What’s your opinion...
Personally I feel like Da basement and Dr Dre are the handful of artists from the 90’s that should be put in that list

No Robert Johnson
Without him you would not have blues or r&B
Also by extension no rock and roll

I would put all 3 in the next 10, most likely. Marley and George somewhere 11-14 but Dre, somewhere 17-20.
