    In checking....wasn't Grohl actually second fiddle to Cobain in Nirvana?

    So, what was the status there....was it a Lennon/McCartney type collaboration....or was Grohl the George Harrison of that act.....not getting his own legs until he was on his own.

    (what I have heard of the Foo Fighters, I have generally liked).

    The fantastic Robert Zimmerman's name has yet to be mentioned.

    IMHO, he - at least - deserves among those nominated.

    He would turn heads, walking down the street - perhaps that is all we are talking about any way.

    No one mentioned Elton John who probably trumps most others

    See the very first post of this thread. I had him in the 5-10 range.

    No....he was basically Nirvanas drummer......but then became front man - singer - guitarist for the Foo Fighters who have had huge success.....so, he really deserves mad props for being in 2 massively huge bands....and being great at several roles as a drummer, guitarist, singer and writer....so.....Id say definitely an icon to many and bit of a legend in his own time.....

    Me bad. Too many posts and too much 'noise'.

    This might be the first time we ever agreed on anything, Gip!

    Keith Richards and Mick Jagger, if they haven't come up, should probably be in the conversation, along with Roger Daltrey.
