U2 and Other Artists Sports Star Equivalent

Under direct orders of the MOD team I was commanded to make this thread.

Name some musical artists and their sports star equivalent.

Bruce Springsteen -> Tom Brady

Lengthy legendary career with no big downturn in their play

U2 -> Christiano Ronaldo

Played forever, hit huge heights, but faded bad in the later part of their career

Radiohead -> Russel Wilson

Not as good as they were made out to be. Irrelevant for the later part of their career.

Coldplay -> Trevor Lawrence

The next big thing and hyped by the media, but was never very good

Led Zeppelin ~> Bobby Orr

Burst onto the scene, best in the game, but didn’t have a long run

The Rolling Stones -> Pele

Changed the game. Played forever. Revered for their accomplishments

Elvis -> Muhammad Ali

Face of the industry

Beatles -> Bo Jackson

Massive impact on their respective areas as well as more broadly in the culture.  Careers cut way too short, but for obviously different reasons.

In the same vein as Elvis-Ali:

Mozart - Messi

Sinatra - Babe Ruth

Jim Morrison -> George Best

Great career cut short by alcohol abuse

Beatles -> Bo Jackson

Massive impact on their respective areas as well as more broadly in the culture.  Careers cut way too short, but for obviously different reasons.

That one’s pretty good
