Nate, why must you always ruin my threads?

Michael Stipe


Dan McCafferty


Alice Cooper


John Fogerty


Jim Morrison

Frank Zappa (The Mothers of Invention)- I think alot of people are like, "What the heck? shut up and play yer guitar Frank!" but I've always thought his vocals were really cool.

Danny Elfman (Oingo Boingo) - This guy can go all over he place and make his voice do a bunch of really cool things.

Claudio Sanchez.

aaron weiss.

if you dont know who that is, YOU FAIL AT LIFE.

EDIT: i don't think he falls under rock or roll but he falls under PURE AWESOME so he qualifies to be put here anyway.

Roy Khan from one of my favorite bands, Kamelot, hands down. He's got great range while still sounding like a man even when he's going high.

Him singing Karma and then taking his voice down a bit for Abandonded. And then him going up pretty high for the intro of Edge of Paradise.

And did I mention he sounds much better live than on the studio albums? So ya he gets my vote. I wish I sounded like him but alas, I do not :'(. Oh well...

Dustin Kensrue of Thrice
Aaron Weiss of mewithoutYou
Jim Adkins of Jimmy Eat World
Stephen Christian of Anberlin
Casey Crescenzo of The Dear Hunter

There are most certainly more, but that's all that currently comes to mind. XD

Also, Billy Joel.

Of course, you realize that guitars have been used in many types of music before and after the advent of rock and roll, yes?

Also, Billy Joel is a pop singer. An excellent pop singer and one of my favorite vocalists overall, but definitely pop.

However, I think in recent times genre boundaries have become extremely blurred so as to make them nearly meaningless, especially when people want to create so many new sub-genres. With bands encompassing so many different nuances and influences, one has to agree with Billy Joel that "there's a new band in town, but you can't get the sound from a story in a magazine . . ."

DON'T YOU DARE ARGUE WITH MY JOKE POST. IT WILL NOT ARGUE BACK. XDDD

And as long as we're quoting Billy Joel, "next phase, new wave, dance craze, anyways it's still rock 'n roll to me."

XD

Here's mine:
*Stephen Christian of Anberlin, as Corrie said.
*The lead singer of Guns N' Roses, whose name I forgot
*Pat Benatar
*Ronnie James Dio
{'s all I can think of at the moment.^^}

You mean Axel Rose?

OOC: Isn't Dio the guy that did some stuff with Sabbath after Ozzy got fired?

I believe you mean Axl Rose. /pedantic

And yes, Dio sang lead vocals for Black Sabbath for a while.

I can't believe I forgot Meatloaf! That guy can sing!

I actually don't listen to much rock and roll. Mostly because most rock and roll vocalists annoy me. The band "Stereo Motion", did have a pretty good singer, however. It is a pity they only released one album.

Bryan Nance:
Rock song.
Slow song.


Also, I noticed that this is Rocklobster's 500th thread. Quite a milestone.

David Gilmore-Pink Floyd
Scooter Ward-Cold
Andrew Schwab=Project 86
Till Lindemann-Rammstein

How could I forget Gilmour!? Well... Too late now.

I also kinda forgot Kurt Cobain. Even though he is Grunge, it is a variation of Rock, and also, he's just awesome.
