Bon Jovi better than David Bowie?! Give me a fucking break!

What about Jim Morrison, Jimmy Page,Daltrey? They are way better than Bon Jovi...
~ by Mike 1/8/2009
David Bowie only one worse than Bon Jovi, that's ridiculous. They should make Bowie #5, and amend the rest of the list to 11 just out of principle.

Page, Plant, Bonham, Blackmore, Townshend, Daltrey, Morrison, Springsteen and several others ALL trump over half the "gods" on that weak, useless list.

david bowie would be at the top of the list if freddy would not have died.

- Agreed, dead people are always over eulogised!

For the love of God would you people please get over Kurt Cobain... He was terrible, and no one would even know who he was if that worthless wife had not killed him.
