David Bowie vs Elton John vs Prince vs Alice Coope - Progressive Rock Music Forum

Does this mean Jim Henson was actually a journalist? And how about the Dark Crystal? I suppose it was a National Geographic film?

David Bowie will always win in my heart even though I don't care much for any of their music (I had no idea people seriously listened to Alice Cooper...) because of Labyrinth, which is easily the greatest documentary of all time.

Since you're obviously fishing for some raised eyebrows with this statement, I'll bite.

Which Labyrinth did you see? LOL

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.

check this song by Alice Cooper

also this song

also I segest you check out Captian Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy pure crosover prog of best mark

lovely Mellotron by Elton here

David Robert Jones

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

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

David Bowie > Elton John > Alice Coooper > Prince. David Bowie's music is very special to me, and it is an easy choice, but Elton John released a strong of excellent albums in the 70s that I appreciate very much as well. Alice Cooper's early albums I like too. The only album of Prince I have ever heard is Purple Rain.

Watching while most appreciating a sunset in the moment need not diminish all the glorious sunsets I have observed before. It can be much like that with music for me.

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, easily. The man and the band.

And I'm a fan of Bowie and Elton. Haven't listened much to Prince.

I shook my head and smiled a whisper knowing all about the place

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

I like early Bowie, John, ....and Cooper.....Love It To Death and Killer are great rock albums.....but I pull out Tumbleweed and Madman more often to listen to than either Bowie or Alice.

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
