Hope you all had a great weekend. Well, this is it Rock-Pickers! 9 weeks gone and we are now down to the last week. What a way to start the Top 10 with the grandest of grandad's in Rock. Put the genre of rock aside and let's think of the music industry in general. 10 is one of the biggest names in the industry without a shadow of a doubt! And he's still going. SIR Michael Phillip Jagger, come and collect your award...if there was one that is! Your trophy is a worthy entry on this exclusive poll.
Mick Jagger, to be fair, is one of those people that need little, or no introduction, at all. Regardless of if you dig the Stones or not, chances are you know who Mick Jagger is. Heck, he even had a song about him!
Mick, who was born on 26 July 1943, as well as being the lead singer in one of the biggest bands ever to grace the planet, he is also an actor and film producer. His career has spanned over five decades, and he has been described as "one of the most popular and influential frontmen in the history of rock & roll". His distinctive voice and energetic live performances, along with Keith Richards' guitar style, have been the trademark of the Rolling Stones throughout the band's career. Jagger gained press notoriety for his admitted drug use and romantic involvements, and was often portrayed as a countercultural figure.
He was born and bred in Dartford, Kent. He studied at the London School of Economics before abandoning his academic career to join the Rolling Stones. Jagger has written most of the Rolling Stones' songs together with Richards, and they continue to collaborate musically. In the late 1960s, Jagger began acting in films (starting with Performance and Ned Kelly), to a mixed reception. He began a solo career in 1985, releasing his first album, She's the Boss, and joined the electric supergroup SuperHeavy in 2009. Relationships with the Stones' members, particularly Richards, deteriorated during the 1980s, but Jagger has always found more success with the band than with his solo and side projects.
In 1989, Jagger was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and in 2004 into the UK Music Hall of Fame with the Rolling Stones. As a member of the Stones, and as a solo artist, he reached number one on the UK and US singles charts with 13 singles, the Top 10 with 32 singles and the Top 40 with 70 singles. In 2003, he was knighted for his services to popular music.
Jaggs has been married (and divorced) once, and has also had several other relationships. Jagger has eight children with five women. He also has five grandchildren and became a great-grandfather on 19 May 2014, when his granddaughter Assisi gave birth to daughter Ezra Key. Jagger's net worth has been estimated at $360 million. Not likely to go hungry for a while then!
As once there was a media-built rivalry between Blur and Oasis, years before that, on a slightly bigger scale, was The Beatles and The Stones. The more poppier Beatles against the more 'rocky' Stones. You were in one camp, or the other. The Stones though carried on when The Beatles split. It was all before my time of course. If I'm honest, for me it's a similar thing with The Who. I know their music, I know their band members, especially the frontmen, but I just wasn't a fan. Some of the music was ok but I would neither turn it off or turn it up. However, Mick Jagger is a far bigger name than Roger. Regardless of your taste, or your favourite. There's big, there's huge and then there's Mick. I'm not talking about those lips either!
I didnt think we'd be writing about him just yet. I thought he might stretch somewhere in reach of the top 5. But alas, will he get satisfaction?
I'll leave you all to discuss Sir Mick. I'll be back later with someone who has a similarities with Sir Mick. Stay tuned....Hope you all had a great weekend.
