Oh dear god. You're my dad in disguise aren't you

 

Why I oughta!

Well everyone else is talking about ancient pre-historical bands, I thought I'd liven things up by actually mentioning some GOOD ones...

 

DITTO!!!!!!

 

Jim Morrison (how could you leave him off?)
Robert Plant
Grace Slick
etc

 

I thought about Morrison, and he's obviously a great choice. I think I left him off simply because I'm not too crazy about The Doors. I like them, they just don't rank all that high for me really. Also, and I think I'm saying this just for the reactions!, but there's a differance between being a great frontman and being just, drunk.


A lot of his 'stunts' were purely down to alcohol, so while he'd be great to go out on the piss with, I wouldn't want him fronting my band.

 

Preach it brother! Add Zappa to that!

Finally got to SEE the captain - via Grey Whistle Test Dvd - Marvellous!

 

Robert Plant - Led Zeppelin. (He gets my vote as he's in my favourite band.)
Jon Anderson - Yes.
Steve Winwood - Traffic.
Peter Doherty and Carl - The Libertines. and maybe................
Bob Marley - Bob Marley and The Wailers.
