Rock star survey

DebGreaves · 30 Dec 2003, 19:39

Was reading on teletext earlier about a survey of the best rock stars, think it was carried out by virgin. Ozzy osbourne was voted number 1, they didnt mention meat, so was wondering if any1 else had heard about this survey. Robbie Williams was mentioned in it too, since when has robbie been a rock star

Since he produced that horrid piece of pop vomit called rock dj

The only time he should be on a stage is when he is sweeping it after the concert has long finished

But anyway, I wouldn't worry about the lack of a mention of Meat too much

.I wouldn't be suprised if the participants were selected to get the right trendy results

If the Virgin execs have any sence, they will be breaking down doors to get to Meat for the chance to release Bat III.

INdeed strange. Mr williams a star... no.... a pop star... hell no!!!!

Ozzy Osbourne okay... but not at number 1. Think Meat must be in that list.

RSG · 30 Dec 2003, 23:16

Ozzy would definetly be in that list. And so should have been Meat. But if you read around somewhere, Meat says, he doesn't consider himself a Rockstar. Maybe he might send us a message on why he thinks that way. I remember him saying something like....

If I were a plumber and I came over to do a job, and it wasn't that good, are you going to hire that plumber again??

Okay, maybe I used the wrong quote for this topic, hehe, I know a few ladies on this board that will call him back again.

But that was his words "somewhat". But if you were to ask me, Meat would definetly be in the top 5 rock stars!! I feel he's number one. But a lot of people will say,
Ozzy Osbourne, Elvis Presley, Jon Bon Jovi, John Lennon, & whoever else they may want to say.

Personally if Meat don't want to be known as a Rockstar, then he is A Rock N Roll hero. And that should be greater than a Rockstar. :)

DebGreaves · 31 Dec 2003, 14:50

I agree RSG that Meat should be a rock n roll hero, agree that ozzy should be in their somewhere but maybe not at no 1. My sister is into Robbie Williams and when I lived aith my mum before I got my own place that is all my sister used to play, so I can tell you his music is definately not rock, lol, so how can he be a rock star. I also agree he should be sweeping the stage not on the stage, lol

This was featured in yesterdays Daily Sport, aparantly it was a survey for the rock personality of the year voted for by virgin radio listeners.
The top 10 personalities are as follows:-

10. Pete Doherty (Libertines)
9. Gwen Stefani (No Doubt)
8. Jack White (White Stripes)
7. Sir Paul McCartney
6. Keith Richards (Rolling Stones)
5. Chris Martin (Coldplay)
4. Robbie Williams
3. Bono (U2)
2. Justin Hawkins (The Darkness)
1. Ozzy Osbourne

How many of these do u agrre should be in the top 10.

If it wasn't for Pink Floyd (God bless their souls) Robbie Williams would have REALLY been sweepin' the stadium - after concerts. God bless Pink Floyd. As for Meat Loaf - the people who didn't vote him (and they didn't vote anyone from Pink Floyd*) are brainless.

ChrissybabezNI · 31 Dec 2003, 20:29

Pete Doherty (Libertines) ---- Maybe im stupid but I have never heard of him, or the group name

AndyNI · 01 Jan 2004, 01:30

No Axl Rose? That's crazy. Crazy!

AndyNI · 01 Jan 2004, 01:49

Rollingstone had "100 Greatest Guitar Players" once. Jack White and Kurt Cobain were in the top 20 and Slash didn't even made the list.

I don't like Slash as person for many reasons but as a guitar player he should have been in the top 20, he is far better a guitar player then Cobain or White.

What about Bon Jovi?

Heather.

AndyNI · 01 Jan 2004, 03:10

He's more pop than rock.

tukayaway · 01 Jan 2004, 19:00

What about Freddie Mercury and Keith Moon?

Crystal Eyes · 02 Jan 2004, 15:58

Bon Jovi is more rock than pop.

Have you heard 'Slippery When Wet'?

Some people have a very skewed perception of what constitutes pop music.

Crystal Eyes · 02 Jan 2004, 19:43

Yes. I own 'Slippery When Wet' and I still think Bon Jovi is rock. Perhaps not hard rock but still rock. Just my opinion and I'm saying no more.

Fair enough, you're entitled to that opinion. .

Anyway, there are some serious gaps in this poll. Robbie Williams made one song with a guitar in it and now he's a rock star!? What?
Ozzy got number 1 due to recent media attention. . .
Macca shouldn't even be near this, where is Robert Plant? Bowie. . .

Personally I think Axl Rose should be in there, even if he is a w4nker. . .
Jack White has done wonders for music recently, and good Lord can he play well.

Also they're missing Thom Yorke.
