Here's your hint. Try to narrow down the genre. With the possible exception of Peter Gabriel, all of those guesses are what I would call Classic Rock. Think outside the box a bit.

Is the person on my non-guess thought list?

But I'll only give a yes or no answer.

Yes, I would accept that as a question.

So (theoretically) if I were to ask a question - something like "Is the person on my non-guess thought list, would that be a legitimate Question?

Let me know if/when you want to make one of those a guess.

A few non-guess thoughts...
Freddie Mercury
Elton John
Peter Gabriel
And in a different note..
Joe Cocker
Cat Stevens. ???

[quote]Shouldn't count as a guess then.[/quote]

Nice try.

Robert Plant is 6'1". I never thought that question would become relevant.

After 15 questions (one more), I'll start giving hints.

If it's not Ozzy, it still has got to be Ozzy!

[quote]Well known by 1979 (or earlier)?[/quote]
Yes.

[quote]Is he a member of a rock band?[/quote] Your use of the present tense may be misleading. I'll say he is known as having been a member of a rock band.
