Bands/Musicians

Though they all might try their hardest, some bands and musicians&nbsp;just don't have what it takes to make great music. That, or they are in fact great musicians who like terrible music and think everyone else likes it too. Whether it's one or the other, these groups to follow are considered by many to be the worst musicians of their time, and may go on as the <a href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/the-worst-bands-of-all-time" target="_blank">worst bands ever</a>. While we don't all mean to be so cruel, these bands have to find out someway or another. And hey, maybe they'll start making some good music—it's doubtful, though.Determining the worst music artists&nbsp;can be quite subjective, but these singers, bands, and rappers to follow earned it. While many of who's considered the worst artists out fall under the pop and rap genres,&nbsp;it's not all pop singers and hip-hop artists. Plenty of bands know how to make bad music as well. Just ask the <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/worst-rock-bands/ranker-music" target="_blank">worst rock bands of all time</a>.From annoying little teenagers to washed-up men&nbsp;who just need to quit making music, this list of the worst current musicians has them all.

Popular Opinion

One of the biggest questions in the music world is what is the best genre of music? For many, this can be the source of heated arguments as everyone has their own opinion and tastes of what is good and what isn't. Today's music genres are more broken down and deeper than ever, which can cause multiple arguments for or against a different subgenre within a particular genre. For example, fans of alternative rock and indie rock could argue the merits of one particular brand of rock versus the other. These are both under the rock umbrella, but alas, they're separate genres.The same thing can be said for hip hop and even heavy metal, where both can be broken down further. No matter what your outlook, taste, or musical preferences are, you can make a claim here on this list what the best genre is. These are the most popular and top genres of music. There are plenty of choices on this Ultimate List of the best genres of music, but only one can be considered the best. If you want to voice your support to why your favorite genre should be known as the best, then vote for your top choice. If you see a genre or even a subgenre missing from the list feel free to add it. That could be anything, as long as it's not on the list.

One of the most debated topics in music is: who are the greatest singers of the past 30 years?&nbsp;Whether you&#39;re a huge Whitney Houston fan, or you&#39;ve never missed one of Mariah Carey&#39;s live Christmas concerts, the best <a href="http://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/best-female-singer-of-the-year?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">modern singers</a> of the last 30 years are some of the greatest talents that the world has ever seen. From Michael Jackson&#39;s perfect performances, to Freddie Mercury&#39;s incredible vocal range, music fans have gathered a list of the <a href="http://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/20-greatest-singers?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">best singers</a> of the last 30 years for you to rank.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

Who&#39;s one of the best singers of the past 30 years? For many, Madonna tops the list. When Madge arrived on the scene in the early &#39;80s, she completely rocked the world of pop music with her third single, &quot;Holiday,&quot; and blew everyone away. She followed that song up with hit classics&nbsp;&quot;Lucky Star,&quot; &quot;Like a Virgin,&quot; and &quot;Material Girl;&quot; and the rest was history.

Although Kurt Cobain&#39;s&nbsp;time on earth was short, he&nbsp;revolutionized the grunge music scene with his gravely vocals and unruly guitar sounds. Cobain&#39;s unique combination of singing and screaming earned him a spot among the best on this list. &nbsp;

Other <a href="http://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/favorite-male-singers-of-all-time?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">favorite singers</a> featured below include Celine Dion, Bruno Mars, Lady Gaga, Beyonce, Prince, Luciano Pavarotti, Aretha Franklin, Sting, and countless others.

Who is the best songwriter alive today? The musician responsible for the lyrics and music that&#39;s the most memorable, significant and lasting in all of rock history, who is still with us today. We&#39;re talking, over the course of an entire career, the person who has written the most great songs--the best songwriters of the 21st century. A few things to keep in mind: (1) Songwriting teams are acceptable if they truly worked together (for example, Elton John writing music to Bernie Taupin&#39;s lyrics). When possible, as in the case of John Lennon and Paul McCartney, separate them and focus on individual songwriting. (2) LIVING songwriters. Living. (3) I think the ratio of &quot;great songs&quot; to &quot;not good songs&quot; is important to consider. If someone has 2 classic albums of great songs and then 5 albums worth of garbage, that impacts the overall view of the career, no matter how good the original work was. Something to keep in mind.
