Like, do I want to be able to sing like Yow, or to be able to sing like Bono?

Maybe both? Both is my answer. I would like to sing like Yow and Bono.

I'm with you on this. Well not Bono but perhaps Gordon Downie (the tragically hip) for his interesting vocal tics. For female voice i'd pick Alison Krause because she's talented both with a pleasant voice and with her use of other instuments. But really i'd like Robert Plant because I hate the sound of my own voice when played back to me.

SEE-EEE-NIIIIIILLLLLE!!!!") to sound right.  i'm not too bad at it.  i havn't tried singing stripsearch for the longest time, but i'll have a go...

I can nail those, but I can't quite hit the 'senile' yet. I can do the voice, but not hit the higher note. And the chorus of 'Stripsearch' is crazy low.

They decided to fill it with a cover of Black Sabbath for no reason instead?

i dunno, the "Stripsearch" chorus sounds like he's just talking deeply rather than actually singing, in which case it isn't too hard, but that's actually singing at a ridiculously low pitch, then yeah, that's pretty insane!

and "for no reason" is pretty harsh on the "War Pigs" cover - to me, that's the definitive version!  i listen to it way more than the original!  there's also the added bonus that if you do "War Pigs" at karaoke and sing it like Patton does, people who haven't heard the FNM version think you're putting your own spin on it, and buy you drinks afterwards!  i did that, and actually ran off the little stage thing to go buy a drink during the instrumental parts in the middle of the song  :evil:

Listen to her stuff from before she worked with Robert Plant. You will change your mind. Did such a shitty cover of Keith Whitley that he re-animated just so he could drink himself to death again.
