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.

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. Tongue

Anyway, the Beatles are great but I voted for The King.

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.

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
