    Hey nobody mentioning JOEY RAMONE and COBAIN! That's a shame!!

    Somebody did...erm Collin did.

    If it was top 15 or 20...Bob Marley would be on my list. I just have way too many favourites.

    i may as well say..the fact u dont have tori amos on ur list u shouldnt be taken serious... pfft stuff that

    how can u make that kind of statement "that fact that ive seen FREDDIE MERCURY on only one list is enough to not take anyone seriously here" in ur opinion he is the be all and end all, but well he definitely isnt to me, and really - there is no way that u can say to me that im wrong or that my opinion sucks or anything to that effect since this is all purely subjective

    I think i forgot a few...

    Zack De La Rocha-awesome rapping and lyrics

    Dave Matthews-the one aspect of DMB that is underrated-his voice. So versatile.

    Scott Weiland(i dunno i mightve put him before...)-just an awesome vocalist

    The Beatles Team lol...Paul McCartney is my favorite out of them all though
    I've faced it, a life wasted, and I'm never going back again.

    Some die just to live.

    dont be ignorant. give me someone better than mercury
  • What the hell here's mine (maybe more than 10)

    Eddie Vedder
    Robert Plant
    Freddie Mercury
    Paul Rogers (can't believe nobody put him, FREE, BAD COMPANY, THE FIRM, now QUEEN, but don't know how he sounds with them..)
    Eric Burdon (lead singer from the Animals, also sang Spill the Wine)
    Roger Daltrey
    Jim Morrison
    Elvis (not the drugged bloated one, but the young Elvis, especially the '68 comeback elvis)
    Chris Cornell
    Ronnie Van Zant (God bless him)
    Steven Tyler
    Stevie Ray Vaughn
    Eric Clapton (smooth like a good whiskey)

    Guys that don't make the list, but I still like them are::

    Bono (never could really sing, but an amazing performer!)
    David Lee Roth (brought Cock-rock to the forefront)
    Paul Stanley/Gene Simmons (voices fit the music)
    Ozzy (everybody loves Ozzy)
    Steve Perry from Journey--chicks really dug him in the 80s

    I should stop as I'm showing my age!!!!
    Makes much more sense to live....in the present tense

    I know I was born and I'll know that I'll die
    The inbetween is mine, I am mine

    Why go home??
