The Best Music Artists of All Time

Whether they are singers, songwriters or instrumentalists, music artists have their own unique sound. Some artists even have an 'x-factor'.

In the digital age, social media is one of the biggest drivers for music artist success. Many musicians don't even produce their own tracks. Instead, they just have a screaming guy on stage. And the paychecks usually follow the inflated status.

It's hard to believe, but some of the best artists in the world didn't even write their own songs. Nevertheless, they left a legacy in the culture.

The Beatles were the first pop/rock stars to become artists. They are also considered to be the most influential band of all time. They sold millions of albums, spawned countless tribute bands, and changed the way we listen to music.

Some of the best music artists in the world today have their own distinct style. Some artists don't play an instrument, but they are great songwriters.

The Eagles are a Los Angeles-based rock group. They have had a lot of hits.

Another American band, Aerosmith, has a great reputation. They've been signed to Columbia Records and Geffen Records. Their hits include I Don't Want to Miss a Thing and Dream On.

Bob Dylan is a songwriter, poet, and musician. He is an influential figure in popular culture for more than five decades. He has performed for Pope Benedict XVI, and has had a significant impact on the music industry.
