Chuck Berry or Little Richard is much more worthy of that title, if we're talking about 50s rock.

Queen - Their songs lacked any meaning and were full of nonsense and pompous crap.

The Eagles - They had a few nice songs, but don't come close to other country rock acts of the era.

ABBA - I don't think anyone on this forum is a big fan of these, but it's just astonishing the way this band have been praised by simple-minded people.

Prince - Part of the "catchy funk/disco music" thing that plagued the 80s, but lacked any real talent or creativity.

Michael Jackson - Same as above.

dude, seriously, have you ever actually listened to Prince? The guy is one of the single most amazing artists ever. As for ABBA? SImple minded people? that just makes you sound like a pompous jerk. I am a macho prick and even I can appreciate Abba. Queen's songs lack any meaning? Seriously, did your write this just to look dumb? I can understand bashing Abba or Prince, but Queen? You don't even deserve to have the Kinks up as your avatar.
