Is there another artist who commands such devotion?

Paulc

On holiday by mistake
One of the other threads (what would we do without Morrissey?) got me thinking - is there another artist that commands the same level of devotion?

I cant think of one.

Never a day goes by when i dont think about something he has said or sung, i quote him all the time, i have his picture in my wallet, i listen to his songs over and over again, i quoted him in my wedding speech, i even got the band to play "some girls are bigger than others" when they had finished their set. I freely admit i am obsessed. I am 34.

I know i am not alone with this obsession but i wondered if any other bands or artists have this affect on their fans?

um thats it
 
The Sisters Of Mercy require a lot of devotion and have a lot of devoted fans - me being one of them!
They haven't released anything for 13 years and yet they still managed a reasonably successful World Tour this year :D... despite sound problems :p
 
Babyshambles, Libertines, Dirty Pretty Things
very devoted fans

Of course. Proud to be part. How can you ignore guys like Pete & Carl? :o

bob dylan has very devoted fans..

that commericalized bastard.
 
their music, Kickstand, their music ;)
 
The Cure
Grateful Dead
Dave Matthews Band
Tori Amos

While some of these are not good at all, there are loads of bands who have the same sort of "devotion" from their fans
 
George Best & Chris Waddle
 
I think the only one that compares in this category is Presley.
