Alright, here's some shit to argue about. Rank the following lists of artists. Don't rank them all together, rank each list separately. Then fight. These are intentionally basic, fairly well-known bands/artists, at least for Sup Forums.
List 1: >The Beatles >The Rolling Stones >Queen >David Bowie >The Velvet Underground >Bob Dylan
List 2: >Neutral Milk Hotel >Radiohead >My Bloody Valentine >Weezer >Pavement >Sonic Youth
List 3: >Kanye West >A Tribe Called Quest >De La Soul >Wu Tang Clan >Death Grips >Kendrick Lamar
List 4: >Talking Heads >Patti Smith >Gary Numan >New Order >Wire >Television
If there's an artist you haven't listened to, simply exclude them.

Give me a more interesting selection to choose from
3 >Kanye >Wu-tang >Tribe/de la idk the difference >DG >Kendrick
4 >New Order >Patti Smith >Television >Talking Heads >Gary Numan >Wire

Too specific of an audience, merge and add more of a survey selection like OP, otherwise it's not even remotely interesting.
How about:
List 1: >Coltrane >Davis >Mingus >Coleman >Sun Ra >Henderson
List 2: >Stravinsky >Cage >Reich >Schubert >Chopin >Schoenberg
List 3: >Aunt Sally >Can >Swell Maps >Frank Zappa >James Chance & the Contortions >Catherine Ribeiro

I can get behind these List 1: >Mingus >Coltrane >Davis >Coleman >Sun Ra very hard to compare these guys though; the first four are basically interchangeable depending on how I want to rate them List 2: >Schoenberg >Schubert >Chopin >Stravinsky >Cage >Reich to answer my own: List A: >Schubert >Mahler >Wagner >Chopin >R. Schumann >R. Strauss List B: >Schoenberg >Webern >Berg >Ives >Bartok >Stravinsky List C: >Feldman >Cage >Reich >Boulez (own compositions) >Stockhausen >Part
