How could you say Scriabin when there's only like three recordings of him?

Yuja Wang
Kissin
Elton John
Ray Charles

Lol just kidding!  If that was my real list, I bet all of you guys would have raged at me!

I think that you can't really label the top five 20th century pianists.  Because once they reach a certain caliber, you like can't compare them any more.  You know what I mean?  You can't really say who's better, so I think this is more of a matter of personal preference.
