I'm sure I'm forgetting some, and purposely leaving some out that probably aren't famous enough to register with too many, but off the top of my head... Brian Wilson Ronnie James Dio Ric Ocasek Liz Phair John Entwistle Micky Dolenz Davy Jones Michael Nesmith Peter Tork Ace Frehley Gene Simmons Paul Stanley Peter Criss Eric Carr Vinnie Vincent Mark St. John Bruce Kulick Eric Singer Alice Cooper Dennis Dunaway Neal Smith Michael Bruce Rod Argent Colin Blunstone Jim Rodford Joey Molland Robin Zander Tom Petersson Bun E Carlos Eric Burdon Mark Farner Evan Dando Gerald Casale "Weird Al" Yankovic Jon Anderson Chris Squire Steve Howe Alan White Rick Wakeman Ozzy Osbourne Tony Iommi Geezer Butler Bill Ward Chris Hillman Daryl Hall John Oates
I got my copy of The Doors Box Set signed by Robbie, Ray and John at the Sunset Strip Tower Records store in 1997.
Not sure if I already posted this, but I got two Ringo autographs and both were thankfully from before he stopped writing out his full last name. Mexican UP on Apple with all songs sung by Ringo.

I have so many - I'm a sucker for that personal touch. It's the same with books too - I have a library of signed editions. This is my favourite signed record though - the one that means the most to me. The Smiths - What Difference Does It Make?
Only a few. Colin Blunstone and Rod Argent from the Zombies, Warren Haynes, Richie Furay, and all four original Raspberries. Oh, and the original Black Sabbath, minus Bill Ward.
The most famous ones are probably Suzanne Vega, John Wetton, Ian McDonald, Mel Collins, Ian Wallace, Jakko Jakzyk, Angela Hewitt and Anne Sophie Mutter.

I have two signed press photographs of PJ Harvey. I used to write to her management company, Principal Management in Dublin about twice a year and pester them for pictures. I don't know how to post here as I would dearly love to share them.

Quite a few, Christopher Cross x 2 - Tina Arena - but the only one I care about is a signed album from Steve Perry.
Michael Stuart, LoVE. Two editions of Pegasus Carousel/Epitaph bio Pair of drumsticks, banged up from a gig! 3 CDs- Da Capo & FC Arthur Lee Da Capo, 1980's CD Twink. Think Pink vinyl Randy Holden Population II Pretty Things With Philippe Debarge Poco & Buffalo Springfield by Jim Messina Peter Gallway (solo, & The Real Band) Several CDs and vinyl signed (and Mark & Andrea signed them) Annie Gallup Bookish CD
Freddie Mercury John Deacon Roger Taylor ... an album signing at Macy’s in NYC for A Night at the Opera. They signed my ANATO tour program ( I saw them at the Beacon theater). Brian May was a no show that day.
Mostly rock stars with a couple of added musicians/singers outside the genre. Brian Wilson Van Dyke Parks Mike Love Chuck Berry Paul McCartney George Harrison Yoko Ono Pete Best Bill Wyman Aimee Mann Solomon Burke Artie Shaw Oscar Levant Sarah Vaughn Davy Jones Wilco David Crosby Stephen Stills Roger McGuinn The Platters (circa late 50s) Bono Victor Borge! And a Roy Orbison bought at auction that I’m nearly 100% sure is a forgery because of the name behind the COA. Always do your homework. Most of the rest of the above were in person and the others - Harrison, Ono, Wilco, Platters, Levant, Vaughn, Shaw - I’m much more confident in for various reasons for each.
George Harrison George Martin Tom Petty Pete Townshend John Entwistle Peter Frampton Mike Nesmith Peter Tork Ian McLagan Kenny Jones Dion Neil Innes Graeme Edge (of The Moody Blues) Graham Nash Fran Healey (of Travis) Andy Dunlop (of Travis) Sharon Jones Courtney Barnett Bev Bevan (of The Move & ELO) Ok Go (full band) Keane (full band) Spacehog (full band) Local Natives (full band) Ken Scott John Williams (the composer - not a Rock musician, but definitely a rockstar)
Roy Orbison on Bruce Springsteen's Born to run. Got it after a Springsteen show in LA. Orbison's birthday, Bruce sang happy birthday to him that night.
