Alright, here's some shit to argue about.
Rank the following lists of artists. Don't rank them all together, rank each list separately. Then fight. These are intentionally basic, fairly well-known bands/artists, at least for /mu/.
List 1:
>The Beatles
>The Rolling Stones
>Queen
>David Bowie
>The Velvet Underground
>Bob Dylan
List 2:
>Neutral Milk Hotel
>Radiohead
>My Bloody Valentine
>Weezer
>Pavement
>Sonic Youth
List 3:
>Kanye West
>A Tribe Called Quest
>De La Soul
>Wu Tang Clan
>Death Grips
>Kendrick Lamar
List 4:
>Talking Heads
>Patti Smith
>Gary Numan
>New Order
>Wire
>Television
If there's an artist you haven't listened to, simply exclude them.

Haven't listened to others enough to rank.
Give me a more interesting selection to choose from
1

>Queen
>Bob Dylan
>The Rolling Stones
3
Kendrick Lamar
A Tribe Called Quest
Death Grips
4
Talking Heads
Television
Wire
Gary Numan

Patti Smith
Only listened to NMH and one Radiohead album from list 2 so it would be pointless to try and rank them.

All music is uninteresting bullshit. If you disagree you're a fucking peasant.

>>64768272
was just responding to
>>64768147
and trying to think of some better known composers, like stravinsky
not memeing at all and trying to make it look like I was writing in candidates for the lists; I was making totally new lists for people to rank
>>64768092

Too specific of an audience, merge and add more of a survey selection like OP, otherwise it's not even remotely interesting.
How about:
List 1:
>Coltrane
>Davis
>Mingus
>Coleman
>Sun Ra
>Henderson
List 2:
>Stravinsky
>Cage
>Reich
>Schubert
>Chopin
>Schoenberg
List 3:
>Aunt Sally
>Can
>Swell Maps
>Frank Zappa
>James Chance & the Contortions
>Catherine Ribeiro
>>64768514
I can get behind these
List 1:
>Mingus
>Coltrane
>Davis
>Coleman
>Sun Ra
very hard to compare these guys though; the first four are basically interchangeable depending on how I want to rate them
List 2:
>Schoenberg
>Schubert
>Chopin
>Stravinsky
>Cage
>Reich
>>64768245
to answer my own:
List A:
>Schubert
>Mahler
>Wagner
>Chopin
>R. Schumann
>R. Strauss
List B:
>Schoenberg
>Webern
>Berg
>Ives
>Bartok
>Stravinsky
List C:
>Feldman
>Cage
>Reich
>Boulez (own compositions)
>Stockhausen
>Part
>>64768041
