BEST BAND EVER: Results!

[Night Prowler]

Dio was Dio. Sebastian Bach was never anything special.

Neil Fallon is good, but Simone Simons is one of the best female vocalists ever.

So easy round IMO.

Lynott
Gillan

If Ian Gillan loses this round I'll eat my hat and quit this forum.

Simone Simons is one of the best female vocalists ever

Fixed. It's considered sexist to label female vocalists as female, apparently. We are supposed to refer to them as vocalists instead.

sexist

A bullshit insinuation that I will report.

Crazy Bastard Serb

 

[Brigantium]

Not crazy about either of the first two, but Nicks is too pipey to go any further IMO. Lynott. Gillan all the way in the second pair.

The first match is two singers far more about tone than skill. There are few who will ever get my vote over Phil. The veiled sadness, the twinkle, the lilt - especially delivering those lyrics. Dont underestimate his versatility. He had the ability to do poignant and badass equally well. I could listen to him read an algebra textbook.

Al got here as a joke against bad competition. The competition this time is anything but.
Perfect Strangers is a great example of the world-weary roughness Gillan added as he got older.

How long will the poll be open?

 

[The Dissident]

Stevie and Ian. While I really enjoyed seeing Al I can't vote against Ian. Also never been a big Thin Lizzy fan.

 

[Night Prowler]

First match might the closest one ever for me in this game. I rate neither too high, but Phil was a bit more unique, so he gets my vote. And for this type of game, Gillan is the only choice in the 2nd game.

Although parodies with Rush and Iommi on instruments would be interesting to hear.

[Black Wizard]

Anneke van Giersbergen (THE GATHERING, THE GENTLE STORM, VUUR) vs.
Geoff Tate (QUEENSRŸCHE)

After all that effort to get her through as one of the top runners up she ends up against Geoff Tate and his knife again.

I'll just assume that everyone who votes for Geoff Tate supports knife wielding maniacs.

 

[The Dissident]

Tate and Klaus

A fair and accurate assumption.
