[Mount_Happy]

[a7x1337]

you know very well it takes me a long time to get things up :wah:
it's ok, babe :)

i voted serj, though i considered labrie

[Lounge Fly]

Freddie Mercury

[subin]

I voted for Plant. Led Zeppelin is really one of about 3 bands on the poll that I listen to a lot. He has great vocals nevertheless.

[SheBear]

Freddie Mercury

yeah, definitely. Though I voted for Plant, but only because out of the choices he's probably my favorite.

A bunch of the other's are good though.

[ConanTL]

I noticed a distinct lack of Gildenlöw, Patton and Akerfeld

[esruC]

I said Serj.

Halford and Bon Scott are close.

[a7x1337]

I said Serj.

Halford and Bon Scott are close.
woah, i figured you'd be a dickinson man.

[Mount_Happy]

I noticed a distinct lack of Gildenlöw, Patton and Akerfeld
I actually had Patton in mind before i made the thread, but when i made it, i came up with the first ones to come to my head.

Ill put em on a future one though.

[esruC]

woah, i figured you'd be a dickinson man.

Yeah, actually I preferred Di'Anno to Dickinson.

But he's up there somewhere...

[Mr Chainsaw]

Mike Patton, but I chose Robert Plant.

[temp100]

Bruce Dickinson. He's simply my favourite vocalist ever.

Followed by Mercury, Gillan, Patton, Akerfeldt, Staley, Plant, Barlow, Fogerty, Keenan, Tate, Garm, Halford, Renske, Gildenlow... etc

[Sezril]

Brucey Bruce! :raiseeyeb

Actually I'm seriously in love with Messiah Marcolin right now. A sa-a-a-a-a-a-a-ad stream of silver, a mourning man's go-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-old!

[ConanTL]

Am I the only one that can't stand Dickinson? I admire his ability, but I just can't stand his voice and I think he sings with way too much vibrato.

[TheScarecrow]

What? I'm the only one who voted for Halford? So sad....

[born2lose]

What? I'm the only one who voted for Halford? So sad....
It was a dead heat between him and Bruce Dickinson. Saw both live and they both definately hold up.

[ThePope#15]

I voted Bon Scott.

Am I the only one who loved Kurt Cobains voice?

[a7x1337]

it's kind of strange, imo, that plant is winning by such a measure, since he's the only thing that holds me back from zeppelin

[Kellenator]

What? I'm the only one who voted for Halford? So sad....
Nope... I just voted for him.

Can't! Stop! The! Painkilleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeer!

[Liberator13]

Cobain doesn't need to be there...

[GlobeWanderer]

Maynard....fu**ing unbelievable live!!!!!

[Solaris]

LaBrie just pipped Plant for me.

[Sander]

None of them. Eddie Vedder for life.

[Mr Chainsaw]

Why is Anthony Kiedis on there? Am I the only one that thinks he's overrated?

[Mount_Happy]

Cobain doesn't need to be there...
Yea, but he is...

Why is Anthony Kiedis on there? Am I the only one that thinks he's overrated?
cause 1) its my fucking poll, and 2) its a RANDOM fucking poll, i didnt think these choices out i just put down what came to my head.

[Mr Chainsaw]

Touche

10 chars

[atreyu_2020]

Bruce definitely, then LaBrie, then Reznor..fuck the rest.

[Dr. Zombie]

Well some of my favorites aren't on there, but Reznor is, so I voted for him :P. Sounds even better live to me, haven't seen many shows that good live either.

[DazednConfused]

Am I the only one that can't stand Dickinson? I admire his ability, but I just can't stand his voice and I think he sings with way too much vibrato. Personally, I like his over the top style because of how it fits in with the group as a whole. To pull off a song with lyrics like those of "The Number of the Beast" or to avoid being overshadowed by screaming dual guitars, it's needed.
it's kind of strange, imo, that plant is winning by such a measure, since he's the only thing that holds me back from zeppelinIn an action I'm sure nobody is surprised by, I voted for him as well. He's abrasive, I'll admit, but that just adds to the overall confident style and swagger of the band. If you can get past the innate reaction to hearing his high-pitched notes, and to his tone, you'll be able to appreciate the mood his voice helps create, and the genuine vocal skill the man has.

[Shay]

Where is teh fuckin Eddie Vedder! :mad:

[BiteMe]

I voted for Kiedis. How anyone can vote for Serj, I don't know.

[sparrky]

Dickinson, followed by LaBrie then Tankian.

[wrathchild]

1) Dickinson
2) Halford
3) MJK/LaBrie

[IWP]

1) Dickinson
2) Halford


.................

[temp100]

Because of Bruce Dickinson's awesomeness, I bequeath upon you all, this video. (http://youtube.com/watch?v=FP9GWmyz5xI&mode=related&search=)

It's a video of him covering Tom Jones - Delilah on some gameshow. :lol:
It must have been early days for him.

[Rev'd_Flasher]

Bon Scott.
Sure, Dickinson and Plant may have better voices, and some of the others may write better lyrics (Tool, RHCP etc) but if you've got a down n dirty rock band, you want Bon Scott fronting it. From that list I think he is the most complete rock 'n' roll frontman you'll ever find.

[Kellenator]

ZOMG Gerard Way!!!

[a7x1337]

ZOMG Gerard Way!!!
bastard, you made me choke on my sandwich :lol:

[CheeseMonkeys]

Fucking Robert Plant!

[IWP]

ZOMG Gerard Way!!!

My girlfriend is obsessed with that tool.

[led_head]

I voted Plant. But Ian Gillian is probably one of the best unrecognized singers.

[strikeandburn]

I voted Robert Plant, He's fucking Amazing.

Bruce Springsteen also.

[Pajman]

I voted Plant. But Ian Gillian is probably one of the best unrecognized singers.
Either him or Dio; no one has even mentioned him in this thread.

[Frostdaddy]

Geddy Lee. But for the sake of this poll, I voted Bon Scott.

[temp100]

Either him or Dio; no one has even mentioned him in this thread.
I mentioned Gillan earlier. He's one of my favourite vocalists ever - and one of Dickinson's favs as well.

Child in Time is simply the greatest vocal performance ever. :p

[wrathchild]

My favourite singer ever is probably Matt Barlow (why wasn't he mentioned yet?). Ian Gillan is also a great singer, or at least he was a great singer.

Also unmentioned:
Layne Staley
Chris Cornell (Soundgarden stuff rather than Audioslave)
David Wayne (R.I.P.)
Hansi Kursch

[I Like Me]

Hansi Kursch

Indeed. He's my favorite. Also, André Matos of Shaaman, ex-Angra (AKA Elderane the Elf from Avantasia :D ) and Tony Kakko of Sonata Arctica.

[Travmire]

I voted Serj, but none of the choices would be in my top five, maybe not even in my top ten.

[Daucus Karota]

none on that list

but I voted for Kurt Cobain

[Blue Lightening]

I voted Keidis cause I like the Chili's lyrics and because Ozzy Ozbourne, The guy from Dire Straits whos name temporarly escapes me, Eddy Vedder, The guy from Counting Crows WNTEM, Axl Rose, Noel Gallagher, Phil from Pantera, Freddy Mercury, Guy from RATM, Billy Corgan, guy from Steriophonics and Sting weren't up there.

How can anyone like James Labree? For fucks sake he almost spoils DT.

[BYOB(SOAD)]

Good Poll !!
Vote for Serj Of course.
Anthony would be a close second though.
