Comparable to being the Beatles of hip hop. They are (including a few others) the beginnings of the fastest growing genre next to alternative rock today.

Arguably the best and most original rap group of all time. Consists of members Layzie Bone, Krayzie Bone, Bizzy Bone, Wish Bone, and Flesh-N-Bone. They've worked with artists like Tupac, The Notorious B.I.G., Big Pun, Mariah Carey, 3LW, Yolanda Adams, Eazy E, among many others. Michael Jackson and Big Pun have said Bone was their favorite rap group.

I noticed the majority of entries on this list were the old, but what about the new! Sword Promises are each as talented as beethoven, but put put into something much more pleasing to listen to. Songs like Blood and sweat and All you need to know just blow me away everytime i hear it. They're changing music on their own and thats something that hasn't been done in decades.

Original how? Oh, what, you mean the whole quiet/loud thing? Oh yeah, revolutionary stuff. Quiet/loud had never been done before that, Kerrang magazine says so, so it must be true! This band invented volume. No really.

An obscure but great composer of songs Dwijendralal Ray composed astonishingly beautiful songs.

One of the greatest song composers who ever lived, Atulprasad Sen composed many of the most profound and beautiful songs ever composed. Atulprasad Sen despite being one of the most gifted song composers who ever lived, remains unjustly neglected and undervalued.

He was the charimatic singer from "the Sweet".The one and only who can sing the old songs.Died too young.Sadly missed his voice.
But he is not forgotten.He still lives in our heart

I know what you're thinking. You're thinking "what on earth did Brian Connolly do to deserve such a high ranking?" Well, I'll tell you. He released three singles in the early Eighties. Wait, what do you mean that's not good enough? What more do you want?
He lives his music till the end, greatest performer of all time

As far as electro-digital producers, this guy (as a musician) is unreal, and literally has created sounds never heard before.

THE EMPRESS OF JAPANESE POP MUSIC!!!
Info:
Ayumi Hamasaki is a famous Japanese singer-songwriter and former actress. Also called Ayu by her fans, Hamasaki has been dubbed as the "J-Pop Empress" by mass media due to her popularity and widespread influence in Japan. Born and raised in Fukuoka, she moved to Tokyo at fourteen to pursue a career in entertainment. In 1998, under the tutelage of Avex CEO Max Matsuura, she released a string of modestly selling singles that concluded with her 1999 debut album A Song for ××. The album debuted atop the Oricon charts and stayed there for four weeks, establishing her popularity in Japan.
Because of her constantly changing image and tight control over her artistry, Hamasaki's popularity extends across Asia; music and fashion trends she has started have spread to countries such as China, Singapore, Taiwan, Korea, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Brazil, France, Germany, Canada and the United States. She has appeared in or lent her songs to many advertisements and television commercials numbering over 650. Though she originally supported the exploitation of her popularity for commercial purposes, she later reconsidered and eventually opposed her status as an Avex "product".
Since her 1998 debut Hamasaki has sold over 75 million records across Asia, with over 50 million of those sales in Japan alone, ranking her among the best-selling singers in the continent as well as her respective country. As a female singer, Hamasaki holds several domestic records for her singles, such as the most number-one hits, the highest sales, and the most million-sellers. From 1999 to 2009, Hamasaki had at least one single each year top the charts. Hamasaki is the first female singer to have eight studio albums since her debut to top the Oricon and the first artist to have an album debut at number-one for 11 consecutive years.

One of the fastest rising rappers/songwriters/entertainers out of the overshadowed state of New Jersey. Made the only hip-hop New Jersey anthem that everyone in the state loves called "Jersey Go Hard."

Exceptional lyricist, and musician brings hip hop to its blues, soul, poetry and rock and roll roots.

Great Composer of over 2000 songs and innovator of musical epistemology, Rabindranath Tagore is one of the most profound and original great composers in world history. Rabindranath Tagore is tragically neglected in the west as his compositions have not been adequately translated from Swaralipi notation into Western stave notation and because the song lyrics have not been adequately translated from the original Bengali into English. J.S. Bach has a mastery of counterpoint,Beethoven of deep emotion, Mozart of grace, Vivaldi of beauty; but Rabindranath Tagore's profound songs perhaps more than the compositions of any other composer give peace.

He sucks but the only reason why he get his things sold is because girls think he's cute but guys think they cant listen to music when there is a girl singing or at least it sounds like one. Even if he is attractive it is about the music not the looks. Look at Lil Wayne. XD
Justin Bieber is a true phenomenon and his music is good (really listen to his songs all of them more than once hear the soul is his voice the feeling he gives off it's powerful). People are not seeing beyond the fact that he looks so young it's okay if you don't age as fast as others. You don't see it now but he has IT!
the only reason people buy his cds is because they think he is cute some people r deaf because they actually like his music btw he is not that cute
well obviously he shouldnt be above michael jackson, but honestly he really has sold a lot of CDs. there are a lot of immature girls out there who buy them... not our fault!
LOL!!!! Doesn't even deserve to be on here!!! XP but really! He doesn't!
