1- John Lennon

wow, that's a tough question... i don't think i could have
a top 3 because there's so many different factors to
consider, but some of my favorites are Ogre (skinny
puppy/ohgr), Mike Patton (mr bungle/fantomas), Buzz Osborne
(melvins), Kevin Sharp (brutal truth), Jennifer Charles
(elysian fields/lovage), Lou Barlow (sebadoh), and Shannon
Selberg (cows).

Hmm,

Very hard to answer this one :s

Mainly because I hear really good vocals but have no idea
who's singing them.

Jeff Buckley
Eddie Vedder

Those are the two first that come to mind. It's a bit harder
to find the third one though...

I have to agree on Ophecks, vocal makes it or brakes it for
me also.

Maynard James Keenan
Daniel Bejar of Destroyer (often compared to Bowie)
Chris Cornel

Those are just off the top of my head :S
I like pretty much anyone that does lots of harmonies or
sings high. The Beatles, Sloan, Flashing Lights, etc.
and I love when Beck does his falsetto.

you think you're clever don't you?!! :P

seriously though, i was thinking that there should be a
spin-off poll about people's favourite mcs... cause i don't
really care to intermingle the mcing with other forms of
lyrical performance... (that statement seems really
finnicky because i'm trying not to call tricky "rock")
