laffs aside the list is approximately as well researched and accurate as the serious lists on that topic which have been spammed onto wikipedia

it's sourced!

nah it's not _that_ well-researched, i could nitpick for days.

the beethoven entry reminds me of the existing piano roll of joplin playing his "maple leaf rag" in june 1916 (the uni-record recording, not the slightly earlier connorized). i've seen people argue over it trying somehow to claim that this represents his actual style. having heard the roll, it mostly seems to me to represent tertiary syphilis :(

I still cherish the moment when I first heard the Bee Gee's "Haaaah", wondering how I escaped hearing that billion-seller in it's day. Seems just like yesterday.
