David Bowie vs Elton John vs Prince vs Alice Coope

I'm more of a greatest hits fans with Reg, maybe a song or two from Prince but his style kind of grates on me. Still, I saw a concert of his on TV once at it was fantastic; knocked his studio stuff aside easily. Vince, well, again some hits and some stuff from when Alice was a band. A band I was in covered one of their numbers, Cold Ethyl.
Otherwise it's Bowie. er, Robert Jones I mean, David as was. The guy made serious music and seriously good music and sold it to people in technicolour as they buy into image first...

This one is so easy it is prince by a country mile. He is leagues above these ines. Prince's unreleased stuff alone beats all these peoples stuff. Only one close talent wise is Michael Jackson but he did far less music then all the scandal did for him. I was around in 80s and most people thought Jackson and prince were best. But with these forums history can be revised. Beatles Elvis etc were in reality nowhere near as good

Classic imho.......songwriting at it's best.

Alice, easily. The man and the band.

Of these choices it is only Elton who I've had any significant interest in.  Only saw him live once though, on the "Breaking Hearts" tour.  I still enjoy Captain Fantastic, Blue Moves, and Single Man.

Alice Cooper's early albums I like too. The only album of Prince I have ever heard is Purple Rain.

Tumbleweed Conection is a treasure and so is Madman but Tumbleweed got something spessial imo

Bowie. Then Elton. Don't care for the other 2.

David Robert Jones

Alice Cooper is second, never cared much for the other two

Since you're obviously fishing for some raised eyebrows with this statement, I'll bite. Which Labyrinth did you see? It's tough between Elton John and David Bowie, but I'll go Bowie because I enjoyed his albums more. Elton John certainly had a long list of fantastic singles, and I'm more content with a greatest hits from him than an album. As for Prince, I've only heard a few singles on the radio. Not really my thing. Same for Alice Cooper, though I love "School's Out", never heard anything else and never felt compelled to pursue it.
