I don't have time to read the whole thread, but any list that doesn't include Cornell and Plant in the top 5 is pure malarkey...The only people we should try to get even with...
...are those who've helped us.

Ed Vedder
Robert Plant
Maynard James Keenan
Chris Cornell
Geoff Tate

ed is my number 1
cornell - well... i dunno, some times his voice gets to me, and thats when i guess he is "showing off his range" hence me nothing thinking that range makes u the best in these cases0 -

Well of course I disagree there....Cornell IMO is the one who shines on that song. He comes from out of nowhere with incredible power...and completely stealing the show from Vedder.gregwheeler wrote:FUNNY HOW CORNELL EVEN SOUNDED LIKE VEDDER,AFTER TEMPLE.....for a album or so..

David Bowie has an amazing voice, even to this day... and he didn't always make shitty records. Nearly everything pre-1977 is great, and the last two albums were fantastic. And he is easily one of the most influential artists ever If you want to get into a discussion of artistry, which is a whole different thing.
Set myself up for what exactly? a shoddy attempt at criticsim?
Furthermore I didn't intend the whole 3 people i mentioned to be some kind of a definitive list, I was trying to mention names that no one had mentioned yet. Thats why I said: "Just few i thought I would throw out... "The Man has a branch office in each of our brains, his corporate emblem is a white albatross, each local rep has a cover known as the Ego, and their mission in this world is Bad Shit.0 -
Most of the vocalists mentioned here with better range than Bowie don't have half his skill in using their voice to express different emotions and characters all within the same song. They don't call him "The Chameleon" for nothing."Reality continues to ruin my life." - Calvin & Hobbes.
