Huh? I know plenty of people including myself that love both.
Sixpack--
No, I'm not "shitting" anyone. It was a tossup between Elvis and the beatles. I went with Elvis due to the sheer overall impact of his presence and his influence on so many lives. The Beatles likewise bring a lot to the table, and in my mind place a very close second.
And where does it say that the artist of the millenium has to be a great songwriter? If that were the main criteria then there are a ton of big legends that would qualify... Paul Anka, Joni Mitchell, Bob Dylan, Barry Manilow, Frank Zappa, Paul Simon, Burt Bacharach, Jackson Browne, Brian Wilson, Jagger/Richards, etc etc etc
A great performer can't be artist of the millenium??
