Random Meaningless Top 10 List, Volume 1
Memes run the gamut of everything from retarded "What ______ Are You?" tests to the awesome "Friday Top 10/20" that this blog has indulged in a coupla times. However, my mp3 hard drive being inoperative at the timew being, I have had to forgo this, much to the dismay of no one in particular. Therefore, I have arrived at the deision to outstretch my worthless opinions in the form of meaningless lists for "teh Fridays". (Yes, I know it's Saturday, shut up I'm late.) Hopefully, people will comment on such things and possibly post thier own versions of my meaningless lists on thier blogs/poopjournals/myspaces/etch it into thier forearms/etc.
Also hopefully, I'll actually keep up with such things, as I am not known to do much of anything on time.
Top 10 Working Male Rock Vocalists
(meaning vocalists of rock bands that are singing right now. No, right NOW. Were this a list of greatest rock vocalists ever, it would be much more predictable)
10. DEVIN TOWNSEND, Strapping Young Lad/Devin Townsend Band. The man is quite literally insane. His vocal style reflects that perfectly; look him up sometime.
9. LAJON WHITHERSPOON, Sevendust. The band may suck, but Lajon sings with more soul in his voice than all his contemporaries combined.
8. PETER STEELE, Type O Negative. One of the most recognizable voices in metal.
7. CEDRIC BIXLER ZAVALA, The Mars Volta. Yes, I am biased. Fuck you, he's fucking good.
6. DAMON ALBARN, Blur/Gorillaz. British rockers who hit falsettos are awesome.
5. BONO, U2. I really hate to admit it, since I don't really like them, but the man can SING.
4. THOM YORKE, Radiohead. Duh.
3. CHRIS CORNELL, Audioslave/ex-Soundgarden. Criminally underrated (and presently somewhat underutilized in Audioslave) vocalist, one of the best from the early 90's.
2. MIKE PATTON, ex-Faith No More/Fantomas/Tomahawk/a dozen others. The man can make his voice do anything.
1. MAYNARD JAMES KEENAN, Tool/A Perfect Circle. I swear, the musical note hasn't been written that he can't hit. This is a Robert Plant-during-Led Zeppelin II kind of awesome.
So there you go. Yes, I did throw it together in a matter of 15 minutes, so take them wth a grain of salt. Also, don't expect all those explanations all the time, since that took the longest to do, and I don't always have that kind of time.
