Surprised not to see Rattle, Mutter, Lang, Benedetti...?
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Which one of these is the greatest musician of the last 25 years again??
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Isn't that the debate? I'd probably go Rattle.

Candidates are added on a discretionary basis

will look into it...

By the way, I'm excluding operatic and classical performers, otherwise these would have had a shot:

Anna Nebretko

Donij Van Doorn

or should I include them?

I think we have to exclude classical and opera otherwise there could be some cellist or whatever that noone's ever heard of.

I was born in the late 70s and got into most of the music I like in the early 90s as i reached my teens. Even then I had to kind of look backwards to the 70s and 80s to find interesting, ground breaking, super talented, charismatic people who excelled on actual musical instruments. There were a few in the 90s but things have badly declined with songs created by button pushing on computers.

There are still a very select few half decent singer songwriters around, writing quite bland but listenable songs. In the main tho, rock, rap and even pop music died in the 90s it seems. Certainly going by most of the "artists" mentioned here, dear oh dear.

Just adding to the rap suggestions...

If you have Drake here then arguably you should have Kendrick on here too given recent month or so - a commercial success as a conscious rapper is far more impressive than the corporate titan Drake.

Also I would personally say Future has had a bigger influence than Drake, and Lil Wayne has probably had a bigger influence than both.

The 24 years between 66 and 90 gave us
Bob Dylan
Jimi Hendrix
Janis Joplin
David Bowie
Tina Turner
Eric Clapton
John Lennon
Van Morrison
Joan Armatrading to mention a few...

Have to feel for those born this century. Music is in the bin, a truly awful last 20 years or so.

Future definitely not a bigger influence than Drake. Lil Wayne..debatable. Maybe bigger influence in rap but definitely not as a global artist.

Mad that Anderson Paak, Drake, Bieber, Bruno facking Mars all made the list but Pharrell didn't

OK, I'll put him in...

I took Beiber out.

Are you for real?! Beiber is one of the most influential musicians of the 21st century!

Believe 2012 is a piece of art

can't win.
I know he's very influential, and also a MASSIVE icon.

But is he really a great musician?

he's back!!! yay!
