None - heroes are people who rescue people from burning buildings and the like, not people who write pop songs. So stick that up ur pretentious ringpieces.

In that case I suppose the hero has to be that ginger fecker McGee.
He DID save the British music scene from a burning building... until Sony and the Gallaghers messed it all up.

got many but Paul Weller was the tops for me

John Lennon, because of his words i stopped buying beans with my fish and chips. As he said "all we are saying is give peas a chance".

I imagine during the 70's and 80's Bowie had $ex with just about every species going,  animal, vegetable and mineral.

And before you jump, I'm in no way condoning under age jiggery pokery.

But he is still a Musical Hero of yours?

In musical terms he did things that nobody had ever done before and influenced many other artists since, so yes.

Read through the rest of the list and tell me how many people named have lived a sin free life. We're talking rock stars for God's sake.

David Bowie, Luke Kelly, Ian Dury, Neil Young, Thom Yorke, Leslie Charles.

Bowie ?? ....didn't he have s*x with underage girls?

Apparently. Thought this thread was about musical heroes. Rocco is my sex hero fwiw.

Forte?

Angus Young
Jackie McClean
Roy Smeck

Currently Ray Davies and Andy Partridge for how they constructed songs and teaching me more about the guitar than any teacher.

Stipe for how he transformed himself from a shy mumbler to such a magnetic stage presence.

Kim Deal, just because she's cool as.

Mark and Prud from Bomb Disneyland. Happiest days of my life as a 16 year old moshing and stage diving at the Planet X, and these seemed to always be on. Still love their debut lp.

Mark and Lard. My John Peel. Both continue to introduce me to loads of great music.

Brian Jones
Jeff Lynne
George Harrison
Brian Setzer
