A Lack of Objectivity and Research in Ranking Musicians & Athletes
I just read a ranking of Greatest Bass players.
They ranked James Jamerson 16th best UTTERLY STUPID
Jamerson was the BEST period.
They ranked Paul McCartney 5th
I don't remember seeing Bob Babbitt's name;
I can never forget the end of Midnight Train To Georgia when it's just Gladys's voice and Babbitt's bass
________________________________
Just like after the turn of the century ranking the greatest athletes:
They put Michael Jordan #1
Evidently they do not consider the great impact Babe Ruth had on this whole country.
Maybe Bill Russell's 11 NBA championships out of 13 seasons doesn't click in their brains.
They probably did no research on how great Jim Thorpe was.

I think they are doing these rankings just to fill up space on the web and places like Yahoo
