You had better have Paul Simon further up your list on his own.... otherwise you are dead to me :hmph:

He is in my top10.... no top 5 ....let's be honest...top three artists of all time.

[Strictly Jake]

top 3 should be britney lady gaga and the cheeky girls

[Ammi]

..it's nice to see some rappers/hip hop artists in there as well, Alf...I'm loving the variety of genres of your top artists../you're a true connoisseur, sir...:love:..

[Alf]

LT - Don't read too much into the placings, I know they're not perfect, but the top ten will be right, and that's all that matters.

Mokka - Paul Simon won't be making a solo appearance I'm afraid to say.

[GiRTh]

That really high pitched -ness of his voice just sounds screechy to me [emoji23] sorryOk thats fair enough but theres a bit more to him than that. There have been few artists who could play every instrument on a whole album but Prince is one of the few. I think he played more than a dozen instruments on the 'Sign o the times' album and did indeed play all the instruments on one of his many proteges albums. I think it may be the Times album. I agree that screech was horrendous but he was undoubtedly one of the best songwriters of his generation, an underrated guitarist and for me the thing he did more than anything else was the way he fused funk/RnB with Rock like no other artists I have ever come across. Prince was one of the few who actually lived up to the tag of genius.
