Are there any rockers left that are still considered to be A-list celebrities?

Ozzy isn’t A-list, since 2002 he’s just there for people to laugh at. And before that he wasn’t A-list either.

I'd say that Jimmy Page still is... the world went nuts when he hacked his way thru Rumble last year.

Nah. He's more like an old friend....or an old mailman.
Then he's an A-List old friend or an A-List old mailman.

That's right....and he's checking it twice.

They won't admit he's guilty. That would mean he's made fools of them.

Agreed. Just spit-balling names since we seemed to be stuck on only a small number of other musicians. This is just an example of what an A-list is.

I think the changes in the music industry have changed what is A-List overall these days. Bands that can fill a stadium may still not be A in the eyes of the world.

So, does A-List apply to specific geographies, or is it only worldwide?

That’s true. Good point

It's funny. I saw some clips of him being interviewed before the Grammy's and it was awkward at best. He's not a "rock star" in that regards...but come on people... how many artists can play Madison Square Garden pretty much every month year after year like he has done? And then he goes overseas and plays places like the Rome Colosseum. I think that's pretty fucking A-list.
