australianmusician.com.au and noise11.com Present The 2021 Most Respected Musician Poll

by Noise11.com

We’ve seen a lot of music polls recently, setting band against band, song against song but music shouldn’t be a competition. One artist or song isn’t better than another. Music is subjective. One person’s favourite sentimental country ballad might not appeal to a metal fan’s memories of a hardcore riff-laden rock song. A pop icon might mean the world to a young kid but nothing to a fan of an alt rock songsmith.
