    And finally - somebody else gets my point on the Ramones...I know, I know. They were the greatest band that ever plugged in. I get it. Joey was the coolest front man on the planet too - he just oozed coolness.
    You should come down to Hell.... now that we have all 4 of the original Ramones here, they're headlining New Years Evil 2015!!

        Uh, no. I talk a lot of shit but I got no desire to ever see Hell. Besides, I'm down with JBC so I'll be checking out Heaven.

          # 1 : Jim
          # 2 : David

          That's about it, my opinion of course

            I agree with you, and I think it´s understandable because if I´m not wrong, that´s an australian poll. Jimmy Barnes is 7 above Jim Morrison, even Peter Garrett is 23.
            In my opinion it's even more remarkable that Dave is 17 by people's choice.

                Joe Strummer even makes the list (much less being #16)?

                  That ranking really sucks. Mixing Freddie Mercury, Mick Jagger and DLR with cold fish like the Smiths or Radiodickhead is like comparing the best vintage wines in the world with instant soup.

                          I've seen him twice with the Stooges, once in Alsace in August 2005 (in the middle of the Wine Festival), he was awesome: he sang one verse and one chorus of "Loose" and in the next second he was already diving in. Second time was in 2011 at the Paleo Festival near Geneva with James Williamson back on guitar after Ron Asheton's death, but it wasn't as wild as in Colmar, Alsace.
                          Anyway, I'd put him in the top 3 up there with Mercury and Dave.

                                The two go hand in hand.
