[NSC] Greatest ever British rocknroller

[BN9 BHA]

I would vote for Shakin Stevens, Green Door and all that!


TNBA

TTF

He’s on the poll list now

 

[AstroSloth]

that may be the case if he was an option, but he's NOT

Which reflects poorly on the OP imo

 

[theboybilly]

Johnny Kidd for me...well his demise was very Rock & Roll anyway

 

[The Antikythera Mechanism]

Steve Marriott should be in with a shout.

At the risk of making the voting choices a mockery, he's now in, so calm down dear

 

[Sid and the Sharknados]

A lot of people voted for Barabus.

If the question is who is the best British singer in a rock'n'roll style then my vote would have to go to the irascible old lockdown sceptic:

To be fair, Barabbas was unquestionably the more rock and roll choice.

I'm more of a music person than a singer person, which is why I'd argue quite strongly that Pete Townshend is the best answer to this question, but as far as singers are concerned I'd throw in Eric Burdon and Ian Gillan.

 

[Sid and the Sharknados]

Given half the other names on this list, I'm not sure why Macca gets the "really?" next to his name. Quality rock and roll singer.

 

[birthofanorange]

What about Eric Burdon?

 

[joydivisionovengloves]

Not sure about Robert Plant.

It’s been a long time since he rock and rolled.

 

[aftershavedave]

What about Eric Burdon?

he's in

I can't fathom anyone voting for anyone except Freddie Mercury as the best singer in this list.
Also IMO the best entertainer.
Few others on there with a shot at most all round talented, like Elton John, but best singer? Freddie all day long.

 

[SULLY COULDNT SHOOT]

Wow no Joe Elliott, no Bruce Dickinson?!!!!?

Great singer but he had about as much to do with rock and roll as Bruce Forsyth.

I’m not so sure, I mean “rock and roll” is different things to different people and so many artists and singers touch on rock without doing solely rock music. It’s a tricky one. Elton John for instance has done some rock and roll, some soul, some showtunes, some power ballads…

 

[withdeanwombat]

The answer is Screamin’ Lord Sutch.
