Propaganda: Someone else submitted Prince as a solo artist, but he still deserves a chance to shine. If Springsteen can make it in with his backing band, surely the Revolution's presence can get the Purple One a spot. While Prince is obviously the standout in both musical skill and physical attractiveness, there's no way he'd let anyone unskilled or ugly into his band. They have also reunited and performed without him on several occasions.
