    Write in for Prince but I'm not sure he counts as "Rock".

    Neil Young
    I don't know about him qualifying for this poll, but I'm always going to vote for Neil. The rest of the list would rank as follows:

    Fuck off peter puffer
    Dylan
    Hendrix
    Berry
    John
    Simon
    Bowie
    Springsteen
    Elvis
    Reno

    How do you figure Neil not being a top 10 solo artist of the rock era? He’s second only to Dylan as a songwriter and in some respects his body of work is more impressive. He was making great albums into the 90s.

    Shakira “playing” that guitar for 10 seconds is enough for me to put her #1

    I couldn’t understand what she’s saying? @creepycoug ?

    Fuck off Row Peter Puffer, the correct answer is...
    tie - elton john, elvis, dylan, berry, simon

    they all were/are great
    Young is great but to me he got famous in bands

    What no Rod Stewart?

    Oh I put him at #1 easily provided he fits the definition of a solo artist. Its just that these categories...front man, solo artist...are a little vague to me.

    81% 90% of Neil's body of work was outside of Buffalo Springfield and CSNY. I don't know where this narrative is coming from that he was in "groups" more than he was a "solo" act.
