There is more, but I am done typing.

Freddie Mercury consistently makes me shit my pants. He put everything into those performances.

Cedric Bixler-Zavala is the shit too, at least the stuff he did in ATDI. Too lazy to name more atm

That is a fine list Tyrrannosaurus.

Damon Albarn, Thurston Moore, and Isaac Brock for sure.

Oh yeah, but for me ONLY the ATDI stuff. He was awesome back when he couldn't really sing.

That implies he can sing now

Oh and fuck all y'all, Ronnie van Zant

Well, obviously not really, but his range goes up a bit more than it did then. I much prefer when he would just scream whenever it got too high, rather than going into some silly headvoice/falsetto shit.

Seriously. I still enjoy a decent amount of TMV though, even though I know you hate them I wish that their first full length had been written by At the Drive-In. Woulda been really cool.

Yeah, I am more into the new school approach to singing.

That is, not singing very well at all

OH ya forgot one.....
