[kj] Jaz Coleman Among Top Singers

[B. Oliver Sheppard]

Peter Murphy is a good call. He's compared to Bowie but honestly I enjoy 
Murphy's vox more than Bowie's. If I had a top 20, I'd put him in that. 
But I like the black-haired crooners (Presley/Orbison/Vanian/Danzig, who 
are all in my list) - what can I say?

I like Jaz's voice a lot because he can alternate at will between his 
posh, post-punk (I would say "New Romantic" but that would piss off Mr. 
Alex Smith!) vocal style ("A New Day") and his dinosaur, Lemmy-roar 
vocal style at will. Wish I could do that.
