    Surely it is Kanye? He has told us that It Is He.

    I'm not a rock superfan or anything, but Kanye? I think my understanding of music might be a bit off (I am old, after all).

    Who do you think The Greatest Living Rock Star On The Planet is?

    Jimmy Page. Kayne West is an oxygen thief.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,442 ✭✭✭✭Grayson


    Linda Martin of course.

    A rock star needs to play an instrument!

    For me it's Phil Collins :p

    On a serious note... Moby.


    Now I know that'll get a laugh but the guy has made a huge range of different type of music and plays nearly every instrument known to man.

    Prince too for that matter. Even though he is bat**** crazy


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,484 ✭✭✭✭For Forks Sake


    Elvis Presley

    Living?

    The man was a corpulant mess when he was alive, several decades six foot under are unlikely to have improved him

    Bruce Springsteen. Still does a good three and a half hour set, on a good night.

    As unpopular as it will be...Bono?

    Dave Grohl, some people still living have been better than him in their primes, but many of those are quite washed up now. I believe Dave Grohl entirely embodies the rock star lifestyle.

    Jagger
    Richards
    Daltry
    Townsend
    Clapton

    The Boss. Who else but Springsteen could give such energetic 3-hour shows well into his sixties?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,250 ✭✭✭✭Iwasfrozen


    Kanye West. Obviously.

    Bruce gave fantastic shows recently in Ireland and has huge love for his fans, whereas Garth Brooks.. well lets not go there

    The only one who is still making great and rockstar-esque music and has the not media controlled attitude of Kurt Cobain, Lou Reed etc it has to be unquestionably Kanye


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 450 ✭✭RomanKnows


    David Bowie, obviously.

    Brett Anderson also gets the nod.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 60 ✭✭careful_now


    Dave Grohl :)

    In terms of cultural influence it actually is kanye.

    Paul McCartney is still alive, and if we're gonna talk about cultural influence was there ever a bigger influence than The Beatles?

    Steven Tyler.

    Is he headlining Glastonbury or making great albums in the last decade? No. We're talking right now.
