It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

In my case, the consensus greatest also are mine. I'm a pretty

boring guy, I guess. I'd also rank as greatest the novelists Tolstoy, Dostoevsky, Turgenev, Balzac, Stendhal, Proust, Fielding, Dickens, Hawthorne, James, and a few others. Theater? It all begins with Shakespeare in post-Greek drama/comedy (no one disputes the Big Three of Greek playwrighting).
Painting, again, follows the beaten path .
Certainly, as epochs come and go, certain artists are more elevated or lowered. But, the longer the passage of time, the less the list changes and the fewer alterations of order. Take painting in the first half of the 20th century. I know of no major critic that would argue against Picasso or Matisse as the greatest; the dispute centers upon which has ascendancy.
In this respect, art follows wine: there hasn't been a real realignment of Bordeaux first-growths in several centuries.
