I'll tell why Doherty (who I've never heard anything by, btw) is #2: because he's in the news right now, and people have short-term memories. And they're stupid.

And yes I'm pissed that I'm not on the list :p

The top 4 are the biggest TWATS that ever walked the earth !

Joe Strummer # 13?

And where the fook is Joey Ramone?!?!?!?!

Good call from Comrade

Beats some of his other decisions anyway....

surprise, surprise. another list we can all disagree with. that may however be the point. create some controversy and get everybody to buy your rag.

how did they compile this list?

nme sucks and that list is shit

What about Micheal Stipe???

Was it actually entitled "heroes"? How were any of these guys "heroes"???? At least doesn't fit my definition.

the only real hero on the list, IMO. he pissed off berry gordy because he wanted to emphasize social change in his lyrics. and he has the best voice in the history of music. :)

I am left speechless...

How about Bob Marley also? He's not on the list, but he actually had alot to do with the revolution over there.

over where? jamaica?

How is KC the number-one hero, exactly?

Sure, he made some decent music. But he married Courtney Hole...taking one for the team, freeing the rest of mankind from having to be with her. Okay, I take it back: he was a hero.

Yeah, but he then killed himself, freeing her to the rest of mankind - heartless bugger!

Yes. At the time there was civil unrest there. I will correct myself as maybe it wasn't a full out civil war, but there was alot of bloodshed. Even he had an assaination attempt on his life. The civil unrest was also abit due to religon, and Marley was more or less leading the way with Rastafari.

jah mon

during the time michael manley was PM. not a civil war, but you're right, lots of civil unrest.

i agree. i'd put bob marley in the list, as well. and i'd place him very high! (pun intended)

Which is appropriate, as today (May 11th) is Bob Marley Day - a national holiday in some countries of the world!

agree with you on number two peter prick, but maybe you could take his place in the t--t stakes.

Axl Rose? A hero for spending 15 years telling everyone he`s gonna release the greatest album ever? tosser. And as for PD at 2,the NME should be ashamed of themselves for putting someone who openly acts like being a baghead is ok,and his music is fucking shite too!

how can Richie Edwards be a hero. only made a few albums, then drove off a cliff or something.

The NME are complete wankers. always said it.

no sign of Jaz Coleman in there either. true brit Punk legend, who's been doin it for 25 years. mainly coz he emptied a bucket of maggots over their reception desk one day, yonks ago.

sorry Chris, if its me Yahoo mail, hardly ever check it, and usually end up mass deleting a loada shite. will do lad, and i'll get back to you.

i don't like the last album mate. i think its the mix or something. prefer like the rawer edge and Geordies guitar on the 2003 record much better.

has Revelations been re-mastered yet? love that record.

I know they said they wanted it to be uncommercial, and I think they've done the job well.

cheers for Email. i'd vote for Jaz. warpainted up to fuck in the Commons. what a sight that would be, and with his vicar's outfit on.

Cuntney Love? Julian Casablancas? Paul McCartney? Who in their right mind made this list? Where are Peter Hook and Alan Wilder - if this is about musicial heros? A drunk, drugged up broad in smeared make up, screaming behind a mic does not count as a hero. And what has Julian Casablancas done? He has a crap voice, a crap band, and all of the hipsters seem to ape his wardrobe and hair. Paul McCartney is simply overrated; if you have to put a Beatle on the list, put either Lennon or George Harrison - at least they had some musican talent.

we all know that you are a lover of mr. wilder. but what, exactly, qualifies him as a musical 'hero'?

His keyboarding skills? The fact that if he didn't do the arrangements for Depeche Mode, they would still be Martin, Fletch, and Dave, producing throwaway pop songs? Without him, we probably wouldn't have Music for the Masses or Violator?

But, in reality, he has done more than Courtney Love and Julian Casablancas combined. A screaming cunt and a dirty hair puff shouldn't qualify as musical "heros" anyway.

Where's Mark E Smith?! :D

So... qucik summary... how many of those people killed themselves or are serious drug users? Why are they heroes?
