JUG said: Obviously I realize the underlying silliness of top ten lists such as these, but like most people I love them anyway and the debate they inspire. So here is my own list of the top ten greatest people. I'd like to leave the definition of 'greatest' completely open, but just to give you some idea, the kind of things I'm taking into account are: achievements, influence, renown, exceptional talent, excellence in a particular field/across fields and lasting legacy. So, in no particular order, my list is: - William Shakespeare
I'm not sure I'd stand by all of them if presented with a compelling argument for other people, but I think it's a good list. What do you think and what would your list look like? |
Beethoven>Stravinsky>Bach>>>>>Mozart
Mozart (and music from the Classical period in general) is really overrated.
Post 20th Century Classical>Romantic>Baroque>Classical
