But it is fairly dead on, though I think Patti Smith deserves to be a bit higher, Sufjan needs to be lower, and I would have put Elton John in the top 15.

Alright fair enough but as someone whos had his gag reflex tested over the years by RS lists of [whatever] I'd like to refute...
heres the top ten as it is:
10. Prince
9. Joni Mitchell
8. Elvis Costello
7. Brian Wilson (The Beach Boys)
6. Leonard Cohen
5. Paul McCartney (The Beatles, Wings)
4. Tom Waits & Kathleen Brennan
3. Bruce Springsteen
2. Neil Young (Buffalo Sprinfield, Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young)
1. Bob Dylan
And heres what RS would probably say:
10. Paul McCartney because he's a Beatle but by placing him at 10, they blow John more.
9. Costello because he's the nerdy mans punk
8. Brain Wilson because they have to blow pet sounds
7. [some other female I can't think of but still undeserving]
6. Neil Young
5. Marvin ***e
4. Mitchell
3. Plant
2. Jagger
1. Dylan
