EW the 30 greatest artists right now

bruce springsteen

have never heard of 15. The Civil Wars

19. Jake Owen

^this guy was sitting like 4 rows in front of me in a fsu shirt @ the ncaa games in nashville or else id of never heard of him either

ok fuck this shit

they're on the hunger games soundtrack. xxp

Wow Azealia Banks hype is sky high

is this based on career or as-we-speak?

i borrowed a black keys album from the library this week and was pretty disappointed.

Why isn't Avril Lavigne on here?

Who could possibly vote against fun? Ok it's "Fun" but idk who that is.

^me neither, but wikipedia suggests we have all heard the song "We Are Young"

fuckin Beach House

I mean I like 'em fine but come on

Are Gotye and Kimbra both there on the back of that one song?

how come Bruce Springsteen is on here, but Paul Simon isn't. What the fuck? What the FUCK?

xp does it go like this?

"We are young
We are free
We're in Entertainment Weekly"

doesn't scan very well, lyricist could do better

looking this over again it really just looks like a cynical attempt to tick as many demographic boxes as possible

I just can't believe that the Entertainment Weekly list of the 30 Greatest Artists Right Now got it so wrong

28. Calvin Harris? I can't even remember when the last Halo Benders came out.

t-swift easy

It's been a slow week for lists of the 30 Greatest Artists Right Now, have to take what we can get.

2.Taylor Swift
13. Kanye West

nuff said, know what i mean???

where the fuck is Chris Brown?

huge burn on lana del rey imo

Those particular artists really were the greatest at the moment that issue was published. It's a shame that most of them have fallen so far since then.

i lol'd

This is fucking bullshit. Where the hell is Graham Parker?

"9. Mumford & Sons"

lol

and the black keys are in a different category of contempt for me. not only do i think they're grossly overrated, i also think they're terrible.

RIP Nate Dogg

why does everybody hate fun

No, no. It's Fun PERIOD.

why does everyone hate having a fun period?

taylor

kind of hilarious to see beach house tacked on right at the ends as the token intrepid "indie" entry.

hasn't it been like 8 years since the last fiona apple album? i guess they're pre-empting that the next one is going to be fierce.

Hilariously awful stat: Adam Dunn is 0 for 30 against lefties

Finally, a stat that proves a major league team really could pull a fan out of the stands and he (or she) would be guaranteed to do no worse than the millionaire who's usually in the batter's box.
Chicago White Sox slugger Adam Dunn(notes) has no hits against left-handed pitching in 30 at-bats this season — or 34 plate appearances if you want to make his performance sound a tad worse.

great wrong thread oops post!

Adam Dunn obvs not hot right now

VOTE FOR FUN

"The Adele Effect: How She's Changing Music"

Coldplay still shows up on these things.. when will people learn... Hey, they forgot U2

can't believe they forgot oOoOO. claaaaaaaasic EW

and no Death Grips either! who do they think their audience is?

...Mumford and Sons, Liturgy, Bruno Mars...

don't think this "Florenece + the Machine" rebranding is gonna make them any less shit tbh

bey obv

Noodle, you mean using a plus sign instead of "and"? because they've been rockin that since they formed, ain't no rebranding

The Adele Effect: How She's Changing Music"

This article was mostly lame. The article suggests that perhaps the next Adele will not be a pop singer but will be a rapper possibly instead. Ah, so that's how Adele is changing music, the next big huge star will sound nothing like her. The article also discussed how amzingly the Adele cd kept selling even while she was recovering from throat surgery(as if Michael Jackson Thriller only sold copies while he was touring).

caulk, read it again man

it's an Italian Florence + the Machine cover band

i was pronouncing it "floor niece" tbh

The Super Bowl really destroyed The Black Eyed Peas, did it not? They were the world's biggest hitmakers until that show.

I voted Foo Fighters because they a cool band who make great music!!!!!!

Was about to say, will.i.am must've thrown this issue across the office.

jack white is kinda boring

that Fun band are TERRIBLE. accidentally caught them at club nme about 2 or 3 years ago...if a major has been pushing them for that long that shit is not gonna happen.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

i literally stifled a laugh when i scrolled down to A$ap Rocky

voted civil wars

if a major has been pushing them for that long that shit is not gonna happen.

u know they have had a u.s. #1 hit for like the last month. i think they have "happened." fyi ps.

now that i realize what Fun is I enormously regret my vote

ew, these are the 30 greatest artists right now?

99% of all cd sales occur at merch tables, duh

also this list is the epitome of entertainment weekly, NEVER CHANGE

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

what the fuck are these results?

beach house huh? at least theyre not grizzly bear

i think that's actually what the sticker on their new album is going to say

i assume the Bruce voters are including his current tour in "right now" because that album is not very good

no black keys votes is at least otm

dear lord i just noticed that adele is literally puncturing her cheek with her fingernail wtf

either they photoshopped her nails on or they photoshopped the blood off
