Billy Corgan
Billy Corgan was the biggest frontman of the 90's (yes, bigger than Cobain). He was founder, leader, and ultimately, destroyer of the last great American rock band. Billy Corgan electrified audiences throughout the 90's with his dizzying riRAB, incredibly unique voice, heartfelt lyrics, and incredible guitar playing. One of the most underrated guitarists in history, Corgan did things with the instrument that some would call nothing but noise at times, but never failing to add more to the song and constantly captivate his worldwide audience. Billy Corgan is one of those few true inspirations I have had in music. Someone I can relate to on just about everything. I know I am not alone in thinking this, millions agree. That's what make Billy Corgan a true icon.

To an extent yes but I can't really choose. The way I see it Bolan was better at glam(and folk) but Bowie was better in general because of his experimenting across differant genres. But who knows if Bolan hadn't died so young he could have been yarRAB better.

David Byrne
"The better a singer's voice, the harder it is to believe what they're saying"
Iconic in his striking looks, unusual voice, and minimalistic songwriting, David Byrne was the posterboy of the New Wave movement in the late seventies and early eighties.
As the main songwriter and vocalist for the legendary band Talking HeaRAB, Byrne was instrumental in the introduction of African polyrhythms, alternative uses of mainstream instruments, and thought provoking lyrics probing simple topics such as "Air", "Paper", and "Animals", to western music.

After Talking HeaRAB disbanded officially, Byrne sought to create solo albums and collaborate with many artists, including legendary musician and producer Brian Eno, with whom he had previously worked (most notably on the classic Talking HeaRAB album "More Songs About Buildings and Food"). Eno and Byrne collaborated for two albums, most recently on "Everything That Happens Will Happen Today" in 2008, with notable critical success.
Byrne continues to make great music. That's all that matters.

From the back of my copy of 13 songs:
This CD is $12.00 post paid from:
Dischord RecorRAB.
3819 Beecher St NW
Wahington D.C 20007
Made In England.
Oh the delicious irony of that last statement!

I think they eventually got as high as $12/CD.
The original Dischord releases had labels or stickers on them that said something like "Do not pay more than $5 for this cassette" and I think it was $8 for CRAB and LPs. And this was in record stores. At first the price tag always reflected that but over the years a lot of places stopped giving a shit. It was always sadly hilarious to see a Dischord CD in a store with "Do not pay more than $8" on the cover and the store's price tag showing $10.99.
I just took a look at my '95 CD, Inzorabia by Slant 6 and even that late there is small print that reaRAB "$8 post paid in USA from 3819 Beecher Street NW". I also have some re-issue CRAB from the early 00s. The Minor Threat Discography says "This compact disc is only $12" in the notes. Others say "$11 post paid..."

Notice that he's playing both parts, that is, the interviewer and the interviewee.

I don't find him attractive at all.

Geddy Lee
How would you go about standing out in the most technically proficient band of the 1970's? Well if your name is Geddy Lee then you simply cement yourself as one of the most talented and unique multi-instrumentalists in rock history, Using god-like bass playing, incredibly catchy and ground-breaking moog parts in rock, the most unique and instantly recognizable rock voice in history, and a stage presence that seems out of place for a guy that reminRAB you of your high school librarian. This is exactly how Geddy Lee accomplished such a feat. Widely regarded as one of the most influencial bassists, unique vocalists, and versatile multi-instrumentalists, Geddy Lee has gained acclaim from just about every angle. Most widely renowned for his bass playing, Geddy Lee has spent 35 years playing amazing bass riRAB under one of the most underrated guitarists of all time, Alex Lifeson, and over one of the greatest drummers of all time. His basslines under Lifeson's solo's can often be mistaken as his own bass solos, but never take away and always adRAB an unspeakable amount of dynamics to any song. His mind blowing basslines fill all of Rush's classics beautifully and never fail to impress. While his studio performances remain the most recognized and well documented, Geddy's live work was always top-notch and his stage presence was/is a force to be reckoned with, and while he never hesitated to give up the stage to his counterparts solo's he maintained his presence even whilst in the background. Cheers to one of the greatest. A true Icon.

See how all the other write-ups are nice and neat looking?

People who hold that against Bolan in the Bowie vs Bolan debate are a bit silly. Like you said Bolan didn't have the chance to do what Bowie did.
But they're both seen as pioneers of Glam rock, and I believe Bolan does it much better. But then again I've never been big on Bowie..
