If you are going to include 3 living members of Led Zep in one list surely there's a place for their dead drummer in the other?

Thanks to Andy- I've now headbutted the wall and need to add the great and quite frankly fucking genius that was John Bonham to the 'all-time' but dead list.

Andy- I wrote the all-time list before the living one...because I could think of great dead politicians; but not living ones....

[andy at handiwork]

I dont subscribe to the 'all politicians are scum' way of thinking, but I would be hard pressed to name a 'great' living one. Perhaps Tony Benn for being true to his beliefs all this time, ......er, thats it.

I'd go with Bob Singletons 2 EXCELLENT choices, and then include Mick Jones from The Clash

[Arginald Valleywater]

Forgot about Jo Guest!

Dennis Skinner could get a look in as the only proper Labour MP left in Parliament, the rest are closet capitalists and couldn't give a shit about honest working folk, unless they live in a mansion.

Plant and Page wise choices. I'll add in David Gilmour, Alan Bennett and Ronnie Corbett.
