Best Music Artists and Bands of the 21th Century

This is the best band man. Amazing voice chester and great rap by mike. They are many rocking songs like numb, in the end, new divide, what I've done, faint etc. This band deserves the first place. Those who dint vote this band are not humans at all, they don't have taste.
These guys have brought new genre to world that is Linkin Park. This is the only band which can give you any taste of music. If anyone is fan of music then he should know Linkin Park "RESPECT Linkin Park" if you are music addicted
This is not the expected result!
It is agreed that 30 seconds to mars is a great band...
But Linkin Park is the best rock band ever, not only in 21st century, but also since rock music was originated!
Linkin Park is NO. 1!
I've listened to Linkin Park and a lot of their music sounds very original. Plus they stand out more than other bands. Although I like other bands, this band has to be the top on my list!

MARS owns the 21st century, having released their second album 'A Beautiful Lie' containing hits such as 'The Kill' and their third album 'This Is War' with hits such as 'Kings And Queens' and 'Closer To The Edge'. They've more than proven why they are the best.
THeir second album 'a beautiful lie' consists of rock hits.. Song like the story, the kill, the fantasy, attack, a beautiful lie, was it a dream, r-evolve. And other songs as well like a brand new name, and hurricane.
I'm not suprised their voted the best rock band

This guy is the best selling artist of the 21st century, so therefore he should be #1. For 5 years, he had problems with drugs and his best friend being killed, he had 3 classics in a row, 2 of them becoming diamond albums and has even won an oscar for best original song. And there are people like Bon Jovi and Michael Jackson who haven't done anything in the 21st century are above this talented guy.
Almost every single rap artist looks up to him. He dominates the game in every aspect: Lyricism, beat, and tone. Because of this, he is the greatest selling rapper of all time, which is made even more impressive by the fact that he is in a genre composed of mostly African Americans, who often don't buy his songs purely because he is white.
First three were amazing yes, encore wasnt that great but still alright. Relapse I think was his worst album, I mean there was a few god songs like, beautiful, underground, crack a bottle and 3 am, but the rest of the album was just funny voices whcih made it bad. But I think recovery was up their with his earlier albums, he really brought it back with that album and I can't wait for his next album due this autumn
Eminem is amazing. His story is incredible, and every song he makes is good, with amazing rhymes, and he can alternate speeds. He got popular in around 2000 and ever since, he has been the #1 rapper in my opinion, and I think he is the number one rapper of all time, and he is just an incredible artist. Other artists should look up to him.

Always the best

What is this? Green Day is an awesome band and one of the best artist in the 21st century. No one compares to them, they just rock. Their songs are so meaningful and full with emotion. They just rocked the 90's and the 00's. Their lyrics, song, music are so good. Albums like American Idiot, Dookie,21st century Breakdown are the one of the best rock album in the present era!
Green Day are the best band ever end of. By the way, where are queens of the stone age? The strokes? Biffy Clyro? Weezer? On this list? Also, a7x should be higher up. Syn is an amazing guitarist. YES Green Day!
Who Can compare green day with other bands they are far better than any other bands of 2000's or even the 90's as well. Both their original as well as live albums are BOOMBASTIC!
They Rock! This list should not have Heart and Daughtry on the list as they are both awful!

Michael Jackson is recognized as the most successful entertainer of all time by Guinness World Records. His contributions to music, dance, and fashion, along with his publicized personal life, made him a global figure in popular culture for over four decades. I love you Michael!
There is no current artist that even comes close to his genius and progress of modern music. #1
How is he not in the top three?

She is not single day famous or best She is best in 80's, best in 90's, best in 2000's and continues... Chithra is the best in century in the real meaning...
She started in her career with best performance, still its continue...

How many band today can compete with this guys? How many of you can look cool when wearing matthew bellamy bling2 jackets without being called suck? Haha
I'm sorry why is Muse 6th on the list?!?! They are the best band over all on this list. And they deserve more respect.
The first band to ever sell out the new wembley stadium? In my opinion the best band since the beatles!
Ever heard a song turn into a living, breathing thing all on its own? That's muse right there!

Coldplay simply is one of the best bands of all time...they easily have 15 songs I adore. No other artist has that for me
Currently the best and the most popular band on the face of planet earth.
Not only the best band on this planet b4t the best artist!
Coldplay own the century


If you want raw talent stick with bands like Arctic Monkeys, Muse and Kasabian.
"Brian... top marks for not trying! "
They deserve top 3 for the accents alone! haha
This is the band that seem to have won more Brit Awards than anyone the the 21st century so far at 5

Metallica has been the best from the start of its career. I never knew a band names 30 Seconds to Mars before Toptens. Slipknot should also be in the list.
What's amazing is how much this band has not changed, look at guns n roses, as well as many other bands and you'll see, if they are still releasing albums, then they have changed a lot. Metallica has not changed all too much.

Kanye is the GOAT in any century! Go back and listen to his massive discography. You can't compare him to people who make 1 or 2 decent albums. Redo the entire list.
Listen to his catalogue. It shows the growth of the modern day 21st century young adult on his quest to take over the world. What an artist.
Why is he only at number 47? He should be in the top 5 at least and deserves to be number 1!
Greatest and most influential!

The music contains so much detail and some of the best lyrics ever to be written, best band of the 21st century, without a doubt! Personally I think its sad that so few people understand this music and gives it the time it deserves.


She has been doing it for 15 years now and is still one THE TOP performers and one of the best vocalists on this decade. We have all scene new girls on the scene come and go! Bey is always here showing why she is QUEEN!
Beyonce has dominated music for almost 15 years. She has had hit after hit and remained a humble, kind, and generous. She's the greatested of my generation hands dow. THE QUEEN!
With a cartload of awards accomplished within this period and counting, Beyonce always keep herself at the top of her game. She's irreplaceable
The top of the list is an absolute joke!




Best selling artist of the 21st century.

So many great songs in such a short time. Should be top 10 of this decade.

They Rock too! Just saw them live. And YES! They should definitely be on this list.

She's the best! Amy Lee's the whole package... She's cute she has an incredible voice & their lyrics are so meaningful!
Just amazing!
