ELVIS! ...?

Posted by Audiophilander on July 31, 2007 at 11:14:24:
ELVIS! Aw, c'mon, he was a rhinestone studded Vegas sell-out.
There are so many 20th century artists who could lay claim that title:
music icons:
Chuck Berry
Little Richard
Jim Morrison
Lennon/McCartney
...but my choice would be JIMI as greatest 20th century musical artist
If we're talking about actual art, then it might be...
Pablo Picasso
Salvidor Dali
Maxfield Parrish
...or that dude who paints those gambling dogs. ;0)
If we're talking about literature, then...
Isaac Asimov
Kurt Vonnegut
William S. Burroughs
...and the best author hands down would probably be Mark Twain (late 19th early 20th), with Rachel Caine running a close second (hey, she's my wife; I leave her out at risk of grievous bodily harm! ;^D)
Note: My choices would lean towards American literary artists and to a lesser extent musical artists based upon exposure and appreciation, but traditional art and film is a triffle (truffle? -smile) more international. FTR, I dislike lists almost as much as I dislike the subjective chutzpah of Salon proclaiming the greatest artist of the 20th century was Ingmar Bergman; that's why I contributed one! (grin)
