yourbiggestfan16 Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 Rockstar Poll! Who does everyone think is the biggest rockstar? Jim Morrison or Robert Plant? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey * Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 I've never tried to choose between the two of them. They're both #1 in my books. I supposed it would be Robert Plant for me only because I've watched him in concert more than Jim Morrison... so I'm kind of biased (sadly). How about you?

ledzepfvr Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 I don't see it as a very fair comparison as Jim Morrison's life was cut short in his prime. Had he lived to see out his full potential, then a comparison would be on an even playing field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badgeholder Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 Lizard King by a nose. The leather pants puts him over the top. But it's Jimmy who's the rock star Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ninelives Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 Hard to compare as their styles were so different IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DianaC Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 To me Robert Plant is THE rockstar... I like JM too, but RP voice gives me the chills every time I listen to LZ... Love it!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badgeholder Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 When you think about it, not many really qualify for that lofty moniker (rock star) I can only think of five or six before it starts to get fuzzy. I don't mean to hijack the thread, but my friend and I were just recently talking about this, how they don't make 'em like they used to. Once upon a time, there were ROCK STARS. People would try to copy, for example, how Jimmy Page would get into a limo! Jim Morrison. Jimi Hendrix. Keith Richards. David Bowie. Who are some others? One criteria, I think, is that they look comfortable in an outrageous get-up. They can't appear to be trying too hard. (This is why Hendrix rules!) I await your nominees. Or I can start a new thread, whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goldenguitar Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 Well, Freddie Mercury is the biggest rock star, it's so obvious!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badgeholder Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 Yes, Freddie definitely qualifies. RIP. What about Prince? Rod Stewart? See, it gets fuzzy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PlanetPage Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 Rockstar Poll! Who does everyone think is the biggest rockstar? Jim Morrison or Robert Plant? ...legends... The Biggest Rock Star, in Western World and supported by the Rest of the World is ELVIS PRESLEY, The King...... Michael Jackson is too among the legends, but the No. 1 Spot you have asked,belongs to the KING... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mangani Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 I don't see it as a very fair comparison as Jim Morrison's life was cut short in his prime. In his prime? No way. Morrison had already reached his prime and was on a downward spiral. Morrison died in 1971 not 1967. The Doors and Morrison had largely become irrelevant by the dawn of the 1970s.

planted Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 The Doors were fleeting. Zeppelin is forever. No question, Plant is the bigger star. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeppelincheetah Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 Jimmy Page > Robert Plant imo He was the architect of Led Zeppelin and imo the best guitarist ever. He's way more likable too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy's A Legend Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 Bit of a funny question to ask on a Zeppelin forum As someone has said, Jim died at such a young age and had some much potencial, so it's really hard to choose, as much as I love Zepp I just couldn't make that desition, they are both wonderful.

BIGDAN Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 Robert Plant. "Jim", as My Dear Old Nan would have said, "You should have kept it in you're Trousers Boy" just like Robert does, getting your "Dick Out" on Stage is just no way of Becoming a "Rock Star" is it? The Biggest "Cock Star", Now that would be "Hard" to Chose as i've only seen Jim's. Very Kind Regards, Danny and ROCK ON FOREVER my friend ROF ROF ROF HA HA HA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Doors and Morrison had largely become irrelevant by the dawn of the 1970s. Well in my 13 year old mind he was in his prime and I was heartbroken when he died. Oh sure, I had hear about some of the weird stuff that was going on but my skeptical mind or maybe denial didn't beleive the self destruction. I wasn't old enough for my parents to let me go to concerts to witness things for myself. No one will ever know what Jim may have accomplished had he survived the bottom of the downward spiral instead of becoming another statistic of self destructive rock stars.
