Strung Out
If we were to send a time capsule and wanted the universe to have a basic idea of how it's done, who is THE man?
THE voice of Rock and Roll...

That's a toughy... I could hardly decide.. Goin gsolely on voice there's no clear winner.. If I wanted to show them how to rock.. I would most likely send Jimi.. He knew how to live the lifestyle.. Jim Morrison was too sexy to send away..
Freddie Mercury would just confuse them, I think he was too androgenous. That would be like sending RuPaul to teach carpenters how to model clothes.. Yeah, he can do it well, but it just ain't right!!

See if I'm happy for your next achievement!!

ELVIS!!
"As the snow flies
On a cold and gray Chicago mornin'
A poor little baby child is born
In the ghetto
And his mama cries
'cause if there's one thing that she don't need
it's another hungry mouth to feed
In the ghetto"
The first time I heard that song I cried.. His voice was like going to church, it filled you with a calm and it made you feel like you had to listen to what he sang.. I grew up on Elvis and Kenny Rogers, and having been born in TN and "growed" up in KY, loving Elvis is like needing oxygen..

I should have left...
...a write in but Dylan, to me, is so many things but not definitively 'rock and roll'.
jazz lady said:Too bad you couldn't vote for Bruce 3 times, huh?
I was surprised Bob Dylan wasn't on your list, Larry, but maybe he's too "out there."
I voted for three, but to me Elvis wins hands down. There is no comparison.

, but I don't know if he can be labelled "rock 'n roll", can he?
THE rock and roll voice is Chuck Berry. End of story.

Elvis: Return to Sender
I gave a letter to the postman,
He put it his sack.
Bright in early next morning,
He brought my letter back.
She wrote upon it:
Return to sender, address unknown.
No such number, no such zone.
We had a quarrel, a lover’s spat
I write I’m sorry but my letter keeps coming back.
So then I dropped it in the mailbox
And sent it special d.
Bright in early next morning
It came right back to me.
She wrote upon it:
Return to sender, address unknown.
No such person, no such so.
This time I’m gonna take it myself
And put it right in her hand.
And if it comes back the very next day
Then I’ll understand - the writing on it

Rock is different than rock and roll which is different than pop. So I chose one from each sub-genre:
Robert Plant (rock - without a doubt)
John Fogarty (pop - although that pains me to put them in that category because CCR is God)
Elvis (rock and roll - although Chuck Berry and even Jerry Lee Lewis would be better choices)

I see the need here...
...for sub categories.
We shall thus have a #1 based on winning ones bracket.
