If you could be any 70's era rock star (in the 70's) who would it be?

[Taverner]

Come on...I know someone out there wanted to be Donny Osmond...;)

1. WPOD, man

:toast:

[Taverner]

4. And what do YOU want from life?

An airtight alabi?
A mexican divorce?
A kama sutra gold coffee pot?
Or...a baby's arm holding an apple?

[Wickerman]

2. Neil Young or Willie Nelson

Both are still pretty cool today. So, you could be cool in the 70's and still live with yourself today.

3. What kind of poll about 70s rock stars would include

Fee Waybill and not Bruce Springsteen? Puhleeze.

[Taverner]

5. Ahhh but Fee was the MAN

And Bruce, I dunno, just didn't come to mind when I thought "70's"

[trogdor]

6. Rick Wakeman of Yes.

Hair down to my ass and keyboards stacked to the sky!

[Taverner]

8. Ahhh but then you have to bore us all with "Journey...

"...to the center of the earth"

[seemunkee]

7. I'd rather be Johnny Rotten than Sid. The future is brighter

[emulatorloo]

9. Marc Bolan

With my hat in my hand
I'm a hungry man for you
I got stars in my beard
And I feel real weird for you

Beneath the bebop moon
I'm howling like a loon for you
Beneath the mumbo sun
I've got to be the one for you

[Taverner]

10. See I voted Peter Frampton because...

He gets ALL the girls
He smokes ALL the good 420
He puts out "Frampton Comes Alive"
and he gets to live to tell about it

However, if I was Peter Frampton, I would have passed on that whole "Sgt Pepper" movie. I mean, Alice Cooper's "Because" rocked, but the movie SUCKED to high heaven.

11. i don't care, so as long as i can have big hair

[Taverner]

12. So you can come back as Bootsy Collins?

[crimson333]

13. Anyone in KISS

[Yupster]

14. Ian Anderson of Jethro Tull

I think I might would want to be him.

[MN ChimpH8R]

15. Jimmy Page

I considered a couple of the guys from Yes, but Page had it all - he was the co-centerpiece of the biggest band of the decade, a brilliant songwriter, orchestrator, performer and producer, had strange, appropriately rock-star interests, and thought nothing of sending a private plane to bring his 14-year-old model GF to a West Coast gig. :wow:

Living (and indulging) as you damned well please, creating great music that has stood the test of time and making zillions while being worshiped. If that ain't the essence of rock stardom I don't know what is.

[ET Awful]

16. You left off so many possibilities :) like . . .

David Bowie

David Gilmour

Any of the Ramones

and so on :)
