi
5. John Lennon
6. Stevie Wonder
7. Howlin' Wolf (or Lightnin' Hopkins)
8. Coltrane
9. Ray Davies
10. Johnny Cash
Ketch, a couple things:
What do you think the second half issue are? I rewatched the game today and the execution is what stood out to me. Outside of the final drive, I thought the play calling was good and not “Turtle Sark”
How is there not one piece of evidence to send the aggies into sanction Hell? It seems everyone and their grandma knows what’s going on down there yet no one can (or wants to?) provide the smoking gun

Last comment…Madonna wrote or co-wrote her songs on 14 albums over 40 years in a variety of styles…that’s talent even if you personally don’t like the songs.
Fun topic, and I agree that Prince tops the list as all time freak talent, but I listen to and enjoy Sir Paul‘s catalog way more. Top 2 were easy, albeit an argument for either is legit.
