    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.

    Hey nobody mentioning JOEY RAMONE and COBAIN! That's a shame!!
    (ok, they weren't good, but their voices were amazing!)
    it's easy to confuse a great design with life's ripercussions

    i'd rather die than give you control
