BEST BAND EVER: Results!

[Brigantium]

Phil Collins v Stu Block?!!!

 

[Brigantium]

Edit - forgot we only choose one.

Buckley is a great singer, but my preference is for more power and flair on the higher notes, and as Diesel has already said; if we were putting together our ultimate band here, a more typical metal voice is a better fit. I like Marcolin a lot better. Phil Collins' voice, while technically good, has a bit of a twang that grates on me. Stu Block is a very versatile singer. His material outside of Iced Earth has far more scope than being a cut price Barlow. Definitely voting Stu Block.

Phil Collins is the only singer here that I'd care to listen to. Jeff Buckley is talented, but his tone doesn't do it for me.

 

[MrKnickerbocker]

Voted Stu because I’m most familiar with him, but I find everyone in this round to be either kinda weird or boring.

 

[Mosh]

Considering our rhythm section is probably going to be Rush, Phil Collins isn’t a bad choice from the supergroup perspective.

Considering our rhythm section is probably going to be Rush, Phil Collins isn’t a bad choice from the supergroup perspective.

It's very likely that all of Rush ends up in this band.

 

[Mosh]

So if we’re voting based on who fits our hypothetical band the best, Stu Block is not a good choice.

The prospect of Rush being our “best band ever” is funny and actually not all that surprising. As far as I can remember, they are the one non-Maiden band that is consistently able to get large amounts of participants in survivors/discography threads. It also speaks to their strengths as individuals musicians as well as a full band.

 

[Night Prowler]

If I had to take a guess, this will end up as the Band Band Ever:

Freddie Mercury, Tony Iommi + all of Rush

 

[Mosh]

I can see it, but don’t underestimate the Petrucci vote.

 

[Night Prowler]

But Iommi already won, and Lifeson is 2nd

 

[MrKnickerbocker]

This one has gone on for so long that I can’t even remember who has won what already...

We only have vocals and drums left, right?

My hope is for: Dio + Iommi + Geddy and Neil = prog/doom super group

 

[Mosh]

But Iommi already won, and Lifeson is 2nd

This game is so old that it helped Moses part the Red Sea.

 

[LooseCannon]

Neil will win drummers by virtue of being the greatest drummer of all time.

 

[Ariana]

If that's shaping up to be the best band ever, I'm never going to listen to that band.

Like Buckley's work a lot, he's a great singer and the one I prefer from the lot. I never liked Messiah and I'm a Candlemass fan but still a decent vocalist. Not an Iced Earth fan but that Stu Block guy is really beyond capable and a powerhouse technically speaking... really excels in his genre so he gets my vote.

P.S. : The only thing I'll say about that other guy is that his voice is not bad by any means (far from it) but IMO he should've been tied to the drum kit away from any singing device.

 

[karljant]

If that's shaping up to be the best band ever, I'm never going to listen to that band.

Hey... at least it has Tony Iommi.

Maidenfans showing its metalhead muscles by voting Stu Block over Phil Collins and Jeff Buckley.

We are who we are.

 

[Saapanael]

I can see it, but don’t underestimate the Petrucci vote.

Didn't Petrucci lose against Dave Mustaine or something crazy like that? I might be wrong, as you said the game is old.

I'm also not particularly thrilled by any of the vocalists in this group, but based on the songs posted, I gotta go with Stu.
