@@coolavictor12 2 great songwriters.. But Lennon was by far more charismatic.. as Mercury who should be number 1 to me... Rock star is to be a great songwriter and to be "rock n roll"/charismatic... Mercury, Lennon and Morrison would be the best top 3 for me:)
@@CalebthegiganticMariofan I disagree. Paul created a prototype. But the person who invented the identity of metal and took the name of metal to the world was Tony

He ain’t one of The Godfathers, he IS The Godfather of heavy metal and I do agree he should’ve been higher up on the list, somewhere in the 40s or maybe even 30s.

Elvis is naturally the #1 individual; it seems impossible for him to ever be surpassed by any solo act. Thanks for giving Buddy Holly the respect he deserves. Without Buddy, musicians would not have been allowed to write or arrange their own material. This was vital for the expansion and growth of rock music.
Elvis Presley ( the Man with the Pretty Enchanting Eyes 👀 and the Unique Style Voice . He was Quite Stellar Level Status / Phenomenal . In Various Levels in fact . Musician and a Outstanding, Singer and Performer . He , covered , Rocking Roll , Country and ( Gospel ) And was a Actor as Well . That’s Golden Status . ⭐️👑💎🌹❤️😊
@@andrewellaway9476 Both of those great performers would have given homage to Elvis as "The King". Both [as songwriters] were undoubtedly aware of the trail that Buddy had blazed for them.
@@lisaanderson6920 On the other hand, many think Elvis was cornball. His best songs are Suspicion (done up better by Terry Stafford) and Kentucky Rain and Marie's the Name of his Latest Flame (Del Shannon who I like a LOT more wasn't up to singing that song like Elvis). But sure at the time Elvis was all rock had along with Chuck Berry and the Everly Brothers and doo wop was good.
I'm so happy my grunge idols were on here I just wish Eddie, Layne and Chris were higher. Also I was surprised Joan Jett and Joe Perry weren't on this list.

That’s honestly not true on todays standards. Considering how much different rock has been “recently”, rock stars aren’t trying to be like Elvis. Not denying the incredible influence that Elvis had though.
Thom yorke is not even a "rock star" if anything i think jonny greenwood is more rock n roll than him. Although i don't like radiohead i know that jonny is the one who elevates the sound of radiohead
Nice I see you are a radiohead fan , but I got to ask why Thom ? I mean no hate on him I absolutely loves his stuff . Hmm I guess its yar taste and opinion 😎😇😊
Slash ha hecho, lo que muy pocos guitarristas que es salir 100% de la sombra de su frontman. Ósea slash sin problema puede trabajar con cualquier artista y brilla por si solo. Por ejemplo amo a Bon Jovi y Aerosmith pero aunque Joe Perry y Richie son muy buenos pero 0:02 no funcionan sin Steven Tyler o Jon Bon Jovi. Slash tiene una identidad muy propia como guitarrista no depende su éxito de Guns N Roses o de Axel Rose. Ósea muy much mas fan de Bon Jovi y Aerosmith conozco mucho más canciones de estas 2 bandas que de Guns N roses pero el solo de slash en sweet child of mine destaca.
Nick Mason ❤️ Roger Taylor ❤️ Syd Barrett ❤️ Jeff Lynne ❤️ Ringo Starr❤️ Liam Gallagher❤️❤️ Rivers Cuomo❤️ Brian May❤️ Slash❤️ Dave Grohl❤️ Thom Yorke ❤️❤️❤️the best Roger Waters love your music but you’re a weird person xD Bono❤️ George Harrison❤️ Stevie Nicks❤️❤️ David Gilmour❤️❤️ Kurt Cobain❤️❤️ Freddie Mercury❤️❤️ John Lennon❤️❤️ Paul McCartney❤️❤️ Elvis ❤️❤️🔥

My list: .10)little Richard .9) Kurt cobain .8) ozzy osbourne .7) Freddie Mercury .6) Paul McCartney .5) mick jagger .4) Bob Dylan .3) Elvis .2) Chuck Berry .1) John Lennon
Love the fact that all 4 Beatles found their way onto this list, although Ringo should have been higher (higher than George, although George was my favorite), and Geddy and Neil made it from Rush, whereas Alex Lifeson did not...and I think it's because he is so thoroughly humble and unassuming that you wouldn't know he's a rock star--even when he's on stage!!! I'm also amazed that many people made this list that I've honestly never heard of...
Nah George definitely should be higher he was a much better songwriter his guitar playing was genius and amazing and he actually tried contributing to the band possibly as much as John and Paul And he had a better voice Ringo only write 2 songs while George wrote a lot even if many got rejected

And the stubborn ones will never miss, I have heard of some of these artists who are in this video, saying that the appearance of Elvis was one of the best things that has happened in the history of rock n roll, they being children, other adolescents, but Elvis was always there to influence them all, you look for this and you will be surprised by all the singers and instrument players who have mentioned that Elvis was like the Messiah of rock, he appeared to save it when literally the genre was going down or better said when some rockers had to leave for a long time for problems
@@gabaduran3333 I know he inspired Freddie in a way . But I got to say with live performance and stuff considered together Freddie definitely deserves no 1 spot . His instrument is the audience thats what makes him great and his super good singing . So yeah thats just my opinion, no intention of starting a war here . 😇
Freddie should be on number 1. He was inspired by Elvis, yes. But you know one thing: Freddie is a ROCKSTAR. The way he PERFORMED was amazing!! He was at his best whenever Queen toured live!!
@@oppothumbs1 Everyone has an opinion. John's first solo album Plastic Ono Band is, in my opinion the best Beatle solo album; Imagine is also excellent.
@@olavirannisto3552 I don't know his solo albums, just like Working Class Hero, Instant Karma, Jealous Guy (maybe done better by Brian Ferry), #9 Dream, Beautiful Boy, God and a few other.
Mistake: The one pictured at 38 is actually Malcolm Young, rhythm guitarist, who was the actual leader of AC/DC until he retired from the band and died a few years later (Lead guitarist Angus Young was his younger brother). Brian Johnson was the lead singer after Bon Scott died.

Freddie Mercury at 5th should have been at least at 2
No he should of been lower than 5. Queen are way too overated
@@Luke-1296 fr i agree yeah they make good music but theyre overrated
@@Footystreamslive yeah definitely
@@Footystreamslive fortnite kid
They're not overrated they have overrated songs but so many unknown amazing songs. 👑🎵🎶
freddie mercury wasn’t a rockstar, he was a legand
Very true
So was Elvis, John Lennon, Kirk Cobain, David Bowie, Jim Morrison etc.
Brian jones and ray Manzarek are so underrated
It is absolutely criminal Mark Knopfler don’t get mentioned at all!!!!!
Not even Scotty Moore, Elvis original guitarplayer is mentioned in this!!!!WTF???!!!
my favorites:
#96 Layne Staley
#86 Nikki Sixx
#81 Anthony Kiedis
#75 Bon Scott
#51 Slash
#47 James Hetfield
#38 Brian Johnson
#34 Angus Young
#22 Elton John
#21 Phil Collins
#17 Axl Rose
#11 Ozzy Osbourne
Who Should Have Been Included:
Ronnie James Dio (Dio)
George Lynch (Dokken)
Dave Mustaine (Megadeth)
Mick Mars (Mötley Crüe)
Philip Anselmo (Pantera)
Bret Michaels (Poison)
Sebastian Bach (Skid Row)
Miljenko Matijevic (Steelheart)
Jani Lane (Warrant)
Don't forget Dolores
The 38 is Malcom
Elvis Presley is the definition of a Rockstar...all others after him tried to copy him.
That’s honestly not true on todays standards. Considering how much different rock has been “recently”, rock stars aren’t trying to be like Elvis. Not denying the incredible influence that Elvis had though.
my top 5:
5. Thom Yorke
4. David Bowie
3. Lou Reed
2. Brian Wilson
1. Frank Zappa
Yorke sucks
Yorke rules
Thom yorke is not even a "rock star" if anything i think jonny greenwood is more rock n roll than him. Although i don't like radiohead i know that jonny is the one who elevates the sound of radiohead
I love your list
Nice I see you are a radiohead fan , but I got to ask why Thom ? I mean no hate on him I absolutely loves his stuff . Hmm I guess its yar taste and opinion 😎😇😊
No soy fan de Guns and Roses pero Slash es tan icónico que a mí parecer debió estar más alto.
Slash más alto que Brian may ajajaj
Slash ha hecho, lo que muy pocos guitarristas que es salir 100% de la sombra de su frontman. Ósea slash sin problema puede trabajar con cualquier artista y brilla por si solo.
Por ejemplo amo a Bon Jovi y Aerosmith pero aunque Joe Perry y Richie son muy buenos pero 0:02 no funcionan sin Steven Tyler o Jon Bon Jovi. Slash tiene una identidad muy propia como guitarrista no depende su éxito de Guns N Roses o de Axel Rose.
Ósea muy much mas fan de Bon Jovi y Aerosmith conozco mucho más canciones de estas 2 bandas que de Guns N roses pero el solo de slash en sweet child of mine destaca.
chris cornell should be higher, he has one of the best voices and was in three great bands
Same with Layne Staley... Him being at 96 is criminal
Missing Peter Gabriel 😢
I enjoy your videos 😊, keep going 🙂✌️🎉

5. Oli Skyes (BMTH)

3. Chris Cornell (Soundgarden and Audioslave)
2. Ann Wilson (Heart)
1. Robert Plant (Zeppelin)
I feel like Arthur Brown, John Lord, Joe Elliot, Rick Savage, Geezer Butler, Bill Ward, John Paul Jones, Phil Taylor, and Eddie Clarke deserve to be on this list, along with many others. Then again, there are a whole lotta rock stars.
Bob seger too
My list:

Freddie Mercury at 7?
@@goldbrickstudios6903 yes.
Great list, though I would suggest adding Robert Fripp, Tina Turner, and Randy Rhoads
Paul McCartney is my number 1
There will never be anyone like Bowie
and I thanks god for that, Bowie was a shitty artist, a shitty singer, a shitty musician, a shitty writer and a really shitty person
Me
1. Kurt Cobain
2. Elvis Presley
3. Anthony kiedis
No Freddie Mercury??
Led zeppelin forever
Mick jagger > kurt cobain
Robert Plant being 19 is wild
Ringo Starr, Anthony Kiedis y Ginger Baker están re lejos😞
I agreed with most of these but I think Flea deserved a spot
Freddie Mercury WASN'T a rock star, he's a legend...
Love the fact that all 4 Beatles found their way onto this list, although Ringo should have been higher (higher than George, although George was my favorite), and Geddy and Neil made it from Rush, whereas Alex Lifeson did not...and I think it's because he is so thoroughly humble and unassuming that you wouldn't know he's a rock star--even when he's on stage!!!
I'm also amazed that many people made this list that I've honestly never heard of...
Nah
George definitely should be higher he was a much better songwriter his guitar playing was genius and amazing and he actually tried contributing to the band possibly as much as John and Paul
And he had a better voice
Ringo only write 2 songs while George wrote a lot even if many got rejected
Keith Richards at 42 is mutiny
Ringo Starr underrated
The Beatles are overrated

Wtf top 30
6:16 XD? That's Malcom
Where was Prince?
My top 3
1, Chester Bennington
2, John Lennon
3, Freddie Mercury
Seriously? Elvis first?
For me
I mean, love him or hate him, hes elvis
I mean, he's the most commercially successful solo artist of all time
Okok, sorry I’m not a Elvis fan, i was surprised
@@massimilianomiotto5067 dont worry, i hate elvis too
Brother placed Brian May ahead of Keith Moon and John Bonham.😂
The list accordingly: Keith Fkin Richards should be no.1 followed closely by Jim morrison, Robert Johnson,Elvis Presley,Johnny Cash, Robert plant + jimmy page,pete Townshend, Janis Joplin,Jimi Hendrix,Sid Vicious + johnny rotten,David Bowie,Lou Reed,the Fab Four,entire Black Sabbath members with Ozzy,Mick Jagger+Freddie Mercury,Sreamin Jay Hawkins,Alice Cooper Dave Mustaine ,Ronnie James Dio,Eddie Van Halen,Robert Smith, Lemmy, Little Richard Rob Halford,original Motley Crue members, Steven Tyler, Layne Staley +jerry cantrell, Cobain, Kiss,Ritchie Blackmore, Joey Ramone , Bob Marley,Syd Barret,Geddy lee, Stevie Knicks + Joan jett,Phik Anselmo+ Dimebag , Trent Reznor,Mike Patton, Chris Cornell, Scott weiland,Henry Rollins , Travis Barker, Roger Waters , James Brown , Stevie Ray,Ian Curtis, Alexi Laiho , Liam Gallagher, Eddie Vedder ,Mark Knopfler , Anthony kiedis+Flea, Bono + the Edge, BBKing,Neil young, GGAlin,Gavin Rosdale, Jonathan Davis, Chester Bennington etc

My top 3:
3.Paul Mcartney
2.axl rose
1.kurt cobain
Keith Richards should be at least in the top 20
Brian Jones should’ve been higher than Mick Jagger
Kevin Parker is the one of the most appealing modern day rock artists, he deserves to be at least top 40
Honorable Mentions:
Micky Dolenz
Dave Clark
Sly Stone
Debbie Harry
George Clinton
MY top 5 :
5) Liam Gallagher
4) Paul McCartney
3) Kurt Cobain
2) David Gilmour
1) Thom Yorke
Liam Gallagher is the real definition of a Rockstar I don’t know why he don’t get higher on the list
And the stubborn ones will never miss, I have heard of some of these artists who are in this video, saying that the appearance of Elvis was one of the best things that has happened in the history of rock n roll, they being children, other adolescents, but Elvis was always there to influence them all, you look for this and you will be surprised by all the singers and instrument players who have mentioned that Elvis was like the Messiah of rock, he appeared to save it when literally the genre was going down or better said when some rockers had to leave for a long time for problems
Brian Wilson, soo underrated, should be in top10
Glad I saw Layne Staley on the list❤️🔥
WHERE IS MARK KNOPFLER
Freddie Mercury should be in first or second position at least!
Second, everyone on this list was inspired by Elvis
No, I actually think he is at the right spot
Maybe shoudnt be in top
10 to be honest
@@gabaduran3333 I know he inspired Freddie in a way . But I got to say with live performance and stuff considered together Freddie definitely deserves no 1 spot . His instrument is the audience thats what makes him great and his super good singing . So yeah thats just my opinion, no intention of starting a war here . 😇
Freddie should be on number 1. He was inspired by Elvis, yes. But you know one thing: Freddie is a ROCKSTAR. The way he PERFORMED was amazing!! He was at his best whenever Queen toured live!!
nice list
- #1: John Lennon
- Robert Plant top-10
- Neil Young top-15
- missing Peter Gabriel, David Byrne, Carlos Santana.
Alright, a vote for Neil. If John had died before his solo career and if not for his bad last album - Double Fantasy, he might be 1.
@@oppothumbs1 Everyone has an opinion. John's first solo album Plastic Ono Band is, in my opinion the best Beatle solo album; Imagine is also excellent.
@@olavirannisto3552 I don't know his solo albums, just like Working Class Hero, Instant Karma, Jealous Guy (maybe done better by Brian Ferry), #9 Dream, Beautiful Boy, God and a few other.
Where is my Cutie John Richard Deacon?
8:53 my number one 🙏
Great list and artists👏
Mistake: The one pictured at 38 is actually Malcolm Young, rhythm guitarist, who was the actual leader of AC/DC until he retired from the band and died a few years later (Lead guitarist Angus Young was his younger brother). Brian Johnson was the lead singer after Bon Scott died.
Can someone tell me why is Bob Dylan over Lennon and McCartney?
And how is Keith Richards not next to Mick they were a team and both very influential
1- Elvis
2- McCartney
3-jimmy page
4-Freddie mercury
5-robert plant/ kurt cobain
My No.1 is Paul McCartney and John Lennon.
Lennon is top 10. Paul is top 1000. Both were only top 500 solo.
