It is funny but after looking at this list and pulling out material of each artist, I'm trying 2 figure out how Mj got on the list. I'm a Mj fan, but his work (not counting Videos) can't touch these other artists in my opinion. Neither his musicianship or lyrics hold up.

WHAAAAT?

Rick James I understand, but James Brown? Sure, the man had his shortcomings here & there like the rest of the ones mentioned on the list, but in no way shape or form do you push all the right & wrong buttons by being just funky with horrible lyrics. You cannot sustain a legacy if there's no substance in the words you sing.

That being said, Rick James is extremely hit/miss to me, lyrically/vocally.

Dude, it ain't written in stones you may like MJ's singing better, but I like a lil' roughness around the edge myself.

When a mofo is screaming, I better believe he was staring @ the devil dead in the eye,,,,,James was,,,wait a minute why in the pits of hell am I explaining myself here, dammit?

Lol...............the Mj fans crack me up.

I did NOT say who the non-musician was..........but it seems we all KNOW who it is.

If they all create music, they are musicians. Doesn't matter who you are referring to really.

OP just asked you to rate who you liked most to least. That is all. Nothing more. Nothing less.

1. Prince (whatever! )

2. Michael Jackson (the REAL greatest of all time!! And I miss him. )

3. Stevie Wonder (too many r&b/soul classics; funky whenever he feels like it!)

4. Rick James (one of the realest funk artists ever; his interviews are classics too!)

5. James Brown (the godfather of all of THESE^ artists. )

God forbid Janet creep up into this thread. This muthafucka would turn into a 60 page

thread. Nevertheless a few are taking Graycap's analysis way too serious. It's

just the way he sees it. No need for a mutiny.

Maybe we should leave Mj out of these discussions so they don't get bogged down.
