Is that David Wilcox the folk singer? This is the last picture on his myspace page:

Is that really the same guy, or is this a different David Wilcox??

Neil Diamond- Yes Neil, I too am a believer.

Neil Diamond's good, but he's not the King!
And no, I'm not talking about Elvis!

41. KING DIAMOND!

42. Blackie Lawless

Some may think King Diamond is a controversial choice, but for his genre and style he has crafted some excellent metal music and some amazing lyrics. That said, Blackie Lawless may be one some may scoff at more, but the man has written some beautiful music. Forget "f**k Like A Beast" - here is proof to back my statement up.

No, certainly not the folksinger, who I actually hadn't heard of until I went looking for a picture. This is David Wilcox the blues/rock legend.

Barry Manilow (mostly 1970s)

Too lazy to post pics, and neither are all that pretty anyway...

Eminem- Don't know if people would agree, but he's written some decent songs.

Barry Manilow (mostly 1970s)

No objection here. I've been thinking Manilow belongs on the list, although I wasn't going to be the one who nominated him.

47.) Lionel Richie

I don't think he could miss during the 70s/80s.
