I believe that the greatest recording artist of all time are the Beatles. According to the Recording Industry Association of America, the same group that actually owns the copyright to the Gold, Platinum, Multi-Platinum and Diamond designations for record sales, the number one Top Selling Artist of All Time is the Beatles, with 170 million units sold. The Beatles were very popular and sold so many records and albums because they appealed to so many people because they worked with different musical genres. Also, the Beatles are one of the most commercially successful and criticallly acclaimed bands in the history of popular music selling over one billion records internationally. The Beatles released more than 40 different singles, albums and EP's that reached number one, earning more #1 albums (15) than any other group in UK chart history. In addition to that, the Beatles also made 5 movies. They are A Hard Day's Night, Help!, Magical Mystery Tour, Yellow Submarine, and Let it Be. Even though the Beatles stopped performing as a group in 1970,and unfortunately two of them have died, their songs are still very popular today.

I beleive that the greatest recording artist of all time is either 3 Days Grace or Tokio Hotel (yes its spelled Tokio not Tokyo). Their music is wonderful and both bands have millions of fans. Tokio Hotel is newer to America so not many know about them, but their music isn't just a bunch of screaming and loud instruments, its actually about something. Tokio Hotel's Bill Kaulitz writes the bands songs himself and bases most of them on issues that many people experience.

The greatest recording artists of all time Is Journey. I absolutely love Journey, and there is not one song by them that I don't like. Throughout Journey's three decades of existence they have scored two gold, three platinum, and eight multiplatinum albums, including seven straight multiplatinum albums from 1978-1987! Journey has had 18 of the top 40 singles. Their signature song "Don't Stop Believing" is the top selling catalog track in itunes history! Journey is the twenty-eighth best selling band in the United States, but I believe that they are the best band that ever lived!

The greatest recording artist of all time is All Time Low. The reason i think so is because they have a nice flow in their music, while maintaining a catchy beat, and lyrics, they are also very capable of producing a number of musical genres that go anywhere from techno, to pop, to rock.

Unknown said...

The best recording artist is of course Brittany Spears.! Shes the pop icon of the world. Brittany has gone through alot of crap in 2008 but she turned it around in 2009 with another big album. I mean who doesnt love Brittany Spears.!

The greatest recording artist of all time would have to be the beatles. They have had over 190 million albums sold, in counting! The beatles were very talented in their performances, and should be considered the actually kings of rock. Their record sales are higher than that of elvis presley!! they've released more than 40 different singles, and every single one of them being better than the last. Beatles are on of the most commercially successful, and critically acclaimed bands in the history of popular music. i love the beatles, and so does my dad!

The greatest recording artist of all time is the king of pop, Michael Jackson. He has had countless songs on the top 10 and no one can say he doesn’t have a great voice. He had thriller, beat it, rock with you, p.y.t. and lots of others. In my mind he has the best career of all singers ever. Go MJ.

The best recording artist of all times is AC/DC.They are they best because they have been around for forty years and they have sold millions of albums.

I believe the greatest artist or band of all time and forever are the Beatles. As you can see when you watch the video, fans are lining up and down the road and criss-cross through the streets and everything some just hoping to get a glimpse of the Beatles. Security officers were hard-pressed to keep them safe in their hotel and it was hard to keep the screaming fans behind the line. The Beatles were a rock and pop band from Liverpool, England that formed in 1960. The Beatles are one of the most commercially successful and critically acclaimed bands in the history of popular music, selling over one billion records internationally. In the United Kingdom, The Beatles released more than 40 different singles, albums, and EPs (extended plays) that reached number one, earning more number one albums (15) than any other group in UK chart history. This commercial success was repeated in many other countries; their record company, it was estimated that by 1985 they had sold over one billion records worldwide. Even though they aren't a band any longer, I think they will still be incredibly popular for a very long time.

The greatest recording artist of all time is Journey. I don’t really like rock but I love Journey. Journey has had 18 songs in the top forty and their album Escape was number one. One of Journeys most successful song is Don’t Stop Believing. Don’t Stop Believing is iTunes number one catalog song. It has been purchased over 2 million times. Journey has influenced many artists including; Chris Daughtry, The Outfield, Nickelback, Creed, Matchbox Twenty, Tall Stories, Garth Brooks, Bon Jovi, Josh Groban, and Shania Twain. As you can see, Journey is clearly the greatest recording artist of all time.

I beleive that the greatest recording artist(s) of all are the Beatles. The Beatles are one of the most commercially successful and critically acclaimed bands in the history of popular music, selling over one billion records internationally. The Beatles have sold more albums in the United States than any other band. In 2004, Rolling Stone magazine ranked The Beatles number one on its list of 100 Greatest Artists of All Time. In 2008, Billboard magazine released a list of top-selling Hot 100 artists to celebrate the chart's fiftieth anniversary; The Beatles topped it. That's amazing! The Beatles also made five movies. The titles are, Hard Days Night, Help!, Let it Be, Yellow Submarine, and Magical Mystery tour.

I think that the greatest recording artist of all time is David Bowie. People who liked his music from the beginning never stopped listening to the music because he always changes his music style. He also has Gold, and Platinum records. He has been on the top of the charts with almost all of his albums. He was also the lead of a band before the seventies called Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars. The band also had platinum records and alot of top chart history. Now, as a solo artist, he is still popular today. And he can still sing really well even though he is 65 years old.

I trully have trouble deciding the greatest recording artist ever. Between the Beatles, Queen, and AC/DC; I have trouble deciding. As far as number of albums sold, the Beatles would take number one. That and almost every band is compared and contrasted to the Beatles. They also had the most number one hits.

As far as lyrics go, Queen is argueably the best. There songs are either easy to remember or there lyrics are just plain good. For example, there are those songs that you hear at every football game or other magor sports event. These include, We Will Rock You, We Are the Champions, Another One Bites the Dust, and Under Pressure. Then there are those songs that are more difficult to remember such as Bohemian Rhapsody. If you have never heard this song, you should listen to it. This was the first song Queen had ever wrote and it made number one on the pop charts. It is a trully unique song. It changes tempos at least five times through out the song. First it sounds like a constant note. Then soft rock. Then opra. Next hard rock. Then back to soft rock. To somone who has never heard the song, they might think they were listening to five different songs instead of one. What Queen was trying to do in the song Bohemian Rhapsody was to make fun of opra. In fact the album was called "Night at the Opra". But Queen was definatly a great band.

Finally there is AC/DC. If you ever go to a football game and don't hear at least one song by AC/DC, you let me know. Theyt are probably the most popular band from the seventies, eighties, and ninties. In fact they have recently come out with a new album. One of there best songs would have to be TNT. And they have many others. But I still can't decide on which band is my favorite.

I believe that the greatest recording artist of all time is Michael Jackson. I don't care what anyone says he's epic. He was the biggest pop star during the 80's. He came up with many awesome songs we still hear today and awesome dances. Thriller is still the best selling album of all time and he was the first black artist to be on mtv. he's accomplished alot and he's been through alot but he'll always be the best in what he did.he's had 2 albums go double platinum and many songs on top ten charts and two number one singles.

The greatest recording artist of all time would be the Beatles. Most of there music is the style pop or rock n roll. One of there songs called, “Strawberry Fields” was named for a real place. The Ed Sullivan Show was the first TV program in America to host the Beatles. ABC and CBS shot concert footage of the band in November 1963 as Beatlemania swept England. The song “Eleanor Rigby” has been recorded over 200 times. Paul McCartney wrote “Hey Jude” for Julian Lennon. The Beatles are one of the most commercially successful and critically acclaimed bands in the history of popular music selling over one billion records internationally.

In my opinion, the best band of all times is 3 Doors Down.THey formed in 1994.The band signed to Universal Records after the success of their song "Kryptonite". They soldover 15 million albums of the better life. THey are a great band and have many admirable qualities. Doors Down was formed by then-drummer Brad Arnold, guitarist Matt Roberts and bassist Todd Harrell. The three were friends who had grown up together in Escatawpa, and who all shared a common interest in rock music.3 Dors Down is a great band and everyone should try to listen to their music.

I believe that the greatest recording artist were The Beatles. The Beatles had 21 #1 hit singles in the US alone. Each one of their albums is an experience to listen to. From Please, Please Me to Let It Be the music is wonderful and completely original. Even the cover songs they did sounded fresh and like something that only they could do. From 1963 all the way to 1970 the Beatles were the band you wanted to be or somehow be a part off. They were a craze across both sides of the Atlantic that have never and probably will never be matched. Aside from their music career together they had incredible careers outside the Beatles. Paul with Wings and his own solo recordings, John with The Plastic Ono Band, George with a solo career as well as starting Handmade Films (Time Bandits, Life of Brian, and Mona Lisa, for exp,) and even Ringo has a successful solo career and a Bonds girl for a wife.

Metallica is the best band and / or artists ever! That includes the past, present, and the future. With the new release of their new album, Death Magnetic, their greatness explodes throughout the universe. This groups finger shredding guitar solos, mind blowing bass riffs, insane drum pieces, and stupefying vocals makes them the obvious choice for the best recording artist EVER!!!!!!

THE GREATEST RECORDING ARTIST OF ALL TIME WAS DEFINITELY MICHAEL JACKSON.!!!!!! No one should argue with me because everyone should know it is the truth. Michael Jackson is the best recording artist of all time because he has the soolest and most creative songs. After all he has been through including drugs and other trama, he still came out on top. Even when Michael Jackson was little he was the star of the recording group, Jackson 5. Jackson 5 was a very popular group back in the day and they still are now. Michael Jackson's songs were so contagious to people that they are still alive and popular today and will continue to be a legend in history. HE IS THE BEST!!! NO ONE CAN TELL ME DIFFERENT.

The greatest recording artist of all time is Metallica. The reason they are the best is because Metallica has awesome songs. Also Metallica has cool music videos. Metallica is the best recording artists of all times because of the news and the articles on the enter net. Also the articles in the newspaper said so that they were the best. If you watch their videos and their music videos you will think that they are the best recording artist.

I think Elvis Presley is the greatest recording artist of all time. On elvis.com it says, "it is estimated that Elvis Presley has sold over one billion record units worldwide, more than anyone in record industry history." Elves has 150 albums, singles and extended-plays. He is considered the "King Of Rock 'N' Roll". Elvis made 31 movies as an actor. A large number of his songs has made it to number one on the Billboards.

I believe that logically the greatest recording artist of all time is The Beatles. For example, their Best of Album has been named the greatest album of all time. Plus, every person that I know is fond of The Beatles. My dad is a huge fan of The Beatles and they are his favorite band. For Christmas my father got me a big poster of The Beatles to hang up in my room, since I like them also. Although I believe The Beatles are the best recording artists of all time, they are not my favorite band. My favorite band however, is Simple Plan. They are a Canadian Alternative-Punk band from Quebec. The band’s first album came out in 2002. Before the formation of Simple Plan lead singer Pierre Bouvier and Chuck Comeau, were in a band with others in highschool called Reset. Bouvier and Comeau left the band to go to college and met up with friends Jeff Stinco and Sebastion Lefebvre (yes that’s how you spell it) to form Simple Plan in 2002. Since then the band has released two other albums.

I didn't know about the greatest recording artist in US. But, if in China, I think is the S.H.E. they are so good of singing. A lot of fans loves them. The group is organized into the three girls. I know them about seven years ago, when i was in first grade i think. This is seven years after they still have a lot of fans, then more and more. Theyjust 25years old right now, so i believe they are the greatest recording artist in China.

The greatest recording artist of all time I think would have to be Michael Jackson. I think Michael Jackson is because ever since her was little was little he was the lead singer of The Jackson 5. The 80's was the best time for Michael Jackson. Also he has been through so much in his life time and he still creates such great and orginial songs. Five of his solo studio albums have become some of the world's best-selling records: Off the Wall (1979), Thriller (1982), Bad (1987), Dangerous (1991) and HIStory (1995).

I think the greatest recording artist of all time is Micheal Jackson because he has mad good songs since he was a kid. Also because he made the song thriller and that was one of the best songs ever and was the best song micheal ever made. Also because he was the i think the first black man on MTV or somthing like that.Also because he was the number 1 artist in both USA and Europe at the same time.

The greatest recording artist of all time is the beatles. They were the most popular band ever. They are also the best selling band ever. They are ahead of Garth Brooks, Elvis Presley, Led Zeppelin, and the Eagles. All of those bands were also very popular in the 60s and 70s but the Beatles even sold more than them.

i say the greatest recording artist of all time would be slipknot, disturbed.
why: Slipknot songs are really fast, and Disturbed their songs are kind of fast to practice when i start a band to warm up before my band starts to play slipknot songs expically heretic song from slipknot.
They sell alot of albums if people likes death heavy metal, they wear masks so no one can see their faces, and one of their songs Before I Forget is on GUITAR HERO 3. For Disturbed is the same way as slipknot but they are not death heavy metal but their like a rock, and a heavy metal they sell alot of albums and one of their songs is on GUITAR HERO 3.

I honestly think the greatest recording aritist of all time would be the Beatles.Why, They have sold over 100 million albums being the most albums sold be an artist.Doing this is just unbelievable. their albums was a #1 hit when it came out. They were also #1 with so mant fans. Another reason why I like them is because their songs are about 1960.

Michael Jackson is the greatest recording artist of all time, because hes a great singer and like the best dancer in the WORLD! yes, maybe hes done some crazy things and got in lots and lots of trouble but its because he had a hard life as a kid. i dont think people should judge him at all ! hes just like everyone else. just think, if it wasnt for him, then we wouldnt have songs like Beat it, or thriller!

The greatest recording artist of all time is T-Pain over the last three years he has been in more songs than most people have been in ten years. Every song he has made or been in with other singers or rappers has hit number one not once a song T-Pain has been in wasn't at the top of the charts.

Unknown said...

Other than the Beatles, Elvis Presley is the greatest recording artist of all time. He has sold over one million records, and his songs are still popular. He was mainly pop and rock. His other genres were gospel, blues, and ballads. He made his music from 1953-1977. Elvis Presley is probably one of the most remembered artists of the 50s, 60s, and 70s. Elvis is also known as "The King of Rock 'n' Roll", or simply "The King". He has been inducted into four music halls of fame to date.

Presley was also an actor. He made most of his movies in the 1960s; none of which were greatly reviewed, but later turned out to be financially successful musicals. At the age of 42, Elvis Presley died because of health problems, drug dependency, and other factors. Although "The King" is deceased, he still lives in his music and through his many impersonators.

One of the greatest bands out there is Avenged Seven Fold. They have the most genius music and they rock hard! In this band, there is no weak link. They have perhaps the best guitar player ever and the singer has the coolest voice I have ever heard. In 2006, they won the best newcomers award. They also reached 30 on the billboard's top 200. One of their hit singles, Bat Country, went up into the top ten. My favorite song written by them is a song called Afterlife. And also to prove my argument...because I said so! ;) I wrote ths sentence because I only had 99 words.

I believe that the greatest recording artist was Elvis Presly. I think Presley was a greatest because when he first started his carrer he went big. People all over the world absolutely loved his work. Although he is dead now, he is still very popular to people. I still hear his music. I have talked to people that remember going to his concerts and listening to his music all the time. I have even seen movies that have been based on him. Elvis was a great hit back then in his music, and he still is today.

The Greatest recording artist of all time is Hank Williams Junior. Why because for one the whole world knows him. Two because, the NFL had him record the song for the Monday night football song.

The greatest recording artist of all time was The Beatles. The Beatles made some of the best songs ever and are in the World Record Book.

They also have many impersonators and fan girls all over the world.

The Beatles were an amazing group in their time, I would have to say my favorite was John Lennon. Even tho he was killed I remember him the most and he was my favorite. Their music meant something, it wasn't like every other song today that talks about drugs , sex, or money. It had meaning and touched many people.

I think the greatest recording artist(s) of all time are te Spice Girls! My friends and I always sing their songs and make videos and stuff because their songs just have that effect that make you wanna act crazy and have fun. They may not have lasted very long but their music was really good. I syill listen to some of their music now and then when I feel like being crazy. They have sold alot of albums as well. And there single, Wanna be, was great. All in all, I pretty much just think they are the greatest because I love that song. On the other hand, they are really good artists as well.

I think that the greatest recording artist of all time was the Beatles. The Beatles were a rock and pop band from Liverpool, England that formed in 1960. They have so many fans that the security officers had trouble keeping them safe. The Beatles are one of the most successful and critically acclaimed bands in the history of popular music; selling over one billion records internationally. In the United Kingdom. Their signature song "Don't Stop Believing" is the top selling catalog track in iTunes history! The Beatles also made five movies. The titles are, Hard Days Night, Help!, Let it Be, Yellow Submarine, and Magical Mystery tour. The Beatles released more than 40 different singles, albums, earning more number one albums than any other group in UK chart history.

The greatest recording artist of all time is probably the Beatles. They aren't my favorites, but they have to be one of the greatest recording artists. They were very successful in their career, and it shows. Everybody has heard of the Beatles, and likes them. They have so many albums and they've all sold well. The second would probably be either Michael Jackson, or another early band/singer.

The greatest recording artist of all time would have to be Brittany Spears... I think that she is the greatest because she was so popular and truly loved by almost everyone! My most provided proof would be that you could not find anyone that dose not know Britt or has never heard one of her songs.

Frankie Lymon and the tennagerrs because Their debut, the startling "Why Do Fools Fall In Love?", was issued on 1 January 1956 and soon climbed into the US Top 10, alongside the early recordings of Elvis Presley and Carl Perkins. The song went on to reach number 1 in the UK and sold two million copies. Lymon soon left school and the group toured extensively. For their second single, "I Want You To Be My Girl", the 13-year-old boy wonder was given superior billing to the group.

I truly believe that the Beatles are the greatest recording artists of all time. I believe this because the Beatles actually own the copyright to the Gold,Platinum,Multi-Platinum awards.They were extremely popular and very well known.Their popularity lead to an amazing 166 million albums sold in the U.S.They were awarded best new artist of 1964,best performance by a vocal group for A Hard Day's Night in 1964,Best contemporary album and album of the year for Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band in 1967. They were also awarded best music video in it's long form for The Beatles Anthology in 1996,best music video in it's short form for Free As A Bird in 1996, and Best Pop Performance by a Duo or group With Vocal for Free As A Bird in 1996.With these kinds of awards, it is very hard to not agree with me.

If I would have to pick one I would pick Weird Al Yankovic. Weird Al makes the most funniest songs I have ever heard. Even though he I just making a parody of the songs that he does. Weird Al has been rewriting songs since my mom was younger. Alot of people know who he is and can named about five songs when they just hear his name. When anybody talks about him in school they always say ohh I have him on my i-pod. That is why I think he is awesome!!!
