Thanks LG!

Mickey Thomas is one of my all time favorites yet it saddens me how underrated he is. I grew up on Jefferson Starship since my dad was a huge fan.

Some great lists gents, keep 'em coming!

 

[Lynch]

A list of 25 would be MUCH easier for me to do than a list of 10 (which I have a very hard time with). I'm not very good at narrowing it down because of how many bands, vocalists, guitarists, etc that I like.

I'll work on my list.

Well, not putting a huge amount of thought into it, so I'm sure I could replace one person and remove another, but oh well.


In no particular order, other than maybe the top 5 or so:

Ronnie James Dio
Rob Halford
Don Dokken
Geoff Tate
Sebastian Bach
Jeff Keith
Waylon Jennings
Michael Matijevic
Paul Stanley
David Coverdale
Prince
Elton John
Billy Joel
Jack Russell
Pat Benatar
Ann Wilson
Klause Meine
Paul Rodgers
Freddie Mercury
Steve Perry
Ozzy Osbourne
James Hetfield
Joe Lynn Turner
Bruce Dickenson
Ray Gillen

1. Freddie Mercury
2. Ronnie James Dio
3. Paul Rogers
4. Elton John
5. Steve Perry
6. Janis Joplin
7. Mike Patton
8. James LaBrie
9. Luciano Pavarotti

With the exception of the #1 slot this list is always susceptible to change but for the time being I am satisfied with it.
