Do you think there will ever be another musician/celebrity in today's world that can reach the stature and fame of these guys. Many have said that Michael jackson was the last of the true superstars, these guys had unparraled fame. Rest in peace guys and thank you for the music..

                     Frank Sinatra

He ran the 40s!

                      Elvis Presley

He ran the 50s!

                        The Beatles

They ran the 60s!

  Michael jackson - Most succesful entertainer of all time

               He ran the 80s!

The Icons that have defined music and popular culture, their impact and legacy will never be forgotten. Much respect indeed to the true icons.

Special thanks to the 5th member of the Beatles - Zexen lowe

lol half of the Beatles (Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr) are still alive..

Musically they passed away

Madonna is the last of the superstars now and she's not been doing too hot the past few months it seems.


I have little faith in the replication of quality and popularity of any of the above any time soon. Music is easily at an all time low with no hope in sight for a recovery.

Yeah I'd have to go with Madonna with worldwide popularity and appeal. 

I think if there is going to be another universal entertainer... I don't think it will ever come close to those legends in mass appeal.

If it does happen, it'll probably be someone thats coming from a country, newly creating their own music industry.  Not one of the established ones.

Umm... U2 has been making hits for over 30 years.

They are not even close to dead, with a #1 album this year.

I do think we'll see superstars as big again, they may not be musicians however.

No, for sure not (though, of the listed, I only like the Beatles. But they will never be surpassed). Your 70s is empty. You might wanna add the best band of that decade, Pink Floyd?

Not unless people start making good music again.

This stopped happening around 1992.

Not to demirit U2 for their musical contributions but I don't think they are as industry dominant as those listed (including Madonna).
