Personally I think Nirvana sucks ass. ... I never even listened to there songs.

I'll defend absolutely your right to hate Nirvana and absolutely respect that it's not your cup of tea, I fully understand that, but to say you hate the band without ever hearing their music is ridiculous. Perhaps you mean you hate their influence, or the grunge culture in general?

Decade Number 1 Artist Number 2 Artist Number 3 Artist Number 4 Artist Number 5 Artist

1900s Billy Murray Harry MacDonough Haydn Quartet Byron G Harlan Arthur Collins

1910s Peerless Quartet American Quartet Prince's Orchestra Arthur Collins & Byron G Harlan John McCormack 1920s Paul Whiteman Al Jolson Ben Selvin Bessie Smith Marion Harris

1970s Elton John The Rolling Stones Pink Floyd Abba Led Zeppelin

1980s Prince Madonna U2 Michael Jackson Bruce Springsteen

1990s Mariah Carey Madonna Celine Dion REM U2

2000s Eminem Madonna Britney Spears Coldplay U2

 

Above are the Top 5 selling artists of each decade since the 1900 decade...for what its worth.

(That Bill Murray sure gets around, no?)

 

By the way...I understand these sales deal with new releases. e.g. The Beatles sold in the 2000s more than anyone but Eminem....but they were all "older released songs" not really new stuff.

Interesting to note here: Only Madonna and U2 had careers where their "new music" ratings put them in the Top 5 in 3 different decades. Not Elvis/Sinatra/Stones/Bing or anyone else did that.
