[VickyH]

FOR sure MYSELF!

 

[neal]

i saw a few mike pattons for faith no more, but what about MR BUNGLE? he's a fuckin schizo lunatic on those albums. better than anything else he's done (not that ive heard it all, i just like to make sweeping generalizations claiming that mr bungle rules harder than anyone else ever)!

 

[buzz21]

I think WD and Akerfeldt are gimmes for the top 2, but good to see both King Diamond and Tori Amos making an appearance on some lists. I know Ozzy has declined steadily over the years but he is the godfather.

I debated about putting Ozzy on my list...
Yes he's on the top for influence for sure
But his vocals are sub par compared to some of the other people listed.

I should have put him as an honourable mention
