For those reasons, Beyonce is the defining artist of our generation, and as such will go down in history as a great.

1.) I think she has a decent voice (I'm not so biased as to deny that), but I wouldn't say she's one of the best singers of the last 20 years (let alone of all time)...
2.) I don't really take chart-topping music very seriously (at least from the 80s until present).
3.) The only pop artists that I know of to ever "define" a generation were The Beatles... and even that is a bit of a stretch. To say that a mediocre pop musician with a decent singing voice represents an entire generation (one which I am apart of) is ridiculous.

No, I don't troll. What Meredith Monk does with her voice is extremely unique and difficult to pull off. While I may not always enjoy her music, I can at least acknowledge that she's one of the most innovative singers in modern music. I don't think Beyonce has the versatility to pull off what Monk does, and if she were to ever attempt it (either with success or failure) then I will have immense respect for her.
