The music industry's 100 most influential people; Prince is 49th.

Here is an article from The Independent stating that "the pint-sized artist" is the 49th most important person in the music industry.

This is a horrible list.....but look at who they chose to make it. They probably gave them a list of people and said "put them in order". I'm not saying this because of where Prince i on the list either.....but look where everyone else is. Russell Simmons at 81? And how many of these people don't even belong on this list? Please!

I totally agree. I hate all these lists that go around every year. This is one of the most ridiculous lists I've ever seen. Kanye West? WTF?? Britney Spears ill, 50 Cent double ill

Whoever assisted with this list should be taken out back and shot!

Maybe i am biased as a Prince fan but don't you think he should have been a little higher than #49?

Geezuz.... where do they get these embeciles that make these ratings?

eek Ok... I mean....really... is this list for real???? This really disgusting! What the hell are half the people on this list...doing on this list??? Let's Be honest what the hell and who the hell has 50 Cent influenced other then those people who have recovered from gun shot wounds to the face ... showing them that one day, they too can obtain a public speaking gig!!! lol

I thought it was kinda funny that they put Eminem on the top of the list crediting him with influencing 75,000 kids to register to vote through the Hip Hop Sumit, when RUSSELL SIMONS (#81.....81) is the main reason why the Hip Hop Summit exists in the first place -- Something to ponder....

I have to agree that this list smells like the rotten bananas that DOOK threw up. But it did teach me something. Leave it to Mr. Bush to not only increase the hate this country receives, but also ruining radio by letting one of his buddies own half of the radio stations.

This list has been ripped straight from the latest issue of Q Magazine from the UK.

I really think the whole purpose of "these lists" are a way for The Money Machine to try to justify today's mediocre artists. They take people with marginal talent, hire stylists and choreographers out the ying-yang, buy them a spot on the charts by way of radio, then come up with bullshit lists like this...rating among the truly great and influential musicians.

I always read "these lists". They funny as hell! falloff
I'm sick and tired of the Prince fans being sick and tired of the Prince fans that are sick and tired!
