They were all the greatest at what they did. Every single one is deserving of almost every title they have been given.

• Elvis had the longevity and a monstrous catalog, with styles ranging from the roots of rock and roll to gospel. In his day and in his prime, who the hell didn't love old Pretzel?
• The Beatles had a short lifespan but were probably the most influential pop culture icon in history. While certain fanboys on site may not like the idea of this... the beatles were the first true "boy band". They borrowed from many and made it better (in the multitude of covers on their first couple of albums), then dabbled in some extra-circular activities and put out some of the greatest music ever recorded. IMHO, they went out while they were on top of the world, something the other two artists in this poll can't say. They went out before a demise, so to speak.
• Michael Jackson, from child star to recording and releasing the single best selling album in history. And not just because it was popular and had a few big hits on it, that entire album is incredible and I don't think there is one single weak song on it (The album is Thriller if you've been living in cave for the past 30 years)

Seriously hard to choose one over the other.

^^Thanks for bringing some sanity back in this one Snowblue...the MJ and Madonna fans were making a run...which just won't do.

I'd just like to go on the record saying that I like Michael Jackson and don't like Madonna.
