Pollock made the list, but Raphael didn't. Strange.

Neither of them belong. Charles Murray, "Human Accomplishment" [he used quantitative statistical methods], composed the list of the greatest practitioners of Western art:
Michelangelo - [score 100];
Picasso [77];
Raphael [73];
Leonardo [61],
Titian [60];
Durer [56];
Rembrandt [56];
Giotto [54];
Bernini [53];
Cesanne [50];
Rubens [49].
And Bernini was not a painter but a sculptor.

If he did not include Norman Rockwell, then I cannot abide by his list!

Not quite. I was thinking of someone a bit higher up the ladder.

Rockwell did not make it even in the top 480.

That is from an early period of Elvisus Velvetus. I prefer the later school of work...

Anyone who rates Pollock superior to Pannini deserves to be ridiculed.
Here's Pollock's "best" in Blue Poles #11:
And here's one of Pannini's masterpieces (Rome d'antiqua):
