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.

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.

Relax killer. I do research when I have to.

So why didn't you research Prince's wiki page or something before you said that he didn't excel in any the criteria apart from popularity?

If you read my post more carefully, you'd have noticed that I said "THEN AGAIN, I never really cared enough about his music to do any conclusive research".
Then again = "i could be wrong".

I share your sentiments. I've tried tooth and nail to get Elvis to #1.
We had some damn good arguments but never really reached a conclusion, so we just left Beatles at #1.
It's not like it's that huge of a deal, as long as they are the top 2.

Elvis changed the whole perspective of rock. The first white man to play black music. Wtf did the Beatles do besides influence and write good songs?

Are you insane?

There were lots of white guys playing black music when elvis was still a teenager. Like Johnny Otis, for example:

This is a few years before Elvis ever recorded, and it's much more black sounding than anything Presley ever did:

In this list the Smokey's solo career and The Miracles are counted together? Or just the group?
