...and I'm sure I'm forgetting a few others.

This list should surprise roughly no one.

I think Billy Corgan made just about every list?

Except mine (purely because I forgot to list him).

Considering how many people can't stand his voice, this amuses me greatly.

I think he's awesome, always have. I like quirky voices, though.

His voice does have a very emotional feel to it.
You can tell he's not just pretending to follow the mood of his songs, it sounds like he's really in that mindset as he sings them.

In The Arms Of Sleep and Bodies are very good examples, IMO.
Cupid De Locke and Spaceboy are great as well.

I get that impression too. He seems slightly, er, off and I like that in an artist as opposed to merely a performer.

Most of my favorite vocalists are quirky.

I like quirky vocalists.

I know someone the same way. Her favourite vocalists are Mave and Ozzy.

Your girlfriend?

Yes.

It must be annoying that I mention her frequently. But like, I am with her 40% of each week, so it's hard to avoid.

Secretly, Barbara posts under my guise from time to time.

It is frightening, I know.

Ouch.

It is not annoying at all.


I did and would still do the same had BPG not bailed on me with that weakass non-slickness.

K. Because some people can't tolerate that shit.

It does not bother me at all.


It is merely apart of your life, which we Maplitonians tend to share with each other.
It's what makes us more than just boring, useless avatars with text to the right of it.

Yes, exactly. It's hard not to mention when the bulk of my leisure time is spent in her presence.


So you're still seeing each other then?
