    I've been admonished for not participating in these things, is the criteria who i like better, or who's the more influential, important artist? i'm going to go with the latter:

    Bracket A:

    1) Elvis Presley- Elvis. simon's a nice songwriter, but Elvis lives!
    5) Paul Simon

    3) Stevie Wonder
    2) Bob Marley- this is the toughest one for me- where would music be w/o stevie wonder's mid-70's albums? but marley launched the reggae revolution and stands as one of the most important artists in the rock era.

    Bracket B:

    1) Bob Dylan- Dylan. berry was there at the creation, but dylan's ongs and lyrics defined a generation
    4) Chuck Berry

    3) John Lennon
    2) Elton John- Elton. as a solo artist, lennon is vastly over-rated, while Elton John is the most important post-beatles british artist.

    Bracket C:

    1) Jimi Hendrix
    4) James Brown- Hendrix had one shining moment, but the longevity of James brown's career and his lasting influence on soul music stand out.

    6) Buddy Holly
    2) Prince- Prince is one of the most prolific artists of our generation. Buddy Holly's legacy, along with those of Hendrix and Lennon, has been mythologized by his early death

    Bracket D:

    1) Bruce Springsteen
    4) David Bowie- Bowie. the boss is agreat entertainer, but bowie's career spans four decades and includes a myriad of styles

    6) Ray Charles
    2) Neil Young- same as bowie. if you don't understand Neil young;s importance, listen to cortez the killer, or the closing medley of The Loner/Cinnamon Girl/Down by the River from the CD version of 4-way street. how they left this off the original LP is beyond me.
