We need to solve this dilema.......the best SINGER EVER! who is it?

[tonemonster]

OK,

so we all know that Uli Roth is God, I mean with all his disciples, how can he not be?

so we got teh best guitarist in the world that has ever graced guitar strings with his magical divine fingers. (of course that hippie skullet and headband dont hurt either)

and everyone knows that if you mention the word "Bass" that the name Jaco Pastorius is next to it in the dictionary. him being the best bass player ever of course stands to reason because of his similar fashion trends to Uli. it must be a trait in the brain of only the best musicians in the world.

and If you mention the word Drums, an army of Neil Peart soldiers will beat you silly with drumsticks if you even think that there might be a better drummer out there. Phil Collins you say? puleez. Neil wipes his ass with liner notes from the "no jacket required" cd every day.

So who is the singer for this divine assembly of "chosen ones"????? who can stand on the pedastal with them? who is worthy of the highest honor?

Discuss.

[clifffclaven]

In no particular order... Ray gillen, geoff tate, rob halford.

[Shawn Lutz]

my favs are Jeff Scott Soto, Geoff Tate, Bruce Dickinson, Ronnie James Dio, Rob halford etc.

[Hellbat]

Me. In the shower. I fkn bring it hard!

[tonemonster]

Who is worthy of this almighty throne? I mean we are talkin Uli Roth caliber only in a singer.

[tonemonster]

on what day did god create uli??

[Nightbat]

The same day he created LSD

[tonemonster]

as with the review of Spinal Tap's "Rock & Roll creation"......... couldnt he have rested that day, too?

[atomic charvel guy]

Plant, Gillen, Gillan, Daltrey, it's the same with any instrument, there is no best,
there's just a bunch of great ones creating and offering out what they have.
It's all about the listener and how his or her ears take those offerings in. If the ears
are not clogged with shit, or covered with blinders, one can find some kind of beauty
in all kinds of music, unless of course it's Endrik's stupid "Crab Core Cakes" music. i can listen to anything,
Rock, Jazz, Disco, Swing,Classical, Top 40, Country (some of it at least) and come up with something good about it.

[AlexL]

Geoff Tate was the first name to come to my mind.

Discuss.

Bass? I am going to wimp out and deem it a tie between John Entwistle and Geddy Lee.

Drums? Tough one between Neil Peart and Mike Portnoy. Though Neil edges past in the "versatility" category.

And based on pure vesatility, is there any guitarist better than Eric Johnson?

- E.

[Rsmacker]

Yeah, Ozzy, it has to be. Hmm, yep, Ozzy, definitely, hands down.

[Scooter]

Rolling stoners says its Urethra Franklin. But WTF do they know?

sorry, didn't know that yet.
seriously, if you want a thread where singers are discussed: don't open with guitarists, bassists and drummers...
