Greatest lead vocalist in rock n roll history?

[Mayhem]

Freddie was king, no doubt. I will toss Eddie Vedder into the conversation. Great in concert, great lyricist.

Yup. Eddie is on the list. I'm adding Robert Plant as my submission as best Male Lead. Going with Janis for Best Female Lead. I honestly think the two should be separate and I want to spray some douche-eliminating Febreze on the other thread.

Oh yeah and Chris Cornell. Maybe Serj Tankian.

Anne Wilson is the best female vocalist, IMHO.

[L3ggy]

You are?

 

[Jack Davenport]

Everybody on the internet is in fantastic shape. Don't you know that?

I'm feeling pretty emanciated. I should probably take a step outside for a few seconds, get something to eat, ect.

Female: Chrissie Hynde
Male: Freddie Mercury, Mick Jagger

Ronnie James Dio rocks. Rob Halford is amazing. But my vote goes to Paul Rodgers. He has kicked ass in every project he ever took on.

 

[PirateKing]

Ann Wilson is the best female vocalist, IMHO.

Chrissie Hynde > Ann. Plus she's still hot...ish. Hotter than Ann. That's pretty much what it all comes down to.

All except as Freddie Mercury's replacement.

OK, I'm unclear. Are you feeling emaciated or emancipated? Because, y'know, one makes sense and the other is kinda strange.

 

[PirateKing]

Both. I just escaped *insert eccentric member here*'s basement. Fucker had me down there for weeks. I'm a free man but also a bit gaunt. Someone get me a god damn cheeseburger. Hold the onions.

That was lame. Probably would have been easier just to say SHUT YOUR WHORE MOUTH! EMANCIATED, bitch! As in fucking hungry!

I love you though bro. What do you think about my Greatest lead vocalist candidates?

Chrissie Hynde > Ann. Plus she's still hot...ish. Hotter than Ann. That's pretty much what it all comes down to.

Chrissie is very talented, but nowhere as good as Ann, at least in her prime.

Robert Plant.

He's brilliant.
