Juanes without any doubt owns any musician ever in every way. La Camisa Negra is such a proggy masterpiece. It embodies all the best things genres from Zeuhl to neo progressive to Death metal have to offer. It is the ultimate piece of music ever written.

From this list, The Beatles. I'm not familiar with Elton Jones.

Lousy selection of "music". Have to vote Beatles. |

I actually like 4 of those and have regularly listened to all but the supremes. I guess its the Beatles but not because the others are terrible. Elvis had some great music as well so its kinda a toss up between him and the Beatles.

I loved his first 7" single, but his later works don't impress me much. Anyway, the Beatles are great but I voted for The King. |

You know that Elvis didn't even write his own songs. |

Clearly MENUDO.
They were the best possible band anywhere, ever -- past, present or future (or in any other posited time-space dimensions). To maintain otherwise is rank ignorance, or basest ignoble self-deception. Edited by Peter Rideout - December 30 2006 at 14:52 |

could this be any easier? I know you selected them based on chart positions, but come on, Janet Jackson, Madonna, Mariah Carey. Zeppelin should be here. They are the top selling hard rock band and, if I recall correctly, all of their albums have gone at least platinum. The Supremes, Elton and Stevie are great, but The Beatles win in a landslide.

Dude... what the hell are you talking about... Juanes is mainstream compared to Arjona's jazz-fusion band |
