Entre_Perpetuo Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 Everyone has a vote 4 hours to go Anyone up for a Gods Of Rock Vocals poll ?? Would certainly be fine with that.

Too many better voices to choose from. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the setting of this forum, he probably won't advance, you're probably right, and I probably wouldn't even vote for him myself as I was never really the hugest Linkin Park fan. But I won't say that he couldn't hold his own against a lot of the greats. Cornell, Dio, Brian Johnson. I'd say Bennington could go toe to toe with all of them. Now Mercury, or Halford, or Plant is another story... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HemiBeers Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 I'd be more interested in a bass players poll. I call a Geddy vs Chris Squire final. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cornell might've been a bit more expressive across the board, but Chester's pure rage is enough to square him up with Chris imo. I can see where you're coming from with Dio, but I still disagree.

If 20-30, he probably would. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucas Posted November 7, 2017 Author Share Posted November 7, 2017 (edited) Everyone has a vote 4 hours to go Anyone up for a Gods Of Rock Vocals poll ?? Would certainly be fine with that. Dio and Rob Halford need to be in it though. Would female vocalists be included in that? If not, why not? Fearing that she'd feel left out, I would definitely include Boots Getting 120 guitarists went quick - this poll could have easily been 160 or 200 Vocalists, let me start jotting names down ... The thing about including both male and female is that a lot of the very good fringe nominees would get left out .... Sure, Lonnie Mack and Roy Buchanan ( for example ) didn't have a chance to with this poll, but it was interesting to see if they were going to get any votes, and if so, who cast them ( .. and both guys did receive votes ) So if the vocalist poll is male only ( with a female vocalists poll definitely coming next ), I think it would be interesting to include some odd names here and there .. . .

Lucas Posted November 7, 2017 Author Share Posted November 7, 2017 (edited) Also, with a male rock vocalist poll, there would be room for everyone - not necessarily just metal - David Bowie, Bob Dylan, Peter Gabriel, Roger Daltrey etc .. Seeing the different styles go up against each other would be fun .. You know the final 10 would be heavyweights Edited November 7, 2017 by Lucas 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd maneuver performers into specific sections in an attempt to eliminate people you don't want AND to have the big guns (who you want) go as deep as possible. http://thetwinfactor.files.wordpress.com/2017/01/trickster-axel-walker-flash-dc-comics.jpg?w=526&h=263 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
