Here are 40-21. Tell me who is too high/low.
40: Dave Matthews Band: Too many are almost in a worship-like trance when it comes to them to not include them on this list.
39: Patsy Cline: The greatest woman country singer. She has been the inspiration to many that have come after her.
38: Eric Clapton: He put out several albums that were at the top. Great to just sit and listen to a soothing voice. Change the world is a great one.
37: Third Day: Another great Christian group. They are in their peak now, so it might be too soon to judge them. Hopefully they will put out a few more albums like the first few and continue to be a great group.
36: Eagles: A good group. To put them higher would be I think to over-rate how good they were. Although, Hotel California is still a great song.
35: Barbara Streisand: Put out many albums that were very solid. She gets this high for her longevity and the sheer numbers of her fan-base.
34: Bruce Spingsteen: Great artist that was great to hear live.
33: Louis Armstrong: The father of the Jazz singers. Many still love to impersonate this great singer.
32: Phil Collins: A great artist. He has many hits by himself and with the group Genesis. “In the air tonight” is still one of my favorites right before a game on Friday night.
31: Harry Connick Jr: This one is for Jamey, although he has sold millions of albums, and still continues to put them out today.
30: Tim McGraw: He is still dominating the Country music scene. With over 7 singles off one album he established himself and he has not stopped putting out great music. His newest “My little girl” is a must listen to for all the dads out there.
29: Jimi Hendrix: He has influenced many with the guitar solos and unique music. Often imitated, but never duplicated.
28: Prince: “Purple Rain” is a great song. He has many others that have become great songs as well.
27: Chicago: A very good group. I have enjoyed their music for a long time. They have many songs that will stay around for a long time.
26: Elton John: Some would not include him on the list and others of you are telling me how dumb I am to have him this low. He has produced some great songs and is an icon in the music industry now.
25: Whitney Houston: Probably has the best voice of all-time. Her music gives anyone goosebumps.
24: The Temptations: “Sittin by the dock of the Bay” is a classic, as is most of their music. They have inspired many to sing in their style.
23: Lionel Richie: A great artist that had several albums in a row that were successful.
22: Bob Marley: A great artist in his own style. He has brought many who would love to copy his music into the industry.
21: The Rolling Stones: Alright, before you old fogies get onto me. This group has been old and not very good since the 1980’s so I am not counting longevity. Still they were good back in the day.

Otis Redding sang "Sitting by the dock of the bay".
My bad. Maybe they should move down a little??
Queen better be in the top 20. Unless I just missed them before. Anyway they BETTER be on the list somewhere. OR ELSE.
No worries you will see them in the top 20.
I think the Eagles Greatest Hits is the best selling album of all time. They probably need to be higher.
Stones have to be higher, too.
Stones are a group I can't stand, that is why I had them down lower, a personal vendetta. Not a huge fan of the Eagles I could only off hand remember 3 songs they had put out.
