Lea Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 (edited) Ya know personally, Mick Jagger is not one of my most favorite rockers. But even I know a master when I see one. He defiantly deserves to be in the #1 spot Good write up Lucky Edited July 22, 2009 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawna Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 This wasn't meant as a slam on Daltrey... just commenting that even he himself admitted his lack of.... charisma?... in the earlier days. Hell, when I discovered him in 7th grade through "Tommy" the movie, I was in love. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 I understand what you are saying , Shawna , and agree with you .Daltry is a bit tricky . I think that on stage ( or film ) , he takes the lead and plays frontman except for Townsend solos . However , he is modest and realistic enough ,offstage , to step aside and let Pete become the authoritative voice of The Who . Even the press seems to follow along with this formula .

The Seeker Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 Well yes, Roger Daltrey himself said that he only found himself through Tommy really, but the Who didn't stop after Tommy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miamisammy29 Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 Expect David Lee's to be somewhat shorter. David Lee Roth was the lead singer of Van Halen (1978-1985). May he rest in peace. How's that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucky Posted July 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2009 David Lee Roth / Van Halen Van Halen is one of the most successful rock & roll bands in hstory. And although he isn't the only artist to front the band, David Lee Roth is one of the major elements of that success. For two reasons, in my opinion. First, he has an amazing stage presence (although one that caused huge friction with bandleader Eddie Van Halen), and timing. The timing thing is probably most important. Van Halens' biggest successes can probably be tied directly to MTV, with Roth as the man out front. I think that the wide exposure and popularity of Van Halen via the music video is the biggest reason for the bands' popularity. Eddies guitar, and Roth's onstage persona & antics, bith highlighted on MTV made them one of the 80's most popular & commercial acts. Although both the band and Roth remained active and fairly successful after Roth's initial 1985 departure, neither has garnered the success of the early 1974-1985 ride, to the extent that for the long awaited 2007 reunion, it was Roth back in gear, singing and fronting the band.

Lucky Posted July 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 If anyone would like to choose the picture used for the blog for the bit on your artist, let myself or farin know. Laurie submitted her's, and there's no reason that if anyone else has one they shouldn't as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucky Posted August 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 Who picked the picture of Roger Daltrey? Nice! Me.

miamisammy29 Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 Please stop apologizing for David Lee Roth. People have had to do that for him for his entire life, and, frankly, he's sick of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
