Re: The Ultimate Rock Icon.

REM are certainly more talented than Oasis. I'll take that to any court in the land!

lol REM spent 40 years trying to write a Live Forever

PMSL the song Live Forever repeats the same verse over.

Don't get me wrong, it's a top tune but seriously.

Probably the first time ive ever done this, but i agree with BT.

Tomorrow Never Knows has 1 chord throughtout but it's one of the greatest songs ever written (the best, imo)

Jimi Hendrix wrote about 3 good songs. The rest were technically impressive but were a bit shit song-wise.


When it comes to talent and songs, songwriting talent trumps all. No good in being the fastest, most versatile guitarist in the universe if you have no ear for a melody

Ian Brown
Paul Weller

Jesus wept, Thom Yorke would piss over most of what Chungo has posted in this thread.

Steve Tyler anyone?

Yes, deffo.

In the 70's Tyler and Perry were icons in the hard rock world (Pre-clean up, over produced, over polished era that got them known here o'course) They were selling out stadiums and albums by the shed load.....did drink drugs and women in the same amounts too....icons.

As voted by NME readers the semi finalist are

David Bowie
John Lennon
Liam Gallagher
Alex Turner

Can't say I disagree with any of the above, each worthy winners.

Well I fucking do. Alex Turner? A rock Icon so iconic that I had to look him up? Liam Gallagher? Liam?? I wouldn't even put Noel on the list but at least he would be nearer to it. Bowie? Rock? Fucking hell.

No place for Roger Daltrey? Keith Richards? Lemmy? Ozzy? Plant? Gillan? Jim Morrison?

Yes there was room for all those nearly-rans but they got knocked out in the early rounds, just goes to show the younger generation don't regard the oldies as icons anymore.
