How so?, you don't think theres a way to define greatness other than by preference?, if so you would be poorly misinformed, my list isn't based on my preference or favorites, if it was Elvis wouldn't even be top 20, Brandon boyd would certainly not be below some of the people above him and yes dammit i would have robert plant above little richard, i based by list on a certain criteria, which was based explained by Urban and Rain dog on the first page, if you judge great frontman by Influence, Impact, Importance, Innovation, Their on stage talent, Charasma, Electricity, Character, Presence, etc, then Little Richard easly deserves to be above Robert Plant, that isn't my opinion, thats just the way it is.

I have never been accused of being a racist in my life,dude you don't know me from adam's house cat and i have to explain myself to you. how about FU*K YOU. there's your explanation bi*ch. i can get a group of guys and be a pioneer of pissing off the St.Louis arch, it doesn't mean i'm the best at it and it doesn't give me a hall pass to be considerd in the top 10. rock n' roll like this thread evolves. realize that. because most consider led zeppelin to be overrated are just haters. you wanna change their legendary status? get in a band and make it happen you fuc*ing crybaby.

Im a crybaby?, you are the one whining and throwing lame insults around just because your hero isn't getting a hell of a lot more credit than he deserves, i know for a fact that Led Zeppelin is overrated, and they are one of my top 5 favorite bands, if you want me to get specifc on your ass then this is how i break it down by the criteria.

Impact - Little Richard, Plant may be in one of the biggest bands in the world, it dosent mean he takes impact, he dosent even deserve the most credit for Zeps sucess, that obviously goes to Page, like Urban said, richard broke racial bariers, helped innovate a little thing called rock n roll and set a whole new level for on stage performance.

Influence - Little Richard, Plant himself is influenced by him, where else do you think he got those screetching, oversexed falseto vocals from?

Innovation - Little Richard, What?, helping create rock n roll isn't innovation enough?

Importance - Little Richard, if he had never existed, it would have made a lot more of a difference than Plant never existing.

Overall Onstage Talent - Little Richard, better as both a singer and a overall performer, could tear that piano up in the meantime which is a bonus, Plant reached his peak onstage in the really early 70s, his vocals however has been shot to death since 76.

Charasma - Little Richard
Electricity - Little Richard
Character - Little Richard
Presence - Tie(im being generous today)

I crown little richard the victor, now...

Bob Dylan left school and the reason he wrote down in their yearbook was: "To follow Little Richard..."

Well lets see how this whole thing started, oh yeah, it started because you attacked my list and said it sucked and was a disgrace to rock n roll, and i considered that a insult directed towards me because that wasn't just some random list i made for the hell of it, i actualy put some thought into it, wheres your list buddy?, i haven't even been that agressive with you, i point out the stupid crap you say and try to remain civil on the matter, i haven't been calling you by any harsh insults, but you didn't hesitate to say **** you to me despite how uncalled for that would be now did you?, and saying Little Richard wasn't a pioneer of rock n roll is in itself a insult to little richard and rock n roll.

PS.And if you still doubt my devotion to all things Zeppelin, just look at my location. =)

The reason i didn't add cash is because its a rock list and i consider cash country, though cash has also been classified as a rock n roll artist so he possibly could qualify, i will also consider the others you mentioned, anyone else you think i should add?
