Smiling and waving and looking so fine, don't think
You knew you were in this song

Well, what do we expect? Public with attention span of a gnat and historical recall of less - every list of this kind tends to focus on what's happened in the last ten minutes anyway. There's Bowie from the 70s, a couple from the 80s and the rest are still in puberty or even younger if you pick Doherty. Right, I've had my Grumpy Old Man moment, I am going back to my cave and I am rolling a big stone in front of it. Harrumph. What, you want a list as well, do you? Here goes: Neil Young Robbie Robertson David Bowie Arthur Lee Bruce Springsteen Steve Hackett Steve Winwood Rory Gallagher Skip Spence Jim Morrison Pick the bones out of that. |

As for me:
Curt Cobain
Jimi Hendrix
Angus Young
Keith Richards
Slash
Robert Plant
Paul Weller
Michael Hutchence
Eric Clapton
Lou Reed
I know a couple may be a triumph of style over substance(s) but I think that is a big part of what makes a rock god.
