David Bowie - The innovator and true rock n' roll chameleon is truly one of the most influential musicians of contemporary times who has consistently strove to reinvent both his music and image. Although he's had the odd dodgy moment ('Tin Machine' for one), his musical legacy with classic albums like Low, Hunky Dory and Ziggy Stardust to name but a few is almost unrivalled. He refused a CBE in 2000 and a knighthood in 2003, so the likelihood of him ever becoming a Sir is zero. Respect to Mr Bowie.

- Brian May should be added in there. And Freddie Mercury even though he's dead.
- Ray Davies should be knighted. He is already CBE but stands out above all of the people mentioned in this article as a consistently brilliant songwriter.
- all this worry about knighthoods!!Sir Paul Mcartney,Sir Elton John...............Come on! I am a Yank in Kentucky for all ****s sake! I KNOW who deserves the queens honor... people like Ray Davies (first because he NEVER EVER sold out of being ENGLISH) and what a ****in' talent,Eh?? Second would be Roger&David from Floyd,then Pete and Roger, then all the GREAT NEW STUFF like Blur
- AHAHAHA
morrissey

i think the queen is dead pissed on any chance of a knighthood
- I think Johnny Rotten should be knighted, he should accept it and do a scandal at the ceremony.
