Freddie - 70's 7. Taylor - 2010s Honorable mentions: Bowie, Prince Why Taylor though? I understand she has found a lot of success, but she gets lost in the pool of music. I don't think she's had much cultural impact. None of her music has defined a decade or sound. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronk 14,762 Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 Madonna should be in the top 2, imo. Cher should be on the list. I live outside the space time continuum. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think instead of The Beatles, you should add Cher and Madonna should definitely be number two. I think Gaga deserves her spot on the list because, frankly, the last decade of music wouldn't be what it is without her. I'm still cautious to say she's the greatest of all time because it's only been 12 years. Yet I think she's accomplished so much in a short time. Mte. I live outside the space time continuum.

She used to be the most famous popstar of all, but that faded after like 2010. While she has hits, she doesn't have the talent or versatility in my opinion to be considered one of the greatest pop stars of all time. Madonna is different in the way that she stood for something bigger than music, so its okay that she has a mediocre voice. Her image, her politics, her views, her stance on subjects were so much larger than her music. Thats why she's one of the greatest ever, because Madonna is so much more than music. I don't like her as a person, but I respect why she is considered the greatest. But Gaga will top Madonna every day of the week because she is the full package AND so much larger than music at the same time. She will go down in history as the greatest female popstar/musician ever End Racism Now Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love her as a performer, she's definitely worthy of praise in that category, but as a singer? It would take years to count the number of times she's lip-synced Don't Call Me Gaga Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cookie Tookie 10,546 Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 Madonna, Michael Jackson, and Prince are the only realistic ones. They all revolutionized pop music. Anyone else is exaggeration. I could totally see Gaga being added to this list in the next 15 years though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
