Whos is the Greatest Living Rock Star On The Planet ?
After Kanye West declared himself the above and I declined from temptation to launch something at the TV, it begs the question, who is the greatest living rock star on the planet.
A lot of the stars held high in esteem are dead, so who do we reckon ?

Re: Whos is the Greatest Living Rock Star On The Planet ?
Dave Grohl has to be high on the list for me.
However, could easily see someone like Slash, Billie Joe Armstrong or Bruce Dickinson being high up there.

Jeez Ashers, they're almost as bad as Kayne West*
I'd agree with Bowie but honourable mentions for McCartney, Plant, Daltrey, Townsend, Jagger, Page, Richards.
*amused me that 'Kayne' was trending on Twitter during his embarrassing performance.

Ozzy Osbourne
Keith Richards
Jim Morrison
I'd place Kayne West several places below Orvile the Duck and St Winifreds School Choir.

After all, he influenced a hell of a lot of people - Stones, Beatles etc.

Probably my definition of Rock and Roll, only Berry would fit, not sure if he was better than Little Richard or Jerry Lee come to that, granted not seen Stones for many years, but when they came to fame it was playing R and B, they may well be iconic in a music genre, names mentioned but Rock and Rollers they are not.
