Rock always had a few classifications soft Rock, hard rock, punk rock etc

Elvis Costello?

Bruce Springsteen?

Elton John.


Irony - 5/11/13 at 10:56 PM

You probably mean Ferry, but I disagree. I'd go with Alice Cooper because he dresses for rock. Or Angus Young.

Smoking Frog - 6/11/13 at 09:36 PM

Rick Astley can't remember him wearing shades and I wouldn't call it rock but everything else fits. Very big in the late 80s. Had quite a few number 1s. "Never Gonna Give You Up" was one.
