Really? I've read every major book written about the man. I have just completed reading Stephen (Hammer Of The Gods) Davis' excellent book about him. Never once have I ever heard him referred to as The Lounge Lizard.

You learn something new every day.

Here's Johnny Allen for you guys... aka JH

Best front man I ever saw was Pete Murphy 1978-80. Incredible stage presence, but it really did lend itself to the smaller venue. Would never have worked in larger venues.

5 here, wonder if you could figure them out. Nice in fact excellent list, all would be in my top twenty except two guy I really dont know by name, but I am sure by music.

For me as a west coast yank of the older persusion I would have to put Jackson Brown in there.

Not the greatest but one killer show.



Or as a pirate and a sea lover. Again for the show. Still rocking and bald as can be, plus one hell of a businessman.

No but screw parameters.

JJ, Baba O'Riley is in my head all the time because of mine and the families love of CSI NY, great theme song for the show.

Have you read the book by I believe the Doors drummer John Densmore Bob?

And I also believe the term "Lounge Lizard" was brought about by a movie made around the time called Morrison's Lounge, but I could be wrong.

First sensible post you have made Bob. 55555

Jack Bruce must get a mention as a great vocalist especially with another great vocalist in the band.

Tom

For all the heat hidden, here's my smoke to water down most>>>>

They were here recently at the Heineken Music Hall (but YT vid is of one in Canada) in Amsterdam.

Well not a great voice technically but a great front man and song writer and the driving force behind one of the few great bans over the last 20 odd years.

Nobody mentioned Bob Dylan yet surprisingly. Before my time but a revolutionary artist...great guitar strumming camp fire music.

^ An American folk singer. He don't count.
