Answer 1

everyone is entitled to an opinion of whom they think has charisma and energy, please dont berate them for not agreeing with you when you asked such an open question

Answer 2

So Ozzy, Lemmy and Brian May don't count?

Answer 3

....because no one else could afford to be quite that high for a full 50 years?

Answer 4

Ozzy,Lemmy,Keith Moon,Ian Anderson,Bruce Dickinson,Paul Rodgers..........how many more do you want?

Answer 5

Onstage charisma and energy?

Surely Freddie Mercury?

Answer 6

wow!

Answer 7

Because hes an old fogey. So over now

Answer 8

most overrated queen in rock history.

Answer 9

Sorry but three words that shouldn't be in the same sentence are 'Mick''Jagger' and 'charisma'..!

I will concede he does have energy onstage but you can see that kind of performance any Saturday night in any-town on any dance floor.

I find him a dreary little scrote. Agree with other posts Freddie Mercury leaves him standing.

Answer 10

l really think that's a matter of opinion.

Answer 11

Sorry but I think that Freddy Mercury was far superior to Mick Jagger in every way.

I grew up in the age of the sixties music revolution, it is true to say that no other band has kept the world so enthralled for so long and with such popularity, but as far as quality and pure showmanship is concerned, Queen will never surpassed in the UK.

Answer 12

I wouldn't say that, I've come dam close.

Answer 13

Jagger is the best

Answer 14

in MY opinion the uk has produced most of the greatest rock stars? few people have had such a magical quality on stage in general why single out the uk?

freddie mercury...

joe strummer...

robert plant...

these guys have MILLIONS of fans, their charisma and energy are UNDENIABLE

'The answers are not Freddie Mercury...'... right.... i dont know why i bothered to answer your question ...yah

Answer 15

Come on, they did some great songs....but onstage jagger look's like a prat !

Answer 16

Stuff Mick!  Keef rocks!!!!!!!!

Answer 17

I was thinking about 1964.  Here's a prophecy in hindsight:

In the year 2008, the Beatles will be no more.  Two will be dead, one will be widowered.  The band will be gone.  This Mick Jagger man will still be rockin' your socks off.  

In 1964, no one would have believed it.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MICK!!
