that was rushed. VERY RUSHED.

[QUOTE=guns_n_roses=Slash+Axl]just make a poll for that sourta of thing.[/QUOTE]
He's going to make polls after this, 'tard.

In other news this is going to be insanely hard to poll on...I like so many names listed so far. There should be more diversity in metal vocalists though :-\

[QUOTE=guns_n_roses=Slash+Axl]just make a poll for that sourta of thing.[/QUOTE]

I'm guessing you didn't read the whole first post. This is the nominations forum for the poll that is to come.

Tojes- Jens Kidman

xi;aslkdjfwerera- Sorry about butchering your name, but just keep in mind you need at least 15. Just a heads up to everyone. :)

1. Bruce Dickinson (Iron Maiden)
2. Ian Anderson (Jethro Tull)
3. Abbath (Immortal)

My absolute top three. Dickinson is amazing, Ian is amazing, and nobody else sounds quite like Abbath.

4. Hansi Kürsch (Blind Guardian)
5. Mads Haarløv (Iniquity)
6. David Byrne (Talking Heads)
7. Jon Oliva (Savatage)
8. Messiah Marcolin (Candlemass)
9. Floor Jansen (After Forever)
10. Antti Boman (Demilich)
11. Jus Oborn (Electric Wizard)
12. Vintersorg (Borknagar/Otyg/Vintersorg)
13. Tarja Turunen (Nightwish)
14. Mikael Akerfeldt (Bloodbath/Opeth)
15. Lou Reed (The Velvet Underground)

Johnny Cash is a country singer. Some of you guys are just being ridiculous.

Other than that I can't see too many other problems. Some people don't read threads but they will just have to suffer with not getting their votes counted in the future :)

Edited in.

Maynard James Keenan(Tool, APC)
Brandon Boyd(Incubus)
Kirk Windstein(Crowbar)

Mother****er. You do not know how many times I hit the back button while typing this list, and had to type the whole thing over. It was like 7 times.

[QUOTE=HeavyRiva]YD, are we going on vocal talent [i]and[/i] stage presence?[/QUOTE]

Stage presence is irrelevant to this contest. Otherwise Maynard would be in a sorry position since he just sort of cowers in a dark corner behind the drummer, dressed in funny costumes. I don't think it works, especially since his voice is too good to be brought down by taking his stage presence into consideration.

Let's just leave it alone for now.

1. Mike Patton (Must I list?)
2. Mikael Åkerfeldt (Opeth)
3. David Gilmour (Pink Floyd)
4. Clint Boge (The Butterfly Effect)

12. James Hetfield (Metallica)
13. Chris Cornell (Soundgarden)
14. Elton John
15. Jewel
16. Layne Staley (Alice In Chains)
