Lennon was an attention whore who seemed more interested in making headlines than making an actual point (and we have one of those right now in the form of Kanye West). And Bowie, while certainly the most talented of the bunch, didn't really stand for much aside from simply being an interesting person who made good music.

In my opinion Elvis was a fan of music first, he always strive to be a better singer and he had broad taste in music for the part of the country he lived in at the time.
John Lennon dropped out of the music scene when his second son was born to be a better father, maybe at first but I don't John Lennon was always an attention whore.
The only positive thing I can say about Marilyn Manson is I like him better in the Wonder Years.
