I realize Pink Floyd would be walking away with the vote on this poll.
But I couldn't vote for anything other than The Beatles.
There must be a bottom seven selling musician or group, but that would be impossible, unless you looked at the list the top 7 were taken from.
AC/DC must also be in the top 10 or 20. But I don't think even those will have troubled the vote as it currently stands.

Isn't this going to be a forgone conclusion on a prog website?

I gave Elton a vote 'cause I had Honky Chateau on for the first time in yonks and really enjoyed it.....there have been few better runs than Elton from 1970-75. 
I like to feel the suspense when you're certain you know I am there.....

I dig all of these to a certain extent...but I love the Floyd.

The Beatles + Led Zeppelin are my favourites of those bands. I have always been distant to Pink Floyd, though some moments on their albums are extraordinary. Elton John has written many brilliant songs, but some rather annoying ones too. I wish he had done more instrumentals like Funeral for a Friend which is very prog-like. I'm not really interested in Elvis, Michael Jackson and Madonna.

Led Zeppelin is my favorite out of these, with Pink Floyd a close second.

I can't say that any of these are my super faves, but I'd say I like The Beatles the most.

that that is the crème de la crème of music isn't it.

Love all to one extent or the other. In that case, going with the most consistently interesting of the group.

Madonna.

This are the 7 most sold artists/bands according to Wikipedia, with 250 million sold units or more, which of these do you like the most.
