yyzsantabarbara and mapman,

The new David Byrne HBO concert video is amazing. It’s called American something (I forget). It’s also available on vinyl. There are a dozen performers, and their use of sets (or lack of them) is so creative. I was mesmerized. Don’t miss it!

The one and only: Mike Patton

Mr. Bungle
Faith no More
Fantomas
Tomahawk
Dead Cross
Mondo Cane

(to name a few he has been in...)

It's called American Utopia.

Sting ... "endless" ...

Jesse Colin Young ...

Both my parents were professional singers and taught me what to look for in a voice...if they were alive, they would both say Steve Perry...no other competition.

James Dewar

Ian Anderson

It would have to be Freddie Mercury.

Geddy Lee- laying down serious bass chops and singing... no one could ever replace him.
There are SO many though. Most of the top ones have already made the list.

Surprised nobody has mentioned Brad Delp - Boston. Songs were great and sound was unique, but not sure if they would have been as popular without Brad

I can’t believe nobody mentioned Bono.
mickeydee, I’m ashamed with what your parents taught that you let this exceptional voice miss your radar.
going back a bit, Frankie Valli’s 4 octave abilities are still unmatched.

Mapman, if you’re gonna come up with a new schoolyard game, you have to tighten up on the rules.
like, bands with multiple vocalists at the same time, which one is mvp as opposed to bands that had multiple leads at different times, which is mvp.
theres no value to choosing geddy lee. How many songs did Neil pert sing on?
however, in the Beatles case even Ringo did lead vocals on probably a dozen chart hitting songs ( some as solo artist) so choosing an mvp on that band has merit. By the way, I like George Harrison’s vocals.
here’s a gimme: who would be the mvp on Simon & Garfunkel?

Tough to pick one MVP but the top two Mick no.1 and Paul second without either there is no Stone or Beatles. Mick gets my nod simply for longevity and you could flip that rank if you are talking about their impact on rock and roll and society.
Jager
McCartney
Plant
