Who Is The Greatest LIVING Music Legend?

[Jagger69]

Well of course this is all subjective to your own musical tastes.

Rock:
1: Chuck Berry
2: Eric Clapton
3: Bob Dylan

Country:
1: Hank Williams, Jr.
2: Merle Haggard
3: Willie Nelson

Blues:
1: B.B. King
2: Gregg Allman
3: Buddy Guy

Pop:
1:
2:
3:
Because there is no such thing in Pop music.

This is a damned good list TRW although I'd probably have to go 3(b) on the rock list in a tie between Paul McCartney and Neil Young and 3(b) on the country list with George Jones but no disagreements otherwise. Really subjective question. :thumbsup:

Paul McCartney

Chuck Berry for me,

Exactly! How the hell Chuck isn't on the list baffles me. He is pretty much a god as far as Rock n Roll is concerned. What about Fats Domino as well? They are in their 80s but they are still alive.:tongue:

B.B. King.

Tony Iommi

Little Richard may not be the best but he belongs on the list.

"He claims to be “the architect of rock and roll,” and history would seem to bear out Little Richard’s boast. More than any other performer - save, perhaps, Elvis Presley, Little Richard blew the lid off the Fifties, laying the foundation for rock and roll with his explosive music and charismatic persona. On record, he made spine-tingling rock and roll. His frantically charged piano playing and raspy, shouted vocals on such classics as "Tutti Frutti", "Long Tall Sally" and "Good Golly, Miss Molly" defined the dynamic sound of rock and roll'

B.B King

P.S I do love Chuck Berry.

I agree with all of you,and add Jerry Lee to the list.
But if you put a gun to my head I vote for Jagger.
The rest are boring.

Wow, thanks Swede! That shocks me....:shock::shocked:

Living Drummers?? Neil Peart.

Speaking of one on this list... how is Phil Collins? Is he better? ... Anyone hear?

(The pain in his neck was so bad at one point, that pinched nerve in his upper vertebrae was preventing him from holding his drumsticks.)

 

[alexpnz]

Noel Gallagher :bowdown:

Justin Timberlake

Queen of Soul Aretha Franklin is suffering from pancreatic cancer

It is the only major cancer with a prognosis in the single digits, and those diagnosed with pancreatic cancer have a 5 percent chance of living five years, said Dr. Diane Simeone, director of the multidisciplinary Pancreatic Tumor Clinic at the University of Michigan. Of those, 85 percent are not candidates for surgery and must undergo treatments which are not curative.

"It has the worst prognosis of any major human malignancy," Simeone said. "It is the most dreaded cancer to get."

Bill Joel is the greatest living music legend.

 

[CunningStunts]

Jimmy Page. :bowdown:

From this list, I'll say Clapton.

 

[josesentme]

Bill Joel is the greatest living music legend.

I agree. Billy Joel

I'm from Long Island and play the piano...so what else would you expect?

 

[funkipman]

Jimmy Page. :bowdown:

From this list, I'll say Clapton.

Repped.... and those beatles fellas were ok too. I think it was Ozzy that said they had to have talent to go from boy band to acid rockers and always stay relevant.
