George Harrison and Tupac Shakur held down spots 4 and 8 respectively. The last two musicians were held by James Brown and Bob Marley, who filled spots 11 and 12.
1. Elvis Presley

3. Charles Schulz

The amazing entries, for me, are Einstein, Monroe and Dean? Does anyone under 40 even know who Marylin and James are? And what is it about Dean that still resonates after 50 years? Sensitive hurt eyes? A cool jacket? But Einstein....where is that money coming from?
