R. Kelly and Kanye both on there :dazzler:

Bob Dylan and Andrew Lloyd Webber should be higher!

Thats quite interesting, thanks for posting :wink:

Only know a few

Noel Gallagher should be number 1.

You can't really say so and so should be number one, because this is based on pure facts.

R Kelly should be number 1:lovedup:

:thumbs:

I Believe I Can Fly is :love:

Paul mccartney is number 1 and should be number 1 so shhh

R Kelly should be number#1 on what basis? I appreciate some of his music, but he's no way in the same league as, say, McCartney, Jagger, Dylan, Bowie, the Gibbs or Elton John.

Brian Higgins + Miranda Cooper <3 :lovedup:
