Yup. Ed Ved is in it.
I think it pretty funny and especially agree with the last four.

    I can agree with having Vedder on the list. When he rambles ON and ON about politics, it gets pretty annoying.

    That Thom Yorke pic is scary!!!

    It says on Eddie

    14. Eddie Vedder

    Vedder’s actually mellowed out considerably since Pearl Jam’s early days, when he sang everything like he had a bad case of lockjaw and refused to sully his band’s reputation with such cheap marketing ploys as (gasp) music videos. But he’s still the man most responsible for the fact that, for most of the ‘90s, every hard rock vocalist sounded like he had a bad case of lockjaw.
    My lips are shaking.......

    I can't believe Kroeger didn't make the top 10. That douche nozzle doesn't even need to open his mouth to annoy me, just the fact that we come from the same province makes me want to move to Alaska...........

    Maynard Keenan is missing. Else, I think the list is pretty great. I can def. see how people are annoyed by Ed. I like him, and the critique of him wasn't nearly as bad as the rest of the people on there.

    I think if people really understand Eddie and the band, it'd be very easy to paint him as a phony. The whole anti-fame-tortured-artist thing could definitely be used as a front to gain popularity / raise record sales.

    I think we all know what he's about though :)

    I thought that list was hilarious and well done.

    at least put Ed on there for the right reasons. the self important drunken political rants are pretty annoying. the voice isnt.
  • wavescamecrashingwavescamecrashing Posts: 440
    i actually agreed with all of that. the stuf about corgan was spot on, as with chris martin, durst, stapp and kiedis.

    im an rhcp fan but do think he holds them back, especially obvious live over the last five years or so.

    i think the dig at ed is a little out moded, reads like its from 1992

    LOL Sting looks like a lobster boat captain? I love The Police but that is funny.

    At least they got number 1 right. Although I probably am more annoyed by Fred Durst.

    Haha nice list; I loved the bit about Tom DeLonge. I've gotta hear me some Creed, this Scott Stapp fellow sounds like quite the douche.

    You know Soundgarden's Jesus Christ Pose? Stapp seems to think it was promoting such behaviour. Awful, awful person.

    Should we not care? Should he not have an opinion and try to motivate others to do something?

    When I buy tickets to see a band performing MUSIC, that's what I would like to see that band do. I could care less who he wants to see win the presidential race.

    I think the guy from Hinder should've been on the list. I'd put right behind Scott Stapp at number 2.

    Im sorry but I dont see how Ozzy missed that list. How can someone sound like such a Tard when he speaks and sing 'slightly normal' not be annoying? Also, Axel Rose is the most annoying fat ass human being of all time.

    Right on -- give me a hello Clevel ... I mean St Louis and a "how y'all doin' tonight" and you got yourself a fuckin rock concert. Nobody pays for crowd interaction. As a matter of fact, PJ tend to fuck up alot when they play live, so they should just throw a cd on, dance around a bit a call it night. I didn't pay for mistakes for Christs sake.

    Take off Ed and Thom Yorke.
  • reversedarwinismreversedarwinism Posts: 1,151
    Of course It has some of the best voices ever. And some of the truely most annoying (Kroger, STapp, Delonge). I'm not surprised at all that included some of the best voices ever in rock. Weiland can sing anything. Yorke and Kietis have beautiful voices and approaches. I almost got offended when I saw Ed Ved, but you got to expect this list will include some of the very best too, especially in "rock" music.

    Ain't this some shit Eddie makes that list and I thought for sure one of my favorite voices Geddy Lee would be there or mentioned and it hasn't .

    Go figure.

    Bennington, Yorke, Bono, Way, Doherty, Kroeger, Rose, Corgan and Dirst... I can't disagree with those.

    I personally disagree with Ed Kowalczyk and Vince Neil but that's personal choice.

    The others i'm indifferent too.

    Vedder being there is just a joke.
    "But he’s still the man most responsible for the fact that, for most of the ‘90s, every hard rock vocalist sounded like he had a bad case of lockjaw"
    WTF?! AND he's HIGHER than the likes of Way and Bennington?! C'mon... SERIOUSLY?!
    Been to this many PJ shows: Reading 2006 London 2007 Manchester & London 2009 Dublin, Belfast, London, Nijmegen & Berlin 2010 Manchester 1 & Manchester 2 2012...

    ... and I still think Drive-By Truckers are better.

    Dave Matthews

    "is it just us, or is there something vaguely objectionable about anyone who names their band just by sticking the word “Band” after their name? Hey, everybody, look! I’m a total egomaniac and not particularly creative! Now check out this eight-minute mandolin solo"

    holy crap
    :D
