    Figured I'd make something for the offseason.. list your favorite vocalists of all time, not particularly just for talent, but style/versatility/sound whatever, not just "best" or "he's better than x" kind of stuff.. your preferences.

    Mine:

    Lead Singers:

    1. Chino Moreno - Deftones (sound & style)
    2. Johnny Craig / Kurt Travis - Dance Gavin Dance [same band, different times, tie]
    3. Jay Forrest - Hopesfall (versatile)
    4. Nick Hexum - 311 (sound & style)
    5. Freddy Mercury - Queen (skill)
    6. Jonathan Davis - Korn (sound, Issues and earlier albums)
    7. Lauryn Hill
    8. Dolores O'Riordon - Cranberries
    9. Kevin Palmer - TRUSTcompany (sound.. very unique)
    10. Geoff Rickly - Thursday (sound & emotion)

    Screamers/Backup Vocals:

    1. Jon Mess - Dance Gavin Dance (sound and lyrics)
    2. Casey Calvert - Hawthorne Heights (early albums) [R.I.P.]
    3. Shawn Grover - The Beautiful Mistake (rawness)
    4. Doug Martinez - 311

    Will probably add more as I think of them. List yours and check some of those out ..worth it :D
