I really resent them putting Bob Dylan in the top ten. Not only does he have virtually no hits, his music did not age well. Also, his voice is total and complete ass.

To have Prince higher than Stevie Wonder and James Brown is criminal. He wouldn't exist as a musician without either of them.

Dylan is there because he influenced an entire generation and moved singer-songwriters and folk music into the electronic age. The top 6 and 8 should definately be in the top ten. Prince, Stevie, and James should not. Being successful or having stamina != being great. What did those three bring to the scene that wasn't there before? Who did they influence? Nirvana, Pink Floyd, and Chuck Berry had much more impact on music and they still do.

The list parameters are suspect, as are all lists of this nature - clearly sociopolitical significance played a party in an artist's merit not just artistic excellence (Marley at #11 for example).

That said, the top 10 seem reasonable at least...

Any list that leaves Pink Floyd out of the top 10 is /auto-fail.

What are the conditions?

Is it by albums sold? Days on number 1? Lifetime money earned?

I doubt there are any sort of parameters.

VH1 caught on a while ago that people will watch count down lists just to see who is where.

The order isn't important. All that matters is what you call the countdown.
