Maybe Dylan, who's recorded somewhere in the neighborhood of 40 albums. Elton John has recorded 31, where as Bowie recorded 26.

The problem with Dylan, compared to the others, is that he doesn't stretch his creativity all that much. His music is good, but it's relatively all the same. Elton John ran the gamut from tender singer-songwriter stuff to glitz. Even Bowie was a chameleon in that respect. The Beatles did it (certainly with Sgt. Pepper), but they only released 13 albums...

Bowie changed through the years as did genres. When it comes down to making money, he makes McCartney look like a pauper.

Seriously?

At the time of his death (2016) Bowie was worth about $100 million. Certainly impressive.

Paul McCartney is currently worth right around $1.1 billion.

Nice try though, Sport..

Mozart never did anything to match Queen Bitch.

yet 230 years later Mozart is still known and his stuff is still played.....

The fact that the guy couldn't have a #1 hit without enlisting performance assistance from Freddie Mercury and Mick Jagger should tell you he's not the greatest. Surely someone labeled "the greatest" could do that on his own.

Sure, he was a remarkable talent, but the greatest? I'd go with Elton John long, who had nine #1 hits, before I would David Bowie...

But who wrote 0 songs.
