Nobody in that top 5 should even be on the list. Sorry. In fact, David Bowie is the only one in the top 10 I would put anywhere on the list.

And Morrissey, a rock icon? Wtf?

Hey, Axl beat Bob Dylan....

Excuse "Mr. Dance is better than Rock & Roll"....

Ok for starters how can Dave fucking Grohl be ahead of Elvis? Thats bullshit. And where is Jimmy Page or Robert Plant?

The fact that anyone is ahead of Elvis is complete bullshit. This is the worst list in history. :vomit:

Atom Heart Mother-

Well lets see, you like Axl and you like Liam? Yep you are into musicians with Egos. Thats fair I guess.

I for one do not think that Oasis, is a good band. I dont know why, maybe I was exposed to a different Genre of Rock? But his personality doesnt fit right with me, I saw him once and I just heard him getting boo'ed off stage until they were gone for good. I am sorry to know that there are idiots who do that to entertainers, but I wanted to know why my friends drooled over a guy with the same tone of voice and did nothing on stage to capture the audiences attention.

This is just my opinion and I know it wont please everyone, but the guy can do much better than to have little or no charisma on stage than just do stands of some sort of military stance.

Musicians who are on an active role is the thing that does capture my attention, thats how I think I see Rock N Roll should be. Not a guy who overly focuses on the Beatles themes to connect himself onto someone else.

This is just one man's opinion. Not the declaration for war.

As for the List of Musicians.

I am sure someone else can really capture a better list, not some trendy magazine about the hip an unhip clothing sense of rock magazine that just covers a particular scene.

Yes lets throw everybody in the same boat from a country that brought the world the greatest rock bands of all time just because of one stupid faggy indy loving magazine.

Kurt Cobain at the top........ yeah, kinda sets the scene for what's to come. I never understood what was so special about him/nirvana. He was a mediocre Guitar player with a bad voice who blew his brains out, not majorly missed it has to be said. And where the Hell is Angus Young?

Kurt Cobain was awesome...He had a great voice.. I mean I think Axl is way better but to say he had a bad voice is ridiculous. Also, to talk negatively like that about him killing himself is just wrong.

And I bet there are a lot of people who miss him and his music
