While doing a comparison across times, we also need to consider the fact that "public opinion" simply means "no of smses". In most cases, they accept multiple entries from a single phone. If a poll had been conducted between Himesh and ARR couple of years ago, when Himesh was at his height of popularity , it is quite possible that Himesh would have been voted as being more popular. :) While there is no doubt that ARR is one of the best and is a living legend, it is easy to lose focus if we start comparing against other greats like IR, RDB , MSV , SDB, SJ. Let's enjoy his music and leave the rest.
