    Don't let the world bring you down, not everyone here is that fucked up and cold. Remember why you came and while you're alive, experience the warmth before you grow old.

    I love the fact that whenever someone makes a thread like this people inevitable post a bunch of people that in the grand scheme of rock music really don't matter at all and won't be remembered for shit, past like, I don't know, next week?

    Or people post singers who, while successful in the careers, quite honestly have god awful voices.

    I will leave it to you guys to figure out exactly what "vocalists" i am talking about.

    You can't turn a subject like this into one with right answers. What constitutes a top vocalist is very much a matter of perspective. When I see threads like this, I assume they mean "favorite," not best. If we were to do top ten best vocalists, we would all but eliminate rock vocalists. There have certainly been some people listed that I would strongly disagree with, but that's just me. Whatever reaches your soul.
    It makes much more sense to live in the present tense.
