I'm thinking, Elvis, Cliff Richard and Robbie Williams off the top of my head...
They have to have had chart success in the singles OR the albums, and can be from the 50s to present day, if it is a contentious choice, state your reasons why they should be included, and we'll kick start the debate...

Thanks, got some I hadn't thought of, so that is good, my list only reached 47, so this should take me into the late 50's I hope...speaking of the 50's guess we need a few peeps from that era as well...

[greendemon]

humm, see the debate above, I would prefer soloists, or at least lead singers who have done solo stuff to be honest, all the above will feature in the Top 64 Groups section...
