singers

ala hi fideilty I wanted to make a lists category. when I was in high school, I used to constantly worry about who my top 5 favorite guitarists were, I can't even remember it now but I think slash was on it and eric clapton. this morning on the way to work I was listening to an old faith no more record on my new ipod and missing mike patton and singers of his calibre in general. something awful said it best:

I’m sure this has happened to you: you’re tuned to your local modern rock station, listening to Linkin Park quietly lamenting the death of rock and roll, when suddenly a song comes on that you don’t immediately recognize; miraculously, it doesn’t sound super-compressed and mashed together with Pro Tools. You can actually hear the sound of real guitars and drums. Just as you’re starting to get curious, you realize that the station’s randomized computer playlist has simply hit upon its monthly spin of, for example, Don’t Look Back in Anger by Oasis. Your face flushes with shame and rage as you realize that Oasis, no matter how severely they sucked in 1994, are starting to sound comparatively pretty good. Maybe, you think, if Oasis was brand new in 2004, it would be the best new band around. Do you know what this is called? This is called pure human tragedy.

so I decided to make a list! I gotta list, here's the order of my list that it's in ;)
starting off in no particular order

1. mike patton
2. axl rose
3. chris cornell
4. freddie mercury
