Top 100 Greatest Artists Of All Time

In 2010, VH1 put together this 100 Greatest Artists Of All Time countdown. You should compare it to VH1′s 100 Greatest Artists Of Rock & Roll from 1998 to see some of the overlaps/differences. For starters: The Top 5 “Rock” vs “Of All Time” is the same group, except for Jimi Hendrix who’s been pushed to No. 6. It’ll also give you an idea of how VH1 defines rock & roll.
