Brian Wilson (Why is Brian never mentioned? Is there anyone who had better falsetto?) The answer to that question is "probably not" and I don't know how I neglected to list Brian. |

Another one I failed to mention is Roky Erickson. The word "underrated" gets thrown around a lot, but I think it definitely applies in Roky's case.

Freddie Mercury and I know its kinda like...eye rolling typical cause of my name, and Nirvana being overrated which somehow means bad, or whatever, but Kurt Cobain. His voice could sound real good.
But yeah, its always Freddie Mercury...

In terms of vocal abilities, it's hard to go past Ronnie James Dio. I saw him play with the rest of Sabbath a few months back and it was f***ing amazing!
In terms of attitude though it's hard to go past Paul Di'Anno,
