Is the "Joe Meek & the Tornados" entry a stand-in for Meek's entire production discography or only for The Tornados? Seems weird to list someone who in the end was only a producer.

[Tim]

Wasn't he credited artist at least on I Hear a New World album? But maybe that was a retroactive credit. Anyway I guess if we include him then we have to include the likes of Phil Spector and King Tubby which is prolly a stretch. Do we think Tornados on their own are worth considering given "Telstar"'s influence and popularity?

[ManPerson]

I think we can include them.

I'd have Migos higher, I'd say they're comparable to Bauhaus in acclaim and take popularity by more than Bauhaus take influence. Take influence over Billy Idol and probably acclaim too. I'd give them acclaim and probably influence over Kansas and UB40 and similar popularity.

[ManPerson]

I'd also have MC Hammer higher since his first album had unprecedented success for a rap album so I'd give him at least some credit for influence. I'd have him right behind Daddy Yankee and Sabrina Carpenter.

How is Billie Eilish over Lorde? And 50 spots, too.

Quite a more popular at this point, less influential, true, and similar acclaim, since all three of Billie's albums have been very highly acclaimed. I guess they shouldn't be too far from each other. I'd say Billie takes acclaim and popularity over ELO, George Harrison, Jethro Tull, Salt-n-Pepa, War and Eurythmics at this point, but I wouldn't necessarily be against Lorde being elevated over those artists as well.
