Mount Rushmore Memorial is a 60-feet high statue in South Dakota depicting the faces of U.S. presidents George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, and Theodore Roosevelt. Have you ever seen it for yourself in person?

The aforementioned statue is used by some as a point of comparison for their top four favorite or most important entries in a category. Have you ever used Mount Rushmore as an analogy of your favorites or what you believe are the most important examples of one thing or another (as in, a Mount Rushmore of this, that, or another)?

The latest instance I read of Mount Rushmore used as a template for people's favorites was in a piece on a country music blog I like about the possibility of David Alan Coe, the outlaw country singer/songwriter who died earlier in 2026, being inducted in the Country Music Hall of Fame. The author noted that Coe, regardless--and , in some cases, maybe because of--some of his dubious career moves and personal actions--is on some country lovers' Mount Rushmore. Would you put him on your country Mt. Rushmore?

I believe my first mention of Mt. Rushmore in this forum was in one of the questions in and/or a comment on my survey about Ernie Kovacs, wherein I placed him in (on?) my 'Rushmore of comedians. Which of my Mt. R'more of comedians, placed in no real order below, would you have on/in yours?

With only four spaces/faces as points of comparison, the Mount Rushmore Memorial may be useful as a point of comparison for any discourse on a subject, but it may only be so useful. Have you ever referred to that sculpture in the way it's mentioned in the previous three questions?
