[NSC] Greatest ever British rocknroller

[aftershavedave]

Dusty Springfield.

I do like Dusty, I will add as she's a Brighton hero

I do like Dusty, I will add as she's a Brighton hero

As Terry Garoghan once sang

“Dusty Springfield has her name on a bus, ‘cos her Mum lived in Hove”

I don’t see a problem?

He's in OK? stop moaning or this could be the biggest vote choice ever here x

 

[aftershavedave]

Rock and Roll? Tommy Steele

added. I think I meant a Rock and ROLLER but added

 

[aftershavedave]

Or Bowie? What in the smash hits poll kind of poll is this?

I will add Mr Bowie but RnR f*** off!

 

[aftershavedave]

It's testament to the OAP vote for Tommy Steele that the sponsor for his vote has gone to bed

 

[aftershavedave]

Marriott and early Rod Stewart are in the frame - just behind Chris Farlowe and Roger Daltrey. Marriott might even just sneak into second place.

On the female side, for range of tone and intensity, can only be Sandy Denny.

I'm going to add both. Sandy ain't RnR inho

Singer or rocknroller? They are not necessarily the same thing.

The best singer is Elizabeth Fraser btw.

This a rocknroller poll, so while Liz (I have never heard of) might rock does she roll?

 

[aftershavedave]

This Poll is open for nominations. Crispies is not an option x

 

[Professor Plum]

Was the comment about Daltrey really necessary?

 

[marlowe]

Sticking to the rock criteria for the female nominations, she's British, she's rocking and she's proud to bs a honky woman here singing with Vinegar Joe alongside Robert Palmer on TOGWT.... Elkie Brooks

 

[marlowe]

Another nominee for the female category and another blast from the past is Scottish rocker Maggie Bell, vocalist for Stone the Crows.....

Her vocals might be more familiar to those who enjoyed TV detective dramas in the 70s/80s as she sang on the credits of long running tv series Taggart and not quite so long running TV series Hazell....

Her vocals also featured in yet another TV detective series, "Lewis" when she provided the singing voice for Joanna Lumley's character in the episode "Counter Culture Blues"

 

[wellquickwoody]

Robert Plant, Ozzy Osbourne, the list is endless…….

[Norman Potting]

Nick Lowe

Perfomer, writer, producer and , for a while, Johnny Cashs' Son in law.

......and pertorming at the DWLP in February

 

[DavidinSouthampton]

Joe Cocker?
Just voted Chris Farlowe in the hope of facilitating some hat eating.

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Singer or rocknroller? They are not necessarily the same thing.

My thoughts exactly. Rock & Roll is a specific genre.

 

[knocky1]

John Mellor.

 

[Lenny Rider]

I was probably too young, and my mind was on other things , to really appreciate Led Zep by the time John Bonham died in 1980, but as the years have gone by, imho there is only one winner in this poll.

A kindred spirit amongst us on NSC, as he helped save Kidderminster Harriers, Robert Plant is the greatest British Rocknroller, for both his voice and stage presence. (and his hellraising obviously)

 

[bhafc99]

Confusingly-worded poll, as others have said, as only a handful of these would even make it on to the fringes of any kind of ‘best singer’ poll.

But if the factor we ARE judging is ‘rock n roll-ness’, then it’s got to be:
- In a genre of ‘rock’ music, more or less.
- Factor in stage presence, charisma etc - genuine x-factor, not the Simon Cowell show.
- Have an element of hell-raising, debauchery about him/her too.

Which for me, whittles it down to the likes of Rod Stewart, Mick Jagger and Robert Plant.
