Lol, that's ok, I don't wanna listened to many Christina songs.

You decide. Christina sounds like she just wants to make some money and has no desire to put out passable music.

Well obviously if I was picking which song I like the most obviously it would be Radiohead.

If your asking me who the better singer is then obviously the first one although personally I wouldn't have either on a top 100 list.

You Radiohead fanboys can piss & whine all you like but if you seriously think Thom Yorke is one of the worlds best 100 singers you're dismissing a whole host of people who sing music that's much more dependent on the vocal melody of which he probably couldn't hold a candle to.

Why are you comparing songs and motives etc? Lol.

Because there's more to singing than just vocal range and technical ability. Arguing this is like trying to argue with Dream Theater and Satriani fans...

Pretty funny stuff. Why would anyone take Rolling Stone's list seriously when its made up of vocalists who are known (name-wise atleast), to almost everyone who subscribes to that magazine in the first place? Its all self-gratifying BS akin to the act of masterbation.

Anywayz, some comments-

1. Thom might get on some top 100 list of singers somewhere depending on the criteria involved, but I don't think it really works here considering the audience that RS usually caters to. He's not abysmal vocally, but neither is he everyone's cup of tea. I suppose he was included for sake of acknowledging the current British music scene.

2. The best way to fight a fanboy is to give them an actual example of an artist who is superior to their established idol. If they continue to bitch afterwards, then just ignore them.

3. Mike Patton's acclaimed "versatility" as a vocalist is a bit too hyped for its own good. What about Devin Townsend, Varg Vikernes, Daniel Gildenlow, Mikael Akerfeldt, Darroh Sudderth, and countless other damned-good singers who have done impressive work of their own?

Radiohead fans don't babble on about technical skill, or in this case, vocal range.

No one's saying that they shouldn't get credit in their own right. What's special about Patton is that he was so well-accomplished at many vocal stylings, such as growls, crooning, screaming, and rapping. He brought so many elements of different genres into his work. Is he overhyped? Well, sure. But it's immature to disregard him completely and his contribution to music.

Oh, and for the record, don't take me as a fanboy. I'll be the first to admit: Mike Patton is a horrible songwriter. The only good albums he's made are when he aligned himself with great musicians. Just look at Faith No More's post-Martin output. It's bloody awful.
