11 slots is a lot when both are in the top 20.

I think that's pretty tight in that range.

Just heard this for the first time, a dopey pop cover of a Chuck Berry classic from 1956.

That did annoy me. Anyway, Pink Floyd and The Beatles win for most prominent London Olympics placement.

Yeah, that was a bastardized version of Baba.

Anyway, Fuck Buttons > everyone else at the Olympics.

Do you put him out of the top 27?

I've never really contemplated his position I guess.
All I know for sure is that he does very well in popularity. I cant see him excelling in any of the other three criterion, but then again I never really cared enough about his music to do any conclusive research.

Prince is one of the most acclaimed artists out there and his way of blending several different pop styles into one was highly influential on many artists. Many tried to recreate something similar but nobody came even close to Prince.

This is what annoys me about a lot of your posts in these parts of the forums. You rarely are prepared to do the research of any artist who isn't already a favourite of yours and yet you regularly push for revisions of the lists.
