jetsfansocal · 02-08-2013, 04:43 PM

1. Freddie Mercury
2. Robert Plant
3. Elvis Presley
4. Ozzy Osbourne
5. Gene Simmons/Paul Stanley

With all the different music tastes around here, what would you say is your top 5?

crossfire · 02-08-2013, 04:47 PM

I'm partial but i say Jagger.

Jets Things · 02-08-2013, 04:52 PM

You forgot Kip Winger.

GuidoYaztremski · 02-08-2013, 04:54 PM

Those Lennon/McCartney boys were pretty good.

I dont even really like the Stones per se but hard to disagree that Mick is in the top 5.

Robert Plant wasn't bad........

FF2® · 02-08-2013, 05:23 PM

Axl Rose
David Lee Roth
Bruce Dickinson
Bob Seger

AFCEastFan · 02-08-2013, 05:51 PM

"Best" I guess would be Jagger, Morrison, Mercury, Ozzy and Plant in some order.

My personal favorites (in order)

1. Bon Scott
2. Ray Gillen
3. Roger Daltrey
4. Joe Lynn Turner
5. David Lee Roth

Jungle Shift Jet · 02-08-2013, 05:55 PM

Gary Moore
David St. Hubbins
G. G. Allin
Billie Joe Armstrong

Nah...

too many to count really....

Elvis is really a solo but youd have to count the 50s rockers....Vincent, Cochran etc

in the classic rock era Bowie, Jagger, Daltrey, Plant, Mercury

followed by Rod the Mod, Eric Burdon, Hendrix, Van Morrison, Jim Morrison, Ray Davies, Springsteen, Iggy Pop, Bolan, Prince, Tyler, Elton John, some of the punk brigade - Hynde, Bono, Johnny Rotten, Joe Strummer

followed by Marriott Phil Lynott, Rose, Cobain, Mustaine

not sure about Lou Reed Billy Joel or Joey Ramone

dont think Gene Clark or Keith Relf were really commanding front men

I'll be at the 2/15 Soundgarden show in LA. My level of anticipation is off the charts having not seen them together in 15 years!

Ruby2 · 02-08-2013, 10:30 PM

Jagger,Morisson, or Bruce.

Paul canabalizes John too much for me to put John in the discussion.

LOL !!..are you people kidding me with Jagger...I mean kidding me !!...the guy can't even interpret his own songs that HE recorded because he is too interested in acting like an ass on stage...none of the songs sung live sound anything like the original b/c it has to be all about him and his stupid "chicken act" moves....

adpz · 02-08-2013, 10:37 PM

Can't argue with the top choices, but having seen the live a few times - Ian Astbury has to be in the discussion.

I'd pick Mick, Plant and Ozzy as my top three . . .

PlumberKhan · 02-08-2013, 10:51 PM

Bruce Dickinson.
