I would like to think that Bob Dylan was such an artist, because he is the best (over confident and incredibly subjective opinion, it wasn't entirely without irony), but he isn't. I don't really think anyone is, I know people who hate the Beatles, I know those who won't listen to rock music of any sort.
I would also like to think that Bach would be another one, but most classical music, especially his, is too intellectual for many.
