Ok, Elvis was the King,of Rock n Roll, so who is/was the Queen?

[cherish44]

And don't say Pricilla and don't be a smart ass and say Elton John or some shit like that...the Queen must be a musician and must be a female :)

[HopeHoops]

1. Does Elton John count?

That isn't gay bashing - he's out of the closet and I'm not in any way anti-gay. I just thought that since he's been knighted, he is royalty!

[Demoiselle]

2. Aretha Franklin. No competition.

[KamaAina]

4. But she's already the Queen of Soul

Is this something like the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, where one head wears two crowns? :shrug:

[Demoiselle]

7. Yes. The United Kingdom of Rock and Soul. Or Soulful Rock. (nt)

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

3. Freddy Mercury?

Little Richard?

[cherish44]

5. Read the post! Queen must be FEMALE! (I anticipated smart ass responses)

Hey this ain't my first day here :7 B-) :party:

[BeachBaby]

6. Tina Turner was the first woman who came to mind.

[applegrove]

8. Me too. She came to mind right away.

[Orrex]

11. Correct answer!!

Grace Slick perhaps a distant second?

Janis, maybe, but she flared out too soon.

[Captain Hilts]

9. Aretha or Tina. Or Diana R. White women just didn't have a high profile

outside of folk, in which case it would be Mary Travers.

[bluedigger]

10. No question!

Janis!

[Orrex]

12. Did she have any songs other than Me and Bobby What's-his-name?

:hide:

[cherish44]

14. Cry Baby Cry, Take Another Piece of Heart are two more famous ones

[BeachBaby]

16. I never thought of her as being of the "rock" genre.

For some reason, I always think of Janis as being more bluesy.

[cherish44]

13. Ok how about Janis?

Too bluesy?

[Kali]

15. Wanda Jackson

[abq e streeter]

18. was thinking about her , Brenda Lee, Janis Martin and even in a way, Charlene Arthur

[abq e streeter]

17. Gotta go with Janis even given her tragically short life...

a case could be made for Tina Turner, Grace Slick and Melissa Ethridge... but Janis' short life and career doesn't change the immense impact she had and the echo of that impact almost 40 yrs after her death any more than Buddy Holly's similarly short time of making records lessens his impact and continuing influence.

20. You get it!

[MilesColtrane]

19. Little Richard

And, he taught the king everything he knew.
