  1. That's just as many people, they just all move slower. Voice of experience.
  2. And at risk of derailing this thread further, great female artists most people have never heard of, if you watched the Black Oak Arkansas video you saw Ruby Starr. I 'discovered' her the way I found artists back in the 70's. Buy an album by looking at the cover and reading liner notes. She never really hit it big, but has a great voice.
  3. There are some who are also great guitar players who don't get much attention, but they're probably more known as "Blues". Susan Tedeschi, Samantha Fish and Orianthi.
  4. Female fronted rock bands seem to be very short lived for some reason. Can't even think of 1 that 'made it' for a decade. Eurythmics, Blondie, Joan Jett, Pat Benatar, just didn't stick around. The Pretenders with Chrissy Hinde probably the most successful, but who knows what would have happened if Janis Joplin had lived?
  5. No one, including me, cares what your feelings about me are. But keep making a fool out of yourself by telling us what they are after every post of mine (that you can see.)
  6. Also not mentioned yet is John Fogerty. Originally a 'front man'. Just a pure genius now. Still going strong.
  7. Sure I can. But if I had to make a choice, I'd put Sammy in front. He's done a lot more than his time in Van Halen. And I always thought DLR was attempting to be Jim Dandy. I never really cared for Van Halen with either singer. I thought their music was "forced". I did love Sammy's Montrose stuff, and Chickenfoot has some great songs. And who can argue with great tequila? I will tend to agree with the initial post, though, Jagger has to be number 1, anyone else is just a matter of personal preference.
  8. Some others that haven't been mentioned yet: Ronnie James Dio, David Lee Roth, Sammy Hagar
  9. John Kay gets my vote. I'm definitely biased. John Kay (born Joachim Fritz Krauledat, 12 April 1944). Kay was born in Tilsit, East Prussia, Germany (now Sovetsk, Kaliningrad Oblast, Russia).[1] His father Fritz, born 13 June 1913 in Absteinen (Opstainys in Pagėgiai Municipality), near Pleskau[4] was killed a month[5] before Kay was born. In early 1945, his mother fled with him from the advancing Soviet troops during the Evacuation of East Prussia in harsh winter conditions. Their train got stuck near Arnstadt, which was first occupied by Americans, but then became part of the East German Soviet occupation zone. In 1949, they crossed the already fortified border to resettle in Hanover, West Germany (as recounted in his song "Renegade" on the album Steppenwolf 7). Now living in the British occupation zone, the young Joachim, who suffered from eye problems, listened to broadcasts by the British Forces Broadcasting Service, like the Uprising of 1953 in East Germany. He also saw a news reel about the Hungarian Revolution of 1956, shot and smuggled out by László Kovács of later Easy Rider fame. Kay and his family moved to Toronto in 1958. Five years later, they moved to Buffalo, New York.
  10. Just because I post a meme doesn't mean I believe it or support what it says. That's something my grandma would think. Old people don't understand the internet, you fit right into that category whether you're old or not. Stop being such a douche.
  11. I didn't create the meme. I found it on Facebook. Same place you get your data.
