Greatest singers

Hmmm... interesting mix of favorites.

Male:
Cory Taylor from Slipknot. He can scream with the best of them, and sing beautifully too. Check out Bother by his side project, Stone Sour. Awesome....

Chris Cornell. I don't have to add anything else here....

Ian Gillan from Deep Purple.

Rob Halford ......from back in the day at least.


Female:
I'll start this with a pair of Kate's:

Kate Peirson from the B-52's. She's one of my favorites. Never mind the cheesy crap they wrote...listen to her execution. Wow.

Kate Bush. Anytime you hear female back-up vocals on a Peter Gabriel album ("Don't give up" for example...and that's her in the video too. She's HOT.) it's probably her. She was a HUGE success in England. Never caught on here. Too bad.....

Sarah Vaughn is up there too... Along with Billy Holiday.

Shirley Manson from Garbage. I saw them live at Roseland in Manhattan one night and I left totally floored.... She's one of THE best out there.

And as for my in-between gender vote:

Marilyn Manson. Say what you want, but unless you've experienced one of his shows, you have to take my word. Being in a crowd of luanatics all singing along to "Beautiful People" is mind-numbing. :-D
