Musicians of a Generation

So This seems to be my list of Musical Artists that define and revolutionize a generation in terms of music. This is the list I thought up, only going back to the 40's.

Frank Sinatra 40's

Elvis Presley 50's

Beatles 60's

Journey 70's (I'm bias, there's probably a more fitting one)

Michael Jackson 80's

Madonna 90's

And now we come to the end of the 2000's, and I was wondering who will be the "Voice of our Generation. I have heard a couple people (jokingly) say Kesha is, but when I think about it, there really hasn't been one that rises above the crowd. Do you look at a rapper? An R&B artist? A rockstar?

Kanye West? http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/11/13/kanye-west-im-the-voice-o_n_143703.html

Bigger than Jesus?

Taylor Swift? http://idolator.com/5395432/taylor-swift-named-the-voice-of-a-generation-by-president-of-her-label

Succumbs to nerves but has a heart of gold?

Those 2 are battling out for the Voice of a Generation? hahaha, the irony

If i were to pick a musician to define the sound of our generation, I would be incredibly bias towards the Black Eye Peas or Jason Mraz because they appeal to me so much.

Apparently, according to the Grammies the Voice of the 2000's is......

U2!

Seriously, they have one the most important ones most often by far.

I don't particularly like them but I guess its a broader audience and international appeal. I live in the Bay Area, and so I am affected by the music around the area and which is usually Rap and R&B (a little alternative). Looking at these artists (i like all of them), they do have that in common.

Maybe I should start listening to more U2?

This should be the voice of the generation!

On the other side, Vegas in 1 month. 2 interviews in April (one is a phone interview). My dad should be coming home that month as well. So much to do!
