  Danke, though it's really an unfair list as there are many who I haven't mentioned. LOL
  As long as you don't hear me sing you'll be ok. Anyone who hears me trying to try to sing
  is scarred for life!

  Re: Mike Scott, he's a great song writer as well.

        I dunno- with the people who rate themselves as the best singer in the world- Maynard Keenan, Sebastian Bach, James Blunt, Courtney Love- that claim is so big it seems like a joke, with Keenan's the most obviously so. Keith Richards puts himself in at the end, so I suspect that's not entirely serious either.



        The one that bothers me the most is Ozzy. Did he really sit down and work out that he is the sixth greatest singer in the world??? Aside from the practical arguments (Ozzy hasn't been even a good singer in decades), it's just too *precise*. It sounds like he might actually believe that, which is bloody scary.



        Jim.

Heh, an online article from Rolling Stone that is actually
worth

a look. They


have an online article showing some 24 ballots from various rock n'

roll


musicians picking their favorite top 20 singers.  Of course,

there's some


bizarre picks, some ass-kissing and some massive egos (Maynard from

Tool shows


why he *is* a tool).  James Hetfield from Metallica lists Jaz

among his favorite


singers:
