This blog topic
is limited to conversations about Gator's Pantheon
and its two immediate offshoots.
All other artist lists on the Alley -- including Cats' own versions of
the Pantheon -- are created, viewed, and discussed on the
Artist
Lists
page.
Nothing on this site seems to stir up controversy quite like
the
Pantheon. It takes the messy, incoherent wildness
of rock & soul music and imposes a grid on it. How
perverse! Maybe that's why it provokes conversations like nothing else
I've ever
done. I love it for that.
Check
out FAQ Pantheon for
detailed information about the criteria,
the time periods, the tiers, and the reasoning behind
what are obviously judgment calls.
Comment here to say why
you agree or disagee with the approach -- or the results -- of Gator's
version.
To make
your own Pantheon list, you can start by making a copy of one of the
six time
period templates under Artist
Lists. Then make it your own! Or you can start from
scratch with a blank template.
As Cats' Pantheon lists and comments accumulate over time,
Gator will create aggregated and/or consensus lists as needed to focus
further discussion.
