Skvor & Luke asked me to vote on their behalf for Ryan Adams. Wow...I like the guy's music, but I certainly wouldn't vote him as America's Greatest Rocker. I guess it because I'm not gay? We'll never know. LMAO Layla! |

I'm pretty sure that Riley is giving his number one spot to John Oates, but I'm not positive. It might go to Geddy Lee.  |

What about Janis Joplin? I noticed yesterday no one included any women, so Janis is making my cut.

Bob Dylan's Qualifications as America's Greatest Rocker: 3. Live 1966 and Live 1975. Rock and roll shows just don't get much better than these two. Ahem, I think you forgot one:  Arguably the greatest live album ever made. |

Ahem, I think you forgot one: Arguably the greatest live album ever made. Don't know if it can qualify as the "greatest live album ever made" but it was a mighty fine show and probably the last time (with the exception of the Rolling Thunder Revue) Dylan voice was in top shape ... And The Band was just smokin' !! |

Well, I did say "arguably."

I don't like Before the Flood. The Band's numbers are serviceable, and sometimes more, but Bob's tunes are at best "meh" IMHO.
I give Bob credit for making two of the best live records in rock, but he has also released at least three really awful ones (Live at Budokan, Before the Flood, and Real Live). As most of you know, Dylan's Live at Budokan is perhaps the worst live record I've ever heard.

Jim Morrison The answer is so clearly Lou Reed that it's not even worth discussing. I'm submitting a motion that anyone who nominates Jim Morrison be banned immediately. |

how can you look the other way when all correspondence is via cyberspace?........and yes Paul, I have loved the Doors since the summer of 67 and when I am milliseconds from my timely demise I will continue to herald the shamanisic-spirit of the Lizard King Mojo Risin Paul - Bowiglou loves the Doors. Bowiglou took too many drugs in San Diego in the seventies. We just kind of look the other way when he starts blathering about his inner shaman. ... |

I really like Strange Days and LA Woman (the albums); they make for fun listens IMO. Those albums have some really good lost gems on them like: You're Lost Little Girl, Texas Radio, My Eyes Have Seen You, and Hyacinth House. |

I'm hoping Jimi is in the top 5. Even if you don't like him for some odd and unexplainable reason, you gotta admit he took rock to the next level....He built on Chuck Berry's foundation and took it to places people today still can't reach! His imagination and creativity, and his efortless flow are rivaled by no one else.
