1960s - The Doors, Rolling Stones
1970s - Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin
1980s - Metallica, Iron Maiden
1990s - 2Pac/Biggie, Alice In Chains, Pearl Jam
2000s - Kanye West
2010s - Kendrick Lamar

I like plenty of rock artists from the 2000s-today but not well enough to feel any were worthy of putting on any "favorites" list. A lot of "pretty good", nothing amazing.

Was going to put Eminem for the 2000s but remembered Slim Shady LP was '99. Two great albums not enough to get that spot.

Alaskans hate Jewel, btw. Mainly because she was from there, and then she acted like she wasn't, so they felt burned.
