Damn right Prince is fucking immortal.

And it's written by ?uestlove, it seems. Cool. Looks like I'll be picking up Rolling Stone for the first time in a long time.

Only #28? sad

So The Beatles are #1 - #27 right? And Prince comes in at 2nd place?

Im assasinating the editors if either Madonna, MJ or Elvis beats him in this list.

Sorry to digress, but this might be a total giggle In March's (I think) "O" magazine, Madonna told Oprah that the award show kiss was suppose to be quick (I'm thinking like Madonna and Christina A's kiss was) but Britney just went for it and Madonna was too much of a showman to not go along with it.

Interesting to see if Britney rembers it the same way.

As for the list....Prince revitalized the music scene before Nirvana had pubes. Putting Nirvana ahead of Prince invalidates the list.

Rolling Stones needs to crawl out of its own ass.
I'm firmly planted in denial

Being placed ahead of The Who is quite an honor.

Wonder where he'd have been placed at this time last year. Seems to be a ground swell of support 4 our man.

Now put him down on down as one of the greatest guitar players of all time and I may read that rag again.

i dig u2 and nirvana but neither of them should be ahead of prince, i mean at least in vh1's top 100 prince came in at 18 or something, when we talk about influence there are not too many ahead of prince

IT,S ONLY 1 DICK'S OPINION REALLY NOW. I VOTED PRINCE NO.1 THAT'S ALL I CAN SAY ABOUT THIS MATTER! AN OPINION OF THE DEMOGRAPHIC WHO VOTED COLLECTIVELY ISN'T A TRUE INDICATOR ;YOUR OPINION IS ALL THAT MATTERS AS WE ALL SEEM TO AGREE "R.S." HAVE LITTLE CREDIBILITY ANYMORE! cool
[i]ESPECIALY IF U DID VOTE AS DARLING LACE 17 ENCOURAGED;U WOULD'VE SEEN THE QUESTIONAIRE ACCOMPANING 'YOUR VOTE WAS A MARKETING EXCERCISE AS TO WHO ACTUALLY BUY'S & READS "R.S"[/i]
