Bruce Springsteen has been named as the 'Greatest Live Act Right Now' by Rolling Stone Magazine. See the full list below.

The Boss tops the chart ahead of Prince, The Rolling Stones, Arcade Fire and Neil Young, after his critically-acclaimed Wrecking Ball world tour which has seen the Born To Run legend play over 215 songs across the dates - with sets clocking in at over 30 songs and often lasting more than three hours.

The top 10 is completed by Jay-Z, Radiohead, Jack White, Rage Against The Machine and My Morning Jacket. Somewhat controversially, Tom Waits charts at No.22 despite not having toured properly for five years - ahead of Muse who only place at No.29. 

Other noteable placings include Sleigh Bells placing at No.32 ahead of Foo Fighters who land at No.34 behind Beyonce but ahead of Bruno Mars.
