I'd have Billie Eilish a lot higher than that, clearly more acclaimed and popular than Cardi B atp, for example.

I'd have her next to Ariana Grande, even.

[ManPerson]

Do we want to combine Talking Heads with David Byrne?

[Tim]

I can see it but also not a must have movie either.

[ManPerson]

I think he's definitely seen by most as the main creative force behind the band.

[Tim]

Sure but the same is true for Pete Townshend & the Who, Lou Reed & the Velvet Underground, etc.

[Dubrow555]

If you guys separated Eric Clapton from Cream/Yardbirds, etc. then I say keep artists separate as possible

[Tim]

Tbf Yardbirds also had Jeff Beck & Jimmy Page eras, why should Yardbirds be apart of Eric Clapton's listing and not Beck's or Led Zeppelin's? Cream I don't think were dominated by Clapton enough to consider it apart of his solo career. Speaking of Clapton, should Derek & the Dominos be included under his listing as I think they were dominated by Clapton enough.

[ManPerson]

Tbf Yardbirds also had Jeff Beck & Jimmy Page eras, why should Yardbirds be apart of Eric Clapton's listing and not Beck's or Led Zeppelin's? Cream I don't think were dominated by Clapton enough to consider it apart of his solo career. Speaking of Clapton, should Derek & the Dominos be included under his listing as I think they were dominated by Clapton enough.

I guess I always assumed Derek & the Dominoes were included in the first place.

Sure but the same is true for Pete Townshend & the Who, Lou Reed & the Velvet Underground, etc.

Ok, fair.

This. It's a similar case to the JHE and Band of Gypsys for Hendrix' entry.

I think Bon Iver are more acclaimed than Gnarls Barkley with similar acclaim and influence so I'd move them and Nelly Furtado down below Bon Iver.

Otherwise, I like it.
