We'll settle our differences at the HH patio suite for the Michigan game and smoke a peace pipe. For now, these are your options.

I never really fell in love with an artist or band, I like songs and performances.

I Googled to look at artists outside of your list and don't feel skrongly about any, there or here.

*the closest I could get to participating would be a stretch in genre and artist type, Trent Reznor

Music shit polling is in often an exercise in damned if you do, damned if you don’t. Stick to GOATs and it’s boring. Go too niche and it’s the cool kids trying to show off how special their taste is.

In this list it’s Dylan vs Elvis. I probably listen to Dylan or Neil Young more than Elvis. But he’s really second only to the Beatles in terms of changing the course of popular music.
 
I do plan on partnering with @dnc to do the late 80s to the present rock NIT tournament. Should be a good one.
 
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
 
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.
