Too little time in the limelight. Good, yeah, but top 25?

Is enough of his solo work known enough to justify top 25?

I guess if you consider "pop" broad enough. I consider him primarily
country or country rock.

Whoa! Does "pop" totally encompass country?

Now you're talking.

If "pop" is broad enough to encompass the above, Elvis has to be on the
list.

What about James Taylor (your personal tastes aside)?
Neil Sedaka?
Sam Cooke?
Wilson Pickett?
Curtis Mayfield?
Otis Redding?
Marvin Gaye?
Carole King?
Joni Mitchell?
Judy Collins?
Marshall Crenshaw?

I'm not saying I'd put *all* of these on my list. They're merely
suggestions.

(p.s...I realize Joni Mitchell's Canadian. I'm taking a continental
approach.)
