Band of Gods: Part 1

[chmilo24]

Well I have been thinking about this for a while and I thought that I would ask my fellow TPRers for their opinion. Every week I will ask you guys to vote for who you think is the best musician is. It will be a different position with different people each week. This week it will be vocalists, so you will vote for who think the best vocalist is for a Rock band. So when we are done we should have a band made out of the greatest musicians who have ever lived.

 

EDIT: If you do not like any of the vocalists that I put on the poll, you can do a write in for who ever you want. Just post: Write In Vote Your Vote Here. Sorry for all the confusion and disapointment

[Wes]

Gee, could this list be any more slanted towards hard rock and metal bands?

[downunder]

^I agree, what about Trevor from Retroactive.

[chmilo24]

^^Yeah I guess I should have stated that in the original quote, I'll try to make the other positions more varied in genre.

[Wes]

Yeah, no Janis Joplin, no Mick Jagger, no David Bowie, no Steve Perry, no David Lee Roth, no Tim or Jeff Buckley, no Thom Yorke...but some dude from Slipknot, De La Rocha (who is essentially rapping and not singing) and James Hetfield (when have you ever listened to a Metallica song and thought "Yo, that singer dude is totally hitting tons of killer notes").

[brilinjo]

If we're going heavy metal, I'd like to see Ian Gillan (Deep Purple) or Ronnie James Dio. But it's your poll (and I voted Axl Rose). Would be interesting to see if he would make out of his bedroom to join up with the rest of the band. Well at least he would have more chance of Freddy Mercury I suppose.

[mash80]

Wow, this is a real toughie, from those listed and many others I could name. Out of those listed I was torn between Freddie Mercury and Robert Plant but gave the nod to Freddie in the end.

[mcjaco]

I have to agree with Wes here. The poll is too limited. There's really too many singers out there that don't get their due either.

 

Perhaps start this with a "Who do you think is the best singer?" Then create a poll?

[BeemerBoy]

Springsteen.

[bigstevet07]

I went with Mercury based with who is on this list. What about Scott Weiland? What about Sammy Hagar? He may not be as popular, but he can really belt out some notes.

[KPWoCkAxX]

^^ Spingsteen! I can't abide the bloke!

Come on Bruce Dickenson! Saw him live in July! Blew my mind!

I'm going to meet him Before I do the Great North Run!

[DBru]

From the limited choices... my favorite there would have to be Steven Tyler. Dream On is one of my all-time favorites...

[mike541x]

I would've chosen Bon Scott from AC/DC if he was on the list but I did go for Ozzy. Yeah, Ozzy doesn't have the best voice in the world but I still love his music.

[Disney Dood]

What about Sammy Hagar?

 

Haha, good one.

 

I say Eddie Vedder.

[Luka]

From the selection I would go with Axl and Mercury, ending up choosing Mercury.

 

Im my opinion, Ozzy is terrible.

[mcjaco]

What about Sammy Hagar?

 

Haha, good one.

 

I'm not saying Hagar is a great singer, BUT Van Halen had more Top 50 songs once he joined than they did with Roth. And not like one or two more, it's like ten or more.

[KPWoCkAxX]

Good point.......

[Moose]

Apparently only men deserve to be gods.

 

Not sure how a poll can really deify someone.

[the ghost]

Go Corey Taylor, Slipknot Rocks

 

MAGGOT TILL THE END

 

My second choice would have been for system of a down

 

Also Draiman from disturbed was awesome. But based on a live performance from slipknot and disturbed, slipknot dominated mayhem fest.

[chmilo24]

^That they did my friend, that they did.

[larrygator]

I'd have to say Ronnie James Dio had the best voice, even though I'm not a fan of his stuff. I'm still partial to Paul McCartney and his range.

 

Although I'm a big fan of Springsteen and Metallica I don't think Hetfield or Bruce have "great" voices.

[dandaman]

Farrokh Bulsara all the way.

[Scaparri]

I'm going with Freddie Mercury only because there is no option for Lene Nystrøm Rasted, who would have clearly dominated this poll.

[chmilo24]

^There is a write-in option you know.
