Iām considering career span to date in what I count as modern (not saying others should though)
in at 18. ā¦
Kendrick has been putting music out for a decade now though. Whatās the cutoff?
Good score. Probably the least well known of the bands in the top 20/30 whatever (though not on DiS necessarily)

Kendrick would have won if albums from outside the 20th century counted double.

For me about 20 years. Again, not saying itās a rule others should follow

Are Frank & Kendrick too new to really evaluate them? (Both 5ās and I will die on a hill that Endless is Frankās best album so far)
Far from James Murphyās usual style, but excited to hear him cover this.
Reckon thatās probably as good a time as any to post my list:
20pts - Kendrick Lamar
19pts - Outkast
18pts - Kanye West
17pts - Wu-Tang Clan
16pts - LCD Soundsystem
15pts - Beyonce
14pts - Bright Eyes
13pts - Rihanna
12pts - Stevie Wonder
11pts - Nirvana
10pts - Blink 182
9pts - Green Day
8pts - Jay-Z
7pts - Destinyās Child
6pts - Bloc Party
5pts - Arcade Fire
4pts - Sugababes
3pts - Otis Redding
2pts - The Cure
1pt - The Supremes
Probably should have just done a list of less than 20 in all honesty to reflect my actual listening habits. The overwhelming majority of the HGATR artists are ones I donāt listen to and/or have no interest in listening to.

Yeah perhaps. Itās clear to see how someone like Frank has had a massive influence on a lot of pop music already, though, so maybe not
in summary: maybe
I agree - I think once enough time has passed to see the amount influence an artist has had you can start to assess them. I donāt think that there is an artist with as much influence on the sound of modern pop music as Frank Ocean.
My only hesitation in ranking in him the very top bracket is that he releases frustratingly little music.

Surprised The Beatles havenāt declared yet. Iād have thought they would be prime candidates for the high cannon:low enthusiasm factor.
Ruff top 20. No Kendrick, sorry.

Yeah, weāve barely scratched the surface of the canon of DiS all-time cult heroes. I canāt wait to see the threads on Sufjan for example, an artist Iāve tried to get into but I donāt feel comfortable tucking into the discography till I have some 2020 context (which these threads do fantastically well at.)
