A not broken picture of Thom Yorke.

And if the broken one gets fixed, well, two pictures of good ol' Thom never killed anyone.

And Geoff Rickly, in the front of this picture. He looks a bit sickly, but he always does. ^^

EDIT: Grrr. The picture of thom does not want to show up as a picture.

Quote from: Storm Rider

Since when did Wright sing anything?

Since 1967? He sang harmonies on Astronomy Domine and lead vocals on about a dozen songs before Meddle. He has lead vocal on the bridge of Time as well...
He does harmonies all the time. On their last album he sung the song Wearing The Inside Out, and did bits of Hey You and Run Like Hell on their last tour.

Antony, of course

Granted, he's not one of the greats in terms of vocal ability, but it fills me with happiness to hear Frank Black's voice when I can.

Sufjan Stevens is a-ok, in my book.

Cedric Bixler Zavala, mentioned above.

Oh, and who could forget..

The Locust! and, you know, that guy that does vocals for them..

Helloween ftw. I don't care if power metal is a cheesy genre.

Also:

Bruce Dickinson.

Ronnie James Dio.

Jim Morrison. I mean, come ON, people.

And if Freddie Mercury hasn't been mentioned yet, SHAME ON YOU ALL. Even if you don't like Queen's music, the guy could friggin' sing.

You thread-people are sucky.

Cam Pipes (3 Inches of Blood)

Screw you haters. The original metal God. Ozzy Osbourne (At least before 1981)

Oh LAWD yeah.

Abbath Doom Occulta (IMMORTAL)

Casey Chaos (Amen, Scum)

Tony Wakeford (Death in June, Sol Invictus etc.)

Anna-Varney Cantonadea (Sopor Aeternus & The Ensemble of Shadows)

Technically transgendered, but screw that. He/she rules.

Just a SHORT round-up of the many missed.

I'll also back up Dio, Freddy, Bruce and Dylan.

Also, I second Stevie Wonder, David Byrne, Danzig, Animal, Dio, and mother fuckin' Toots.

Also, I second the Eagles sucking. Really, they do suck a lot.

More:

E again. Seriously.

Jimi Hendrix (I find it mind-blowing that the man was embarassed of his singing voice...)

James Mathus (in the hat) of the Squirrel Nut Zippers

Commander Cody
