What is your personal opinion and what is facts?

Who really was or is the best!?

Baring in mind none of these singers or bands exsist anymore as they have disbanded or died

For me, personally:

The Beatles
Oasis
Michael Jackson
Elvis Presley

I'd guess a lot of people would put Oasis further down, but I'm putting them high up just because I love some of their older stuff so much (What's the Story (Morning Glory) album, etc).

I'm not a fan of Elvis at all though, I've only got one song by him on my iPod. But hey, personal preferences.

My personal opinion is Oasis. I guess who was actually the best would go by record sales. I don't know. I love Oasis, they provided the soundtrack of my youth.

Oasis are decent, but completely overrated. Still, I really enjoy some of their earlier stuff.

The order for me:

The Beatles
Elvis
Oasis
Michael Jackson

Why do you think they are over rated?

Love Oasis to, shame they have split!

I was seriously debating putting MJ 3rd and Oasis last. I'd probably say that Michael Jackson is "better" than Oasis, however I probably prefer Oasis to MJ.

The Beatles and Elvis are considerably better than the other two though.

Is that because the 2 you put at the bottom are the same to that were inspired by the top 2 you choose?

I don't think Oasis should be in the same poll as those 3 personally. Maybe Marley or Sinatra.

Oasis shouldn't be on the list in that company. A 2nd rate Beatles/Lennon tribute band.

Out of those, Michael Jackson. But yeah Oasis seems a bit of a random choice. Yes, great britpop band, but if Oasis are in there, why aren't Stone Roses or Blur, for example

Always thought Elvis was overrated. Maybe it's because it was so different and new back then, or because his act was revolutionary for the time, but I don't rate him.

It is unfair to compare these as they were from different eras.
The Beatles help set the path for Oasis and bands like them.
Elvis probably would not have been so big but for Jerry lee Lewis marrying his teenage cousin.
Michael Jackson again another type of music. As they were all famous and their music is still played I cannot see that we can say any are lacking.

I have my own favourite musicians but I cannot pull down one artist at the cost of another. We should appreciate the artists and their talents.

Because Oasis achieved more then Stone Roses and Blur plus the list would take forever.

Oasis - my favourite group. For my money they had two of the best albums ever put together in DM and MG.

The Beatles - massive Beatles fan since I (and they!) were young. Some of their stuff hasn't stood the test of time but some still rocks to this day.

Michael Jackson - not a huge fan but liked some of his earlier stuff (probably up to, and including, Thriller)

Elvis Presley - never been a fan. Like a couple of tracks but that's it.

look

The Beatles
Elvis

seminal influences in music

maybe you can add the Beach Boys, and maybe you need a R&B man also - not sure who - some say Chuck Berry, although he wasnt as prolific hitwise.


Oasis and MJ don't fit this.

Oasis are my favourite group of all time but they wouldnt exist without The Beatles, so have to put the Beatles first.

Michael Jackson I cant stand, never seen the appeal of his music.

Elvis not a big fan but he wass better than Jackson
