[Carla777]

an okay list..but the order for me could be

RJ Dio
Ian Gillan
Robert Plant
Freddy Mercury
Steve Perry
Lou Gramm
Glenn Hughes

since Hetfield is there i would add R. Halford, G. Tate, R. Adler and why not JL Turner!....and where is P. Benatar?

Carla

I've been waiting ... and waiting ... and waiting for Stevew2 to ask you this so I wouldn't have to but no joy so here goes.

Is that you in your current av? Halloween getup or is this from a Cats movie or broadway show?

Lol StoneCold...she is a zombie from the movie Return of the living dead III (Brian Yuzna)..not a great movie, but the zombie girl is cool, remind me a little of the Cenobites in Hellraiser

here is a clip from the movie

Actually Carla, you should post yourself in an outfit like that.

Do they have Halloween down there?

[StevePerryHair]

No, you can just handle it tomorrow I'm not into that :wink:

Yet, you always wanna see my puppies.

LOL, time for bed here too...........waaaaaay over tired.

Looking and touching are two different things

I'm LMAO! Oh sure, now I'm just your porn.

[Arkansas]

To be fair, the list is based on greatness, which is not the same thing as skill. I don't think anyone argues that to begin with. And if people think that JSS is as "great" as the likes of Perry, Mercury, and so forth... they're retarded.

Firm difference between skill and legend.

Great reply. I think a lot of people confuse these 'greatest' polls with 'most technically proficient'. That's always been a pet peeve of mine. I hate it when people argue a 'greatest' opinion article. Greatest can mean a ton of things to anyone...including record sales & concert attendance.

JSS and Augeri hardly rate that status. Both very good and have loyal followings, but neither really fit this list. Arnel Pineda won't ever either.

No thanks, seem like too much pain in my body

[Vladan]

Steve Perry
Lou Gramm
Freddie Mercury

forget the rest.

Sorry!

[rsimpson]

Keyboard handstands aside, Steve Walsh is DEFINITELY in the top 5....there can be NO argument here. And I'm talking 70s. Cause anyone who knows Kansas knows his voice is shot to hell....

It's gotten much better the last couple of years.

[annie89509]

I agree with Brywool, Paul MacCartney never seems to get his due from the rock critics. Maybe they think he's "pop"...? John's always been held the highest regard of the FAB 4, but it was Paul that was the creative force from '65 on until their breakup. Heck, he practically wrote and sang all their latter-day hits. And, as I understand it (after-the-fact) ... Magical Mystery Tour, St. Peppers, Yellow Submarine ... all originated as Paul's brainchildren.

To answer B's post, I think Jrny1 (the other Ed) is JSS Rocks; way back when, he told us he was taking on a new name (turning over a new leaf) after Andrew let him back in. Some seem to think Suzie is here, but don't know who that could be.

[portland]

Anybody got the comple 50 list?

Did Phil Lynott make it?

If not, he should've or that list is bogus.

Also, Rod Stewart above Perry kinda nixes it too.

I agree, but I was told Stewart is Stewart whatever to hell that means.

Stewart gets extra points for his ability to nail hot chicks one-third his age.

Isn't that another list???

[jrny84]

So where is the link to the complete list???

[ProgRocker53]

If I remember correctly, my boy Steven Wilson from Porcupine Tree actually made the list.... as did Fish of Marillion.

And it made my day.

And pigs will fly before you make it to the top 1000, bro , although swine flue (=flew)

i don't even want to find out what is foxy mug is!! thanks anyway stevecitow2

A mug is your face {not be confused with Jug}

[Gideon]

I would just point out that if you're going to crack down on such comments, you should crack down on them everywhere.

Thanks for the advice. I'll start by keeping an eye on you.

That's your decision to make. But if there's a party line that we're all forced to subscribe to, be considerate and let me know in advance.

[brywool]

I've been looking at that picture of Phil Collins for several days now trying to figure out who it reminded me of and I finally figured it out.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA~ ! No kidding.

[brywool]

Stanley is a showman...not a killer singer. Eric Martin has a much stronger and more soulful vocal.

lol...the same old terms ("soulful" and "emote") for singers that can't even sell out the local taverns. Paul Stanley has a fucking army of fans and Eric Martin has....you and Deb. How come, just like with Soto, no one else hears this "soul" and "emoting?" Why can't these great "soulful emoters" even fill up a bar? *I* know why...because the two of you drag out these intangible terms to compensate for the fact that no one else is interested in these guys domestically. I'm not saying they're not talented, but you guys waaaaay overestimate their abilities, and their inability to fill up even a tiny venue is pretty much proof of that. Success, as far as hits and the ability to draw a crowd, is not the sole indicator of talent, but it does have something to do with it.

Except for that blather about Paul Stanley (whom no one would be interested in without his Kabuki make up and high-heel shoes) I actually agree with you SJ.

I like him unmasked!!

Paul Stanley is Cher. You never see them in the same place.

[brywool]

How's that popsicle?

Good...wanna lick it?

I just threw up in my mouth a little...

[journey361]

My revised Top 10:
1. Steve Perry (Gets No. 1 position on pure talent alone, doesn't need any fourth-quarter heroics)
2. Robert Plant (Going against AI judge Randy Jackson here, reversed 1 and 2)
3. Freddie Mercury (So special on stage, falls short during attempting falsetto)
4. Ronnie Dio (A legend and will be remembered for first rock soaring vocals)
5. Janis Joplin (Love her toasty voice, so 60's and 70's)
6. Ian Gillan (Maybe abit higher here but look who's ahead)
7. Steven Tyler (Still rockingat his age and should inform Steve Perry it's possible)
8. Jim Morrison (Drugs, Party and women, more women, tons of women, free love)
9. Robin Zander (Nothing cheap about this trick, it's called ProTools)
10. Lou Gramm (Great voice and tone, just released a CD)

Love the reasons in ()........that way you already answered the questions why why why

[Tito]

Where did Soto come in at?

Idiot.

Why? I thought he was great, respected by his peers, and popular in Europe. Why wouldn't he be on the list? There are a couple of people on the list who aren't necessarily household names.

[Glenn]

I like Kiss as much as anybody, but Paul Stanley, best singer?! Sorry Lar, but over Eric Martin?!

Paul Stanley is a legend and can sing fucking circles around Eric Martin. Perhaps if you met him he would "emote" better and have more "soul."

Word !

True, but his singing often goes under the radar...He had a successful run as the Phantom in Canada back in 99....Great reviews ...

Great showman and great singer in my book.

[Vladan]

My two cents on this whole situation is this... Who came up with this list? Does reading this list change the way you feel about YOUR favorite singers? In a week, are you even going to remember reading about the list? Who gives a shit?!! It's someone else's top 50. I agree with a lot of the list, but if I had it my way...the top 5 would look like this...

1. Steve Perry
2. Lou Gramm
3. Jimi Jamison
4. Freddy Mercury
5. Phil Collins

That's just MY opinion. Not that it should change how any of you feel about YOUR favorites! Peace, Love and happiness!

Thats a bloody good list IMO. And Phil Collins is awesome, but I'd probably swap Phil over with somebody like Farnsy (Johhny Farnham), and it would be the strongest list around.
