#2 was a hard choice.

#12 was a no brainer.

 

I haven't voted yet but regarding #2 I'd go JSS. 

If it was Mark Free the outcome might be different

I saw Marcie at Firefest singing songs from the debut. Err no. Not for me

I guess I based my votes on the Artist's body of work rather than how they sound now.

I can guarantee you that right now as we speak, I'm a better singer than Elvis Presley.  ;)

true but he put Marcie Free so I have to base it on Marcie's body of work not Mark's.

The 2 bodies of work are very different in my opinion. Like 2 different artists 

And more importantly 2 different voices 

tbh I would probably have chosen JSS in any case.

Yeah, it would have been JSS either way for me also.

When it comes to "body of work" there aren't too many that can compete with Jeff*. 

 *(correct spelling BTW).

1. Illious > Slaughter. Much as I love Slaughter, I couldn't say I think much of his voice, lol. Love prime XYZ and the vocals that went with it.

2. Free > JSS. I'm taking into consideration the posts since, and basing this on Mark Free's voice, which I absolutely love/d. Much as I love JSS, I think I've mentioned before I'm not actually a particular fan of his vocals individually. 

3. Yamada > the other guy. I honestly don't know, but that dude had a bit more edge on the EZO album... I think. 

4. Leven > Ellis. How on earth did Ellis get two votes, lol. 

5. Ford > Steele. Tricky one, kind of a coin toss. I think I prefer the more lady-like Lita. 

6. Harte > Walker. On a pure vocal level, I've have to go with Harte though if I'm being honest, neither are exceptional vocalists. ;)

7. Ernlund > Atkins. This was probably the toughest of all three contests so far. These are two of my all-time favourite bands and I love both vocalists. It's actually a bit 50/50 for me. I much prefer early Ernlund to Atkins, and I honestly believe Atkins got better with age, and I prefer more recent Atkins to Ernlund quite comfortably. So flip a coin, but if I'm stacking up 'Organized Crime' against 'Jump the Gun' I think I'd go with Ernlud... I think?

8. Lawless > Dubrow. Easy one. Don't care much for DuBrow's voice and Blackie can be rough as cut balls, but he scrubs up pretty well on those ballads. 

9. Martenson > Ollie. Another tough one. Could probably go either way too, but I'll go with Martensson. 

10.  Stanley > Simmons.

11. Rachelle > Cherone. Kind of went a little against my strategy on this one. I think Cherone probably has the much better voice, technically, but I prefer Rachelle's body of work by such a distance I couldn't make any other pick. I like Rachelle's voice on early work, but his voice aged poorly. 

12. Vaughn > James. Surprised to see a couple of James votes, but for me it's Vaughn by a bit of a stretch.

I love how you explained each choice. Adds substance.

These threads are fun. Some are way overthinking. LOL

Thread 4 coming soon.

    • No official release yet so don't know when exactly the album is supposed to come out but I'm assuming it's this year. I'm sure you're all brimming with excitement.
    • I posed him that exact question on his discord page as to what his future plans are.... He said he plans to relax for a bit, do his You Tube thing, keep writing new music and then will decide how to release that music.  He said as of now he's thinking he'll either do a solo thing or form his own band.  He didn't say this but I'd sort of envision a Daughtry type "band" where he kind of puts a band behind his name. So essentially, I think you're right on with his plans.  Ultimately, I think like you say, the control is a big part of it.  I think he wants to be able to operate on his own schedule to maintain his health and family obligations. It'll be interesting to see what sound the new material takes on.  It would seem logical to think it would be rock/melodic rock of some sort since that's really the type of music he's built his following with but he certainly has shown he can dabble anywhere from AOR to metal.
    • Glad I got to see them with Erik in front. All the best to him, definitely looking forward to his future outings when he is fully recovered. Would be cool to see him form his own band, where he could take control, and play around in different genres, from full on metal, to soothing AOR, the guy is so versatile.
    • Remedy - Crying Heart. One I've just seen thanks to the Iridium channel.  From the upcoming album. It's a Killer.     
    • Let's not forget Benny Hill. What a Magnificent show that was.    
    • Yeah... I dunno about that. It would be too cringe. Who knows? If I'm high enough, I might submit a video. 
    • Yep great track and if you fancy being in the video for "The Feeling" nows your chance.  
    • I'm proud to say that I had this single when I was a mere 8 years old. KISS were big down here then. Norman Gunston is Iconic for Aussies of my vintage.  The face ln the bottom left says it all. Hilarious.     
    • All in all, this is a great story. Erik played a brilliant, well received, albeit short cameo with one of our favourite bands.  It was a win, win, win. A win for us, a win for Skid Row (the album certainly put them back on the map) and a win for Erik, adding this to his already impressive resume. The fact that it was so amicable with both parties is also great to see.
    • I really like this album - not every song on it but there are some surprisingly catchy melodies all over. Personally I think the singer adds great energy to the mix. It reminds me of the earlier Bai Bang ("closer to you")
