If both, then I might be inclined towards Prince. Elvis didn't get credit for writing too many songs. Jimi died too damn young for me to say he was the GOAT.

Considering the complete body of work, variation in style, creativity...

...I'm going to hate myself for this...


What about Sting?

I was wondering about the total rules for a solo artist.

Under these conditions. Writing their own...

Bowie
Sting would rank up there.

Jackson Browne

Prince? Go guitar player but his songs blow.
