I tried. I can't do it.

I can only do 3:

Prince
MeShell
TTD

I'm tempted to put Lenny @ #4 but something is stopping me I like all kinds of people after those 3 so it's hard to rank beyond that...

Aside from Prince.....

1. Parliament/Funkadelic/George/Bootsy
2. Miles Davis
3. Stevie Wonder
4. Meshell N'degeocello
5. Earth Wind & Fire

Ask me again next week though....

Not in priority order:

Miles Davis
John Coltrane
Thelonius Monk
Sting
Sarah Vaughan
Ella Fitzgerald
Stevie Wonder
Frank Zappa
John Mayer
Chick Corea
Carlos Santana
ad infinitum

Gee.....

I have so many, that for me to make a list is unfair.....I simply can't limit myself to only 5....

Beck
The Beatles
The Who
Oasis
Kasabian

i'm my haste i didn't even notice that i did that. so they followed my bad example. LOL. well, i'll remove mr. nelson and substitute hhmmmm, TTD i guess, in no particular order on the list.

VoicesCarry said:

That's what I was saying! Although the thread does say solo artists only, but that "rule" was broken the first post in.

andersongs said:

This is interesting since Kasabian are the new Oasis who were the new Beatles.

minneapolisgenius said:

Kasabian are garbage!

keenlythegod said:

I actually like them a bit. I only have their recent album though, and I like most of it except for about 3 songs. They are overrated though IMO. I guess I'd have to hear their first album (which I hear is better) to really judge.

But go figure, I can't stand Oasis.

Stevie Wonder
Me'Shell Ndegeocello
Terence Trent D'arby
Seal
Luther Vandross

Who said prince was among my top five?

Mint Condition
Earth,wind&fire
barkays
confunkshun
chante moore

vainandy said:

Great top 5. I could live with that.

GangstaFam said:

well, janet has managed to bore me to tears while madonna has released two of my favorites consecutively so that's why she's in the top five. prince...well, lets put it this way...prince has been playing vegas for a few weeks now and i chose to hit vegas THIS weekend even though he was NOT playing. U2 and tori shre the same spot but this thread called for some kind of numbered order.

VoicesCarry said:

i don't have five favorites. i had to include prince and madonna just to make full five. my list should look like this:

1. U2/tori
2. bowie
3. everyone else

It's been so long since I read that interview, but didn't Mailer get her to admit that since the Sex book wasn't done the way she wanted it to be done, maybe she shouldn't have done it in the first place? Anyone know?
