Mustaine's voice is fine. It's technically awful, but it PERFECTLY fits the music. Political and nihilistic. Not to mention his skill as a songwriter and a musician. Of course, the fact that Megadeth peaked in 1991 hurts Mustaine's chances of being the best 80's frontman.
Still, Judas Priest were past their prime in the 80's (everything after Stained Class isn't as good), and were still a pretty good band, so who knows?

Hmm, I think Jovi's time to go is now. Vince Neil was once part of a great band, so he gets to stay for one more round. After that, DLR, maybe, depends on how things go.

D -- Hello?!?? This is about
favorites
... the first post in every survivor thread says VOTE OUT YOUR LEAST
FAVORITE!
? See the word
"favorite"
in that?? That means, that you vote out your least
favorite
, thereby *hopefully* keeping your
favorite
in the running, by knocking out those that would be your least
favorite
.? See how that works?
Just because your
favorite
happens to be the one that some people thinks smells of ripe cheese, doesn't mean that they aren't voting the right way.
As you have once said yourself, musical taste is subjective, so there is no way of really saying "who is best" and who isn't...
(notable exception:? Bon Jovi.? It's perfectly alright to admit that he sucks great big floppy donkey dicks)
?
Seriously though, how does one weigh who is best vs. who is second best?? ?Through their own preference.? Preference refers to personal, subjective taste... you know... your
favorite
.? Lookie ... there's that word again...
favorite.?

Between Dickenson and Halford, I think I would have to choose Halford, because he is truly the
FRONTMAN
of Judas Priest. Judas Priest just isn't the same without him (Demolition, Jugulator
). Maiden, however, put out the X Factor, which is a very underrated album, without Dickenson. Plus, Maiden's first 2 albums are excellent without him.
Because of this, I consider Steve Harris the true frontman of Iron Maiden. Although I love Iron Maiden more than Judas Priest, I think I'll just have to take Halford over Dickenson.

I still cant see the reason Sebastian bach is still in this.
He could sing, great, pin the rose on his nose
other than that he couldnt do shit
do u know why bach isnt relevant or around today?
simply cause he cant write a fuckin song
he was born with a great voice
thats not as amazing as becoming great on various instruments and writing songs that stand the test of time.
he could sing "thank his parents"
vocal wise he was great but in every other frontman category besides maybe performing he was way below average.
next round i ask everyone to vote his ass out!

Unfortunately, Bach might be voted out because people don't know whats good for them. But he sure isn't leaving before Bon Jovi.
How can you say that he couldn't do shit?
As far as Rock N Roll is concerned, this man has almost everything.
The charisma, the energy, the presence, the killer voice, really good looks, and to top it all off, a heavy dose of assholeness.
He may not be John Lennon where lyrics are concerned, but neither is Bon Jovi. In fact, unlike Bach, good looks is the only thing Bon Jovi has going for him.
You make it sound like that Backstreet Boy from New Jersey is the saviour of Rock. His vocal ability is equivalent to that of myself in the shower on a cold monday morning.
Now lets talk about Bon Jovi's lyrics. Yeah, the guy wrote some of the songs. Dude, with all due respect, I can write lyrics like that. And I never wrote a damn verse in my life. Except for that punk masterpiece in the other thread.

its hard writing those feel good rock classics and jon does more than write lyrics, he also writes music.
hell even alice cooper said bon jovi had 2 or 3 of the greatest rock songs ever written.
could Jon succeed as a solo artist? yes, he even wrote a number 1 single "blaze of glory" and 2 top 5 singles "bed of roses,always" by himself with no help from anyone. what has bach done? without skid row's songs where would he be?
Jon isnt technically as great as bach vocally but i find his vocals more appealing.
to say Jon is still successful and popular today only because he is good lookin is ridiculous dude.
if that were true Winger would still be selling out every show and selling millions of records.
if Jon wasnt talented, he may have one great record, but the man has had an over 20 year career and is still goin strong, so obviously there has to be some substance there.

Bach's first album has more substance in it than Bon Jovi's entire career. Bach's voice is much stronger and less overprocessed (he even did broadway!). Bon Jovi has showmanship, but he does not have the talent Bach has for a voice.

I still don't understand what the problem is with Bach not being a songwriter?
It's the frontman survivor, not the composers'! And Bach is one of the top 10 or even top 5 frontmen of all time.
As I see the candidates left are all great frontmen, although I'm not a fan of all, but I acknowledge their talent.

What the hell is wrong with you people? Why did you vote Bono off so quickly?
Nothing against Bach, but how can a guy that didn't do anything in the 80's has survived longer than Bono?

I can only speak for myself, but I just hate the music of U2, and I also find Bono an extremely mediocre, whiney singer. So for me it was a no-contest.
Bach on the other hand is alright, even he hasn't achieved as much as Bono, at least he isn't annoying.

I love Bono, I wouldn't have voted him off, unless it was a contest between either him and Bach or him and Halford... or him and Annie Lennox, who didn't make the list, but should have, as she could outsing anyone (with the possible exception of Bach and Halford, and of course Axl...) off the stage.

Agreed! She is one of the few singers that can give me goosebumps from the sheer inpact of her voice! The others being Axl and Halford.
I haven't found many other artists that can accomplish that feat.

James Hetfield is my favourite and I think he is easily the best out of the 80's, even though he was probably a better frontman during 89-93 especially with the TBA tour.
Looking at the remaining list Hetfield looks the most dominant. For decent 80's Het, watch the Seattle DVD from a show from 89. I think that defines why he is the best.
Even better than 80's Axl. If someone starts posting stuff like 'WTF how dare you say that about Uncle Axl? you dipshit' I want to see some good reasons why YOU think Axl was a better 80's frontman that James Hetfield.
D, you're not the only GnR fan who prefers another frontman over Axl.
