Top 100 Rock/Metal Vocalists: Round 2, Poll A

[YDload]

Okay this is the first poll of five in the second round. Like all the polls this time, you're probably going to have a hard time choosing because all the best and/or favorite singers are lumped together. Here are the choices:

Freddie Mercury (Queen): Fat bottomed girls you make the rockin' world go round.

Maynard James Keenan (Tool): This body holding me reminds me of my own mortality.

Chuck Schuldiner (Death): I don't know.

Eddie Vedder (Pearl Jam): Even flow, thoughts arrive like butterflies.

Axl Rose (Guns N Roses): Hello my name is Axl Rose and I am a butt ololololol

Eric Clapton (solo): Good guitar player, I don't know why anyone cares about his singing.

Matt Barlow (Iced Earth): It may have been a mistake putting him in with Halford, but otherwise he would have had to go up against Dickinson or Dio or all the other good metal singers.

Rob Halford (Judas Priest): Faster than a laser bullet, louder than an atom bomb.

Bob Dylan (solo): Poet of a generation, but his actual singing is largely incoherent and leaves much to be desired.

Steven Wilson (Porcupine Tree): Always the summers are slipping away.

Okay that's all I got. Vote!

1st post, huzzah!

Schuldiner, Keenan, Mercury, Barlow, and Wilson :(

[Darkness]

Maynardz

[Lord Abortion]

Barlow, Barlow and Barlow

[Otherside]

Saving vote for now.

[robo2448]

Dylan. Love his voice. He might make it but probably not. I'm assuming top 5 go through?

[Permanent Solution]

I thought the second round was supposed to be harderthan the first?

[Kage]

Cool. Steven gets it hands down.

[YDload]

Dylan. Love his voice. He might make it but probably not. I'm assuming top 5 go through?

Ha ha yeah right. Let's go to a round of 25, then 12.5, then 6.25... why, we could do this forever!

No way, next round is the final one. I'll leave it up to you to figure out how many are moving on ;)

[Frobbage]

Chuck! (RIP, he died on the 13th, tomorow.)

[robo2448]

Ha ha yeah right. Let's go to a round of 25, then 12.5, then 6.25... why, we could do this forever!

No way, next round is the final one. I'll leave it up to you to figure out how many are moving on ;)

:upset: Knew it would be like that. Alright Dylan has pretty no chance then:upset:. My math skills could use a little work;)

[SilverSpoon]

Barlow, Barlow and Barlow

Ditto. But I let down Freddy... :(

[Det_Nosnip]

Mjk.

[ThrashMaster27]

My vote goes for Halford, but I can't see him making it through this round somehow.

[Morningrise]

AHHH, Steven Wilson's my favorite singer on that poll. But Mercury's still the most talented so I'll suck it up and vote for him.

[i am the robots]

Chuck!

[Morningrise]

The Tool fanboys better not **** this poll up though.

[Maggot Dream]

Freddie Mercury.

[Jacaranda]

Crazy little thing called love. Not lettin' Freddie slip by.

[Dried Muffin Remnants]

The Tool fanboys better not **** this poll up though.

Yeah, it would be much better if they didn't vote for their actual favorite and voted for your choice instead.

[Kosmos Tree]

Maynard, that's an easy poll

[Kurtz]

Dylan.

His voice takes a while to like, to say the least.

[Deth]

Halford again.

[mr black]

:confused: so many good singers... 'votes for freddie out of spite for tool fanboys'

[TojesDolan]

I should consider making a Death tribute. Just like those fag beatles ones... hmm...

Anyhow, Mr. Halford needed teh vote. :D

[manuscriptreplica]

Maynard :D

[apple pie]

Freddie Mercury (Queen)

[PepsiMetal]

I like freddie, rob, and matt alot, but freddie just a little more than those other 2.

[CaptainWaits]

Barlow!

[something erotic]

Wilson, Wilson, Wilson!

[Brewer14]

I heard Bohemian Rhapsody yesterday and We Are the Champions today on the radio

Freddddddieee

[rockinbass17]

Third to vote Bob.
I have a feeling he won't make it through this round....

[blue3]

I voted for Axl Rose.

[BassMasterMike88]

Mercury or Maynard? Mercury or Maynard?

/Head Explodes

[dr._feelgood]

Halford, since I know Freddie won't need my vote.

[Ace_of_Bass2112]

tough choice between MJK and Barlow. I went with my gut and went Barlow (sorry tool)

[naboo]

Matt Barlow.

[Broken Arrow]

Dylan. Early Dylan has some of my favourite voacls of all time, I dont know why?

[Stormrider]

Me went with Barlow !

Barlow FTW !

[Steerpike]

I went with Barlow since Freddie is a sure-thing and MJK has the Tool legions backing him.

[zabbit82]

I'd vote for Freddie Mercury, but seeing as Clapton has no votes yet and he has a pretty good voice, I'll give him my vote. Besides, I think Mercury will have this poll owned...

[iluvkirkhammett]

Mercury, he was such a legend, such a rock star, taken way before his time.

[heavy metal kid]

I voted Mercury, that's how a great frontman should be.

[PinkFreud]

maynard actually needed help which was a surprise. thats where mine went then.

[BlindWriting]

Crap.

Steve Wilson and Maynard in the same poll....

[big eskimo pimpin]

Freddy. I don't like Maynards voice.

[YDload]

I wish there was a way to make the vote totals secret until the end. That way people would only vote for the people THEY LIKE.

[PepsiMetal]

Yea that would be a nice feature since most people vote for who they think needs it the most, not who is actually the best.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Halford.

[ThePatient]

Maynard. *is listening to Tool*

[Friik]

tool fanboy \m/ (>.<) \m/

Actually i like Maynard more than the rest, freddie is good to but i prefere maynard.

[lost_profits]

I actually voted maynard for his work with A Perfect Circle. Not Tool.
He's almost a different person in APC, listen to Orestes and compare it to something he's done in Tool.

[G_Mac07]

It's either MJK or Barlow for me. Tough poll.

[Darkness]

I went with Barlow since Freddie is a sure-thing and MJK has the Tool legions backing him.
Hm... where are these legions? I expected him to be closer to Freddie.

[randomthought9]

I voted Maynard. (surprise). It was him or Freddy, and Freddy is winning.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Yeah, it would be much better if they didn't vote for their actual favorite and voted for your choice instead.

Remind me to + rep you for this in when rep is up and working again. :lol:

On that note, I voted for Wilson.

[randomthought9]

Hm... where are these legions? I expected him to be closer to Freddie.

Yeah, that's what I thought too. I expected Maynard to be way out front. If Freddy wins, I won't mind at all though.

[asholle]

bob dylan beating eddie vedder? bob has one of the shittiest voices ever in the history of music

[Jasarn]

Chuck for the win.

[Leper]

I would vote Dylan, but I feel it's a sin to vote anyone over Freddy.

[BeaZ]

I went Axl, I just love his voice.

[SoLs]

maynard

[-The Frank]

Halford

[repcak]

Maynard James Keenan

[nowitzki]

Freddie by a mile.
Axl would possibly be my 2nd choice, hes got no chance of getting through though.

[the2stranger]

Mercury is the best, Wilson is my favorite out of them.

I voted Wilson, although there are many great vocalists on there.

RIP Chuck.

[Kronos]

It had to be Rob Halford for me; Mercury's probably gonna walk this, and he's great, but he's been dead for 14 years - Halford's been going since 74 and shows no sign of slowing down.

In terms of output and influence over that length of time, no-one else up there is really credible opposition.


That won't stop the Tool fanboys tho':smash:

[ThrashMaster27]

Very, very true.

It kinda reminded me of when all the Maiden fans came together in the 'Iron Maiden vs Judas Priest' thread. All of them were saying "well Iron Maiden changed their style quite a bit" blah blah blah.

No Justice.

[Deth]

If Halford doesn't get through this round, I'm boycotting the vote.

Irrational? Of course!

[Kronos]

That poll was pant-ola.

Almost every one of the Maiden fanboys said

"I've only heard one song by Priest, but I don't think they're as good, so it has to be Maiden...." well, forgive my correct spelling, punctuation and grammar, but it was something like that.

Maiden changed their style? Gimme a break. Compare Rocka Rolla with Painkiller - now that's a change of style.

Rant about injustice now over...as you were.

[rage_h87]

Mjk

[Drone]

Wilson, for sure.

[crag]

Rob Halford

[Hells Bells]

Nooo! Chuck and Barlow on the same poll...

I'll vote on this later.

[Happy]

Matt Barlow :)

[Knifeboy]

I considered voting Wilson..
But Freddie was just in a league of his own

[Josh]

Matt Barlow.

[raz0r]

It was either Wilson or MJK

MJK won.

[Talos]

Wheres M Shadows?

[Aw3someman]

Mercury in this one. Then maybe Maynard

[Prince of Darkness]

Maynard, although I don't want him to win. Patton all the way

[i am the robots]

Only 9 votes for Schuldiner? That is a travesty...

[jaco jr]

schuldiner or halford?
schuldiner methinks, but only cos of how awesome his gtarring was too RIP

[i am the robots]

Plus it's the anniversary of his death :upset:.

[jaco jr]

Plus it's the anniversary of his death :upset:.
yeah great guy, great guy
shame i never had the chance to see him live
although my first ever gig(big one) was seeing halford and he was so awesome
stil schuldiner rules
RIP greatly missed man

[Knifeboy]

I need to hear more of Schuldiner.. What's Death's best album?

[jaco jr]

I need to hear more of Schuldiner.. What's Death's best album?
leprosy in my opinion

[guitarded_chuck]

Definitely Chuck! Amazing vocalist.

[Lunch]

Couldn't not vote for Freddie.

[Mazeppa]

Chuck!

[temporary]

Wow, this poll is a toughie. The Tool fanboys will bring Keenan through without a doubt, but I love Vedders voice. I also love Dylan's voice to pieces, but he just shouldn't win a poll based on vocal ability. I will probably just vote for Freddie...

[superpeer]

Chuck.

[i am the robots]

That's what I like to see.

[lionelhutz88]

Chuck, though it looks like his chances are slipping away...

[YDload]

Wheres M Shadows?

Well whose dick did you THINK you were sucking? Get out of here fag.

[Shadows]

Definitely Chuck.

People around here just don't know how to appreciate metal's founding fathers. :angry:

[YDload]

Yeah, that's why Halford is losing.

[Shadows]

It would also explain why he's tied with Chuck.

<-<
>->

[superpeer]

I need to hear more of Schuldiner.. What's Death's best album?

You're not gonna get a straight answer for that, I've heard pretty much every single Death album stated as a favourite. Really, you can't go wrong.

Just remember that Scream Bloody Gore and Leprosy are still full fledged raw Death metal and the last one is a technical, jazzy, progressive metal album. (Sound of Perseverance). The ones in between are a progression towards that last one, all great, though.

[Joe]

Freddie Mercury (Queen) 52 28.11%
Maynard James Keenan (Tool) 35 18.92%

If Maynard ends up beating Mercury, I'm going to cry.

[classicrockman]

Freddie Mercury.

Sorry Rob and Eric, but I must. :upset:

[Joe]

Freddie Mercury.

Sorry Rob and Eric, but I must. :upset:

Exactly how I felt. It would be a tought 2nd place choice, but I had to vote Freddie Mercury

[rhcp pman]

I voted for Barlow - he deserves to go through. However, from the backup vocals that I've heard Wilson doing on Opeth's Blackwater Park, he seems pretty good as well. I'll need to get around to listening to more Porcupine Tree.

[Manticore Guy]

Chuck- I love his work. Period.

[Huber]

I voted Barlow, but he deserves to go through along with Mercury and Halford.

[Poofy 666]

Chuck!!!!

[Shout it Out]

HALFORD.

Look before you leap
Has never been the way we keep
Our road is free
Charging to the top
And never give in never stops
The way to be
Hold on to the lead
With all your will and concede
You'll find there's life
With VIIIICTORY on HIGHHHH!!!!

-Freewheel Burning

[Stormrider]

Where have all the Barlow fans gone to ?

[Time]

Chucks a great guitarist, but I dont love his vocals. But I'm not sure if Ive heard good Death stuff. Whats his best song vocally?

[TheDMV]

Bob Dylan. (UR)

[i am the robots]

I still say Chuck deserves it!

/whores

[Knifeboy]

Just remember that Scream Bloody Gore and Leprosy are still full fledged raw Death metal and the last one is a technical, jazzy, progressive metal album. (Sound of Perseverance). The ones in between are a progression towards that last one, all great, though.


Sounds like Sound of Perseverance would be the one most likely to be in my taste.. Thanks for the recommendation :)

[Voyage34]

Mr Wilson gets my vote. Although I like MJK just as much... probably more as a singer, but not all round.

[Juicy_Forlorn]

Wilson. I seem to be unnaturally obsessed with Porcupine Tree and I just love his vocals.

*dreamy sigh*
:p

[G_Mac07]

I'm surprised to see Chuck doing as well as he is. Good stuff. :thumb:

[rhcp pman]

Chucks a great guitarist, but I dont love his vocals. But I'm not sure if Ive heard good Death stuff. Whats his best song vocally?
I guess it depends what you want in a vocalist. My favourite thing about Chuck is his awesome scream. Nice screams in their cover of Painkiller.

[Kronos]

Not bad, but not as good as the original - the vocalist on which is also up there and not doing very well

People shouldn't try and cover that song, it doesn't need it, and they will fail.

[Interstate]

Freddie Mercury

[Kyle]

The biased descriptions annoy me, if you don't like somebody you should get somebody who does to write the description.

/votes axl

[Knifeboy]

Steven Wilson needs more votes

[DeusExMachina]

Steven Wilson. What a gangster.

[Wish]

Matt Barlow for the win.

[Quiksilver26]

halford should definitely not lose this round...

[toasting with giles]

Wilson, Wilson, Wilson!

Agreed.

[Apocalypticon]

Chuck Schuldiner all the way

[Stormrider]

Come on guys, Barlow is in 6th place..:(

[rhcp pman]

...Barlow should Be doing Better Bitches... :smash: But the vocalists above him are also very good - so he's a bit unlucky.

[scenesfromatheater]

Mjk.

[YDload]

The biased descriptions annoy me, if you don't like somebody you should get somebody who does to write the description.

/votes axl

I already did that in the first round. Everyone was given the opportunity to write something about a singer, but it's not my fault that some of the ones who weren't covered also happened to be singers I didn't care for.

But none of that matters because Axl DID have his own bio. I just didn't feel like copying it over, not for anyone else either.

[Otherside]

Three way tie :\
