Greatest Artists of the 20th Century...

Here is a list (in no particular order) of people who I consider the greatest artists of the 20th Century. Let me know your opinion. I'm talking ARTISTS here, not pop icons.

Prince (of course...)
Miles Davis (trumpeter/bandleader)
Igor Stravinsky (composer)
Frank Zappa (composer)
Charlie Parker (saxophonist)
Louis Armstrong (trumpeter/singer)
Pablo Picasso (painter/sculpter)
Steven Speilburg (film director/producer)
Stanley Kubrik (film director/producer)
Alfred Hitchcock (film director)
Rowan Atkinson (comedion [yes I am serious!])

There are many, many others who have just missed the cut, but to me, these are the top ones. (I appologise for the lack of females, it was unintentional!)
