There's a new list out there for people who love lists. It's VH-1's "100 Greatest Artists of All Time."

And not to spoil the suspense, but the winner is the Beatles. (If you must, here's the top 20 from USA Today.)

Elvis too, and siniatra, but do not come even close the the artistic creative and musical talent of , Paul McCartney,John Lennon, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr, They just don't. What the beach boys,zepplin and dylan, did The Beatles just did better.

    These lists just keep coming out. Who cares? It's really just an excuse to have a "get together" for celebrities, as if they don't have enough "award" shows to go to anyway. Just spare us. Please.
