    We can agree on Bono. I just never got U2. Everyone preaches Joshua Tree to me like it is gospel, but I don't see why it is such a great album. It sounds like every other 80's album to me.

    I abhor "Joshua Tree." Every single song sounds the same to me, and people speak of Bono like he's God (or Tebow.) I actually don't mind some of their newer stuff, though.

    I just don't know about Bono. I don't like his music, but what grates me about him is his off-stage work. I know he does a lot of great charity work, but what gets me is when he trumpets it to the world and everyone tells him how great he is for it. It all seems disingenuous and kinda shady. That South Park episode about him was good.

    But to keep on topic... what about Axl Rose? Great performer and singer in GNR's heyday.

    Yep, that's how I feel about him, too. Everyone gushed over his Super Bowl performance after 9/11 where all the names of the victims were scrolled across a screen, but that, too, seemed disingenuous to me.

    Red, I had Elton John in my top 5 and pulled him. I actually don't have much of a problem with that.

    Tina Turner is every bit a rocker and a great one.

    It's a slippery slope. I don't want the addition of Elton John to lead to Johnny Mathis. lol

    I adjusted my list to include Sir Elton.

    Nice list, btw.
