No. And here IS the salient point. Man or woman, Rock to Country, Classical, to Bluegrass, pick your damn artist which you've fallen in love with and realize that.....there will NEVER, EVER be, that ONE artist, that ONE sports or historical figure that will traverse in totality........TIME.
What you are describing, what you are hoping for is an individual who, in YOUR day, as long as you or they may live be judged as being, "THE BEST."
Got me? Hope so because ultimately, there is never, nor will there ever be, a "best" anything, anywhere. There will only ever be a...[wait for it] "LATEST." Console yourselves with that reality as.....it's the truth.
Done here. Move along, nothing left to be seen people.

@Freeranger Not necessarily.While I agree with your overall point that who constitutes the "best" in anything is largely a fluid construct that depends on the personal opinion of the person judging,there are at least a few fact-based, immutable guidelines to support such claims.In the case of the music industry,it's record sales.So far,no one person or group has sold as many albums as the Beatles,so on that basis alone,you could make a solid,logical claim that they are the greatest act in history.
