[@therealpotpol4027]

[@thecutter199]

Thom yorke is not even a "rock star" if anything i think jonny greenwood is more rock n roll than him. Although i don't like radiohead i know that jonny is the one who elevates the sound of radiohead

[@revnrave]

I love your list

[@nisuraroneth2928]

Nice I see you are a radiohead fan , but I got to ask why Thom ? I mean no hate on him I absolutely loves his stuff . Hmm I guess its yar taste and opinion 😎😇😊

[@rockroll3065]

Great List but instead of Carl Wilson I would put in Alice Cooper

[@DavidSweetnam]

This should really be called the most popular American and British male singers of the last few decades 😆

[@godeplatformyourself7108]

Love the fact that all 4 Beatles found their way onto this list, although Ringo should have been higher (higher than George, although George was my favorite), and Geddy and Neil made it from Rush, whereas Alex Lifeson did not...and I think it's because he is so thoroughly humble and unassuming that you wouldn't know he's a rock star--even when he's on stage!!! I'm also amazed that many people made this list that I've honestly never heard of...

[@cancerandaids3822]

Nah George definitely should be higher he was a much better songwriter his guitar playing was genius and amazing and he actually tried contributing to the band possibly as much as John and Paul And he had a better voice Ringo only write 2 songs while George wrote a lot even if many got rejected

Can someone tell me why is Bob Dylan over Lennon and McCartney?

[@Carol0000P]

That has been a trend in the past few years, I think it all came about after the Nobel prize. He is a good writer but not a good singer nor is he one of the top three rock starts of all times…

[@DaleHusband]

Mistake: The one pictured at 38 is actually Malcolm Young, rhythm guitarist, who was the actual leader of AC/DC until he retired from the band and died a few years later (Lead guitarist Angus Young was his younger brother). Brian Johnson was the lead singer after Bon Scott died.

I don't think this list captures the essence of 'Rock Star' vs merely a great rock musician. Mick Jagger, Axl Rose, Ozzy, Freddie Mercury... those are rock stars. Billy Joel for example is a great rock musician.

Elvis is the embodiment of a rockstar. It was Elvis who started the iconic "rockstar" lifestyle that has been present in rock and metal singers from the 70s, 80s, 90s, 2000s and today. Elvis is without a doubt the biggest name in rock.

[@gabaduran3333]

And the stubborn ones will never miss, I have heard of some of these artists who are in this video, saying that the appearance of Elvis was one of the best things that has happened in the history of rock n roll, they being children, other adolescents, but Elvis was always there to influence them all, you look for this and you will be surprised by all the singers and instrument players who have mentioned that Elvis was like the Messiah of rock, he appeared to save it when literally the genre was going down or better said when some rockers had to leave for a long time for problems

[@vincentharris7854]

1) I assume this is a list of artists whose work help pushed Rock music (& its sub-genres) forward and whose lifestyles help create & personify what it meant to be a "Rock Star." 2) I also assume you deliberately excluded certain rock adjacent genres which greatly influenced rock such as Country, R&B, Gospel, Blues, Reggae, etc. Which meant excluding figures essential to rock's development: such as Ray Charles, James Brown, Johnny Cash, Smokey Robinson & Bob Marley. 3) Missing: Janis Joplin, Grace Slick, Joni Mitchell, Joan Jett, Chrissy Hynes [Great women of Rock] - Phil Spector [Producer as the star] - Jon Anderson, [The voice of the quintessential prog band] - Jerry Garcia [King of the hippies] - Sly Stone, Prince [Seamless fusion of Funk & Rock] - Jack Bruce, Chris Squire [Star bassists] - Alice Cooper [Shock Rock pioneer] - Michael Stipe [Leader in alternative music]
