I just find it funny that he would be named before artists more well known than him. I don't see a single member of The Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Aerosmith, etc., listed, either, so I guess it's safe to say the OP doesn't really take into consideration most genres
George Michael
Kanye West
Snoop Dogg
Tony Bennet
R. Kelly
Smokey Robinson
And you got the damn nerve to leave Britney and Madonna off of there?
Smokey Robinson?
Eternium sis, I'm a biT dissapointed, he may not be very renown as far as his music is concerned but that man has penned some legendary songs, his work alone with Motown is the stuff of legends
