fave singer

[shlepRICKY]

choose

[Brokenhill]

rofl you randomly posted gerard and patrick

[avengedtbs]

wtf? do you think that the singers from mcr and fob compare to the classics?

[notoaststereo]

freddie mercury.

[Brokenhill]

I put David....his voice is so soothing.

[MADSTA]

Why would you ever lump Patrick and Gerard in there?

Mercury fo sho.

[Smash Adams]

john lennon

also who's robet plant? I know robert plant was in led zeppelin

[halifaxonfire]

john lennon is by far my favorite.

[elvis2x]

Where is Sonny Moore?

[loganmmm]

Fourteen year olds dont know what they're doing.

[Iamhome]

Probably should've put Brandon Boyd in there.

[thatwasamoment]

haha, patrick stump is beating some of the greatest rock singers of all time.

[music_freek_12]

haha, patrick stump is beating some of the greatest rock singers of all time.


thats a good thing

[Branevember31]

why is Stump on this?


John Lennon

[IATA4224]

Dude.. .come on.. How can you compare Patrick Stump and Gerard Way to Freddie Mercury, Paul Mac, or Lennon...

And people are actually voting for Stump!

[gnp8472]

stump and way should not be on this list.

Lennon > Mercury > McCartney

Hendrix was a guitar player... i never really felt his singing too much.

Lennon was the best. period. RIP

[TBSowns524]

Permanent Ban please?

seconded

[JustAnotherPoet]

Dude.. .come on.. How can you compare Patrick Stump and Gerard Way to Freddie Mercury, Paul Mac, or Lennon...

And people are actually voting for Stump!

beause he's good. i'm not a fanatic and i'm not saying the band he's in is the best or even compares to zepplin or the beatles but he's a very talented vocalist.

[EamonKid]

it's hard to compare... patrick stump is a great singer, don't gbet me wrong, but we are in the auto tune age, it's used by everyone.... people like lennon and hendrix never even heard those words when they were alive...

[nerdvglc]

freddie mercury by far....maybe in like 10 years, i will think about comparing fob or mcr to queen, but right now, that's just crazy

[halifaxonfire]

any poll where Patrick Stump is ahead of John Lennon for best vocals is a joke.

[El_Jeffe]

out of curiosity, how are people basing their votes? on enjoyment? (obviously subjective) or on talent? (still somewhat, but considerably less objective)

either way mercury gets my tick on both accounts

[antron]

if shitpieces like stump and way are on this unit we should at least be realistic and acknowledge william becket and craig owens...let's be reasonable ppl

[whiteboypain]

Robert Plant

[MIKEY_HORROR]

as far as voice goes... its a toss up between Patrick and Plant

but overall performer would be Freddie Mercury hands down

[Scottt]

Freddie Mercury.
Anyone voting for Gerard Way or Patrick Stump... kill yourself.

[knife vs xface]

you CAN compare them to each other. the poll is called 'who's a better singer?' not 'who's just better?' just because they're older doesn't mean you can't compare them? not that i voted for one of them.

and shut up about fourteens year olds, seriously. it's so annoying. i'm fourteen and i listen to the classics AND my chemical romance and fall out boy. and you know what? i've been listing to fall out boy since evening out with your girl and my chem since bullets. sure, there are some people who only like them because of mtv, but who cares? seriously. first of all, don't you think they're on there because they have talent? and second, how come no one hates the beatles for being so famous?


sorry, i know the second part had nothing to do with this poll.

[NJUNDERDOG]

patrick stump an gerard way really shouldnt be included in this

[jorn444]

Permanent Ban please?
You're a fucking prick. Get off your high horse.

[SeanEBoy2686]

freddie mercury


between stump and way its stump easily... i think gerard way's voice is awful

[blimpcityhero11]

Haha Seriously... Why are Gerard and Patrick on here?

I picked Freddie Mercury though... I love me some Queen.

[JayPnay]

Freddie Mercury.... definitely.

[FatJordan]

Not only WHY are Pat Stump and Gerard Way on this list...BUT HOW IS PAT SECOND TO FREDDIE MERCURY!??!!

[tonighttonight0]

thats a good thing
learn a fucking lesson in rock history

take stump and way off of there...

Freddie Mercury all the way

[Smash Adams]

Haha Seriously... Why are Gerard and Patrick on here?

I picked Freddie Mercury though... I love me some Queen.

the reason is that a 14 year old made this poll- please don't say that I'm stereotyping

[shlepRICKY]

i just wanted to see what would happen if i put patrick and gerard in there i voted for robert plant

[shlepRICKY]

sorry, i know the second part had nothing to do with this poll.
Exactly thank you

[TotallyMandy]

Wooo ZEPPELIN.

Obviously I voted for Robert Plant.

[LifeKillsRebels]

oh dear this is a disgrace
just to clarify for the 12 year olds...
freddy mercury is the singer of queen...
and you should all vote for him not patrick stump
kthanks bye

[aircourtneys]

Freddie for sure


you can't put Patrick Stump and Gerard Way with that group

[clandestine_xo]

for me, tough choice between gilmour and mercury....
but i picked gilmour.

[IATA4224]

beause he's good. i'm not a fanatic and i'm not saying the band he's in is the best or even compares to zepplin or the beatles but he's a very talented vocalist.

No you are wrong.. Patrick Stump should never ever be uttered in the same sentence as John Lennon or Paul McCartney.. He may be talented, but what has he proven? Nothing much...

If your going to make a poll about favorite singers, pick a time period.. The majority of bands and singers DO NOT compare to any band from the 60's/70's.. Sorry

[IATA4224]

sorry, i know the second part had nothing to do with this poll.

Not to be a jerk off, but if your 14, you are brought up on MTV based music.. Its all around you.. I'm glad you have been a fan of Fall Out Boy since Evening Out, but you can not compare Fall Out Boy to the Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Queen, or Pink Floyd.. In fact if you think you can you really have no sense of music.. These bands are CLASSICS.. Not saying that FOB will never be, (i think they won't), but theres no comparison..

Again, anyone who can seriously say that Stump or Way can compare to any of the classic bands listed has serious musical issues.. I am huge glassjaw fan and Daryl Palumbo may be my favorite singer, but he isn't better than Lennon or Plant..

[Alex DiVincenzo]

Patrick. I know the others are legends, but that doesn't mean I have to like them more.

[avengedtbs]

patrick as a singer is nowhere near the level that lennon, plant, gilmour, or mercury are on

[avengedtbs]

actually patrick as anything is nowhere near as close as those guys, and he will be the first to tell you that

[meliisssaaaa]

freddie mercury out of this group

[kbauer]

I picked Gerard I mean come on havent you heard teh Black Parade!?!?!?!?!


Jesus Christ wheres Jesse Lacey, so he could steal some votes from Paul McCartney (who I really voted for) or Freddie (who is a close second imo)

I know some older bands are overrated, not saying the lead singers of any of these bands are and some people pretend to listen or care about classic bands, but to compare Gerard Way and Patrick Stump, to Lennon, McCartney, Mercury...well anyone on this list is ignorance, so Im hoping that he put those choices on there as a joke.

But lets be honest, with how commercialism works, in 20/30 years people may be talking about Fall Ot Boy and My Chemical Romance in this light, but hopefully theyll realize that they were average at best and their success was a joke.

[exthuse]

sorry, i know the second part had nothing to do with this poll.
So you were listening to FOB when you were 10, and MCR when you were 9.
I call bullshit.

[Dan CiTi]

I voted Patty because you said fav. & not best.

[bagdad]

yeah this poll is for favorite...i voted for stump...i'm not even all that big of a fall out boy fan...but i like fall out boy more than classic rock...i never really got into classic rock...freddy mercury would be my second pick though...i never got into pink floyd or zepplin, they just didn't do it for me...and hendrix is a good on guitar, but singing not so much...and if i had a choice between listening to fall out boy and the beatles, 9 out of 10 times i'd say put on fall out boy...oh and before you call me a 12 year old girl, i'm 25 and been listeing to "punk" for about 13 years or so...and i respect everyone's opinion...

[punkrockmedic]

I love all the singers on this little poll(minus Gerard Way). Though truly in my opinion Patrick Stump is by far the most talented of them, with Freddie Mercury in a close second.

[punkrockmedic]

Oh and yes Jesse Lacey should be up there. I think Brand New is by far the best music out there right now.

[avengedtbs]

wow

[halifaxonfire]

Oh and yes Jesse Lacey should be up there. I think Brand New is by far the best music out there right now.
they make good music, but Jesse's vocals are mediocre at best. nothing special.

[Brokenhill]

Wheres all the Gilmoure fans =[

[jorn444]

If i owned a gun, you'd be dead right now.
Wow, really? Damn you're a badass.

[kevinrocks409]

freddy, his voice can never be copied. its incredible.
listen to mika tho, hes damn close to freddy.

[UndertheTELE]

RobeRt Plant.

[blooshoo]

i voted for gilmour with lennon a close second but freddie mercury really does have the best voice. and even if you like fall out boy, you've gotta admit that stump is an awful singer. some better contemporary choices would have been bjork, brandon boyd or matthew bellamy

[animmortalsoul]

I went with Freddie Mercury, who in my opinion could really be the most talented vocalist the world has ever known.

That said, I can empathize with a lot of the people who voted for Patrick Stump. No, Fall Out Boy should not be compared with Led Zeppelin, but I think Patrick Stump has a great voice, and Robert Plant has a godawful voice. (So does Gerard Way, but that's beside the point.) These bands -- Pink Floyd, Queen, The Beatles, and Led Zeppelin -- are timeless, but that's in my opinion more because they were original than because they were good. I think that their endurance is based partially on time period. They had brand new ideas that no one had had yet, and by the time the kids of Fall Out Boy came around, there was considerably less innovation to be done. You can't fault them for being born in the wrong year. And voices aside, in a "Best Band" poll, I'd take Fall Out Boy over Led Zeppelin and Queen over both. Led Zeppelin may have inspired music, but Fall Out Boy to me is better at playing it. And Queen was inspirational and very good. Let's not start looking at old inspirations as though they're God -- the same Beatles who wrote "Hey Jude" and "Let It Be" wrote songs like "Rocky Raccoon" and "Yellow Submarine." If you argue that all Fall Out Boy does is write songs about girls and stuff, and that could never compare to the Beatles, I'd ask you what "Eight Days a Week" is.

[GoBigRed]

Yeah that is a dumb poll.

[sasalukac]

Wow, really? Damn you're a badass.

agreed. i wish i was as badass as him, then i could go on music forums and trash people's opinions without feeling ashamed of myself... but alas, that'll never be

[sasalukac]

sorry, i know the second part had nothing to do with this poll.

pretty mature mentality from a 14 year old

[FUCKDIRTYWIPES]

gerard and patrick??? wow

[dat scene kid]

I'm sorry, everyone's saying that it's all about the voice and not the music, so therefore you can compare the likes of the Beatles, Queen, and Led Zeppelin to Fall Out Boy and My Chemical Romance

However, the poll title is FAVORITE SINGER!!!!! Yes, voice factors in, but so does stage prescene, style, audience commandability, etc...

There is no persuasive arguement (in my opinion) that could make me believe that Gerard Way and Patrick Stumph have not only a better voice, but command the stage, are more iconic, and demand attention more than the likes of Robert Plante and Freddie Mercury

Therfore i went Robert Plante with Freddie Mercury a close second.

p.s. whoever said Mika is as close to Freddie Mercury as can be found in contemporary music is dead on, so go listen to him, he's amazing...

[Andrew_Murphy]

Led Zeppelin may have inspired music, but Fall Out Boy to me is better at playing it.

Hmmm I recommend you listen to more of the latter and less of the pop music. If you are saying that FOB is better at playing power chords for all their songs then yes they are better at that but in every other aspect that relates to quality music (composition, skill, song structure, ect) Led Zeplin blows them out of the water.

[moore182]

Where's Tom Delonge?
I kid...
but I enjoy his voice...

[a_money]

justin pierre.

JUSTIN PIERRE!

[paperthin]

freddie

why are people joking about patrick being on there? his range, by far, beats most on there

[OveriseFan]

freddie

why are people joking about patrick being on there? his range, by far, beats most on there

Not even close to Freddie Mercury...

[YOUWONTKNOW]

What about morrissey? this is a bum poll

[paperthin]

Not even close to Freddie Mercury...

yea which is why i voted for him, hence my first line

however others like jimi hendrix? uhhh not that good range in singing

[atticus1492]

sorry, i know the second part had nothing to do with this poll.

First of all, FOB and MCR do not have talent. Second of all, no one hates the Beatles for being famous because they were actually good.

[TheWatermelon]

patrick but I like john lennon too !!
patrick my favorite

[dan.is.empire]

i really would like to know who the hell lets this guy put up these ridiculous polls. you CAN'T compare patrick stump and gerard way to ANY of the people up there. my god.

Edit [after i read a couple posts before this] : you can't compare them because they're completely different styles of singing.

[itkeepsuswarm]

So why isn't Bowie on there? Or Elliott Smith? Oh right, because you needed room for Patrick Stump and Gerard Way. It all makes sense now

[itkeepsuswarm]

By the way, Robert Plant's name is completely typo-ed. And yes, I forgot about Morrissey as well. I think a few changes need to be made to this shit

[Bobcat46308]

you guys (this website) give queen too much credit.

[doubletrue]

Aaron Marsh...FTW

[Andrew_Murphy]

you guys (this website) give queen too much credit.

I guess queen became famous among scene folk when MCR covered them. But none the less Queen had mad good vocals but terrible,terrible lyrics.

[westsidas2000]

Way and Stump should not be thrown in there. Not because they're not talented singers, but cause they haven't had enough time to prove anything. I voted gilmour cause i really like pink floyd but in reality, mercury is probably the best of all time.

[insertwithere]

freddie mercury is better than all of us. ever. always.

[Smog01]

The fact that Gerard Way has twice as many votes as Jimi Hendrix is enough to make you puke

[emonemo3290]

I'm gonna go unbiased here and say that Patrick Stump technically is a good singer. If anyone in here actually knows what singing is; I'm talking all aspects from vibrato and control to range and pitch control: Patrick Stump is a good singer. I'm not saying the classics aren't. As for Gerard... God save his soul.

[taraj]

i voted john lennon, but ben mccraken should have been included

[cannibaltyler]

Freddie Mercury should win this poll hands down, and why are Patrick and Gerard on there? I like MCR, but hate FOB but Gerard and Patrick do not deserve to be on this list.

[Plodbax]

Lol the funny thing is that if you where to ask Stump or Way where they think they are vocally in comparison to ANY of the others here they would have rated them selves MUCH lower than the level of the greats. You may think they are good and ok maybe they are. they do have talent, Bur they are no way near the level to be considered better than any of the others on this poll.

[dpatrickguy]

freddy mercury over Robert Plant? thats some buuuullshit
