[NSC] Greatest ever British rocknroller

[aftershavedave]

No Mick Hucknell

correct

 

[aftershavedave]

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

in with a minor proviso

 

[Norman Potting]

Johnny Kidd plus Pirates....

....Way before my time, claimed to be the father of heavy rock, partly to due his guitarist Mick Green.

....Any of the more senior members of this board have a view on this, may even saw him live ??

 

[kojak]

Keith Moon

Well if we are having people born outside the Uk then why no option to vote for the British Elvis Presley ?? - Cliff Richard

 

[smillie's garden]

No Rob Halford? Oh dear

 

[Withdean and I]

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

Given the original poll started with Paul Weller in (who I love but also isn’t your classic rock n’ roller) I thought Bowie was a fair suggestion given his incredible and legendary career that yes, isn’t rock n’ roll like Robert Plant or Ozzy Ozbourne but still more rock n’ roll than Neil Tennant

 

[Frutos]

Freddie

 

[METALMICKY]

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

Maiden fanatic here but Bruce fails a bit on the debauchery front. His best stuff was at school having 2 tons of manure delivered to his house masters door and urinating in the pot of peas.

Fitting that Freddie is leading this poll today on the anniversary of his death.

I won't be listing Neil Tennant I'm afraid

I went confidently to the poll to note my choice but when I saw the list and was reminded of the great British depth of talent , I wavered. How do you compare Freddy Mercury with Bruce Dickinson or Robert Plant in his Led Zep days ?
So different but all brilliant….
I love ‘em all.

Indeed. Saw Bruce back in May on his solo tour and his voice was I think better than on the current Maiden tour. And my god his female bassist Tanya O' Callaghan was great. Not only fit but just a little fierce and totally in the pocket with per playing.

 

[Nitram]

Ian Gillan (Deep Purple) or Robert Plant for me, Brian Johnson (AC/DC) needs an mention, lifestyle Ozzy Osbourne or Lemmy.

 

[Juan Albion]

Mercury was born in Zanzibar.........

Yes indeed, I've been to the house he was born in. It's now a museum to him.

Nevertheless, if he became a British citizen then he definitely qualifies as British.

He's in because I went there on holiday. Ian Gillan is also in although I've never heard of him

There is some doubt that Mr Mercury might be disqualified for being born overseas. I like his tache so I think he'll be in

 

[aftershavedave]

Keith Moon

I've never heard him sing. so he's out

 

[aftershavedave]

No Rob Halford? Oh dear

who dat?

Lines have to be drawn, but he's in
