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.

 

and Cornell and Bennington :(

e) Van Halen fans might have the tendency to wake up in the afternoon, and will log on and vote after sobering up

Really, Jimi was a no-brainer. There should be a poll for #2

With this list it's a questions of what kinds of things do you like. Do you like monster riffs? Great taste and tone? Impact, innovation and influence? Fretboard pyrotechnics? Originality? A mastery o

Cornell definitely.

 

Bennington could be in it but he won't advance at all. Too many better voices to choose from.

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...

He could go toe to toe with Brian Johnson but he's not even in the same league as Cornell or Dio.

I'd be more interested in a bass players poll.

 

I call a Geddy vs Chris Squire final.

Definitely disagree on Cornell. 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.

I'd hope John Deacon would make it to the semi-finals in that.

Depends on how many players are in the semis. If a mere 4-6 players, he might not. If 20-30, he probably would.

I'd put Bon Scott in ahead of Brian Johnson.

Would female vocalists be included in that? If not, why not?

 

 

 

Fearing that she'd feel left out, I would definitely include Boots

 

:LOL:

 

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 ..

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

Less than an hour left in THIS thing. Has Lifeson made a comeback yet?

When are you going to vote JB?

 

Now!!! With 11 minutes left, I'm voting for the guy who I was going to choose from the very beginning!

I'm wise to your tricks trickster! 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.

3rd place goes to a man who not only is a genius on the instrument, but also in his everyday life

 

Brian May

Jimmy Page finishing 4th is a bit of a disappointment for him though.

 

You probably forgot but he barely made the finals as it is. He squeaked in at the very last second.

Yeah but Page is a guy who usually tops polls like this with his Led Zep popularity.
