[kj] Jaz Coleman Among Top Singers

[B. Oliver Sheppard]

James Hetfield was at least honest in putting Glenn Danzig on his list. 
I notice no one else has!

Now, come on. We can all agree  Danzig is an egomaniacal dick, maybe 
100% douchebag, but isn't it uncontroversial that the man has some of 
the best pipes in "alt" music -- or ANY music -- in the past 30 years? I 
mean the guy was regularly compared to Elvis and Jim Morrison. Danzig's 
vocal preeminence often seemed to be one of the best kept secrets of 
music. (Now his vocals have deteriorated from their prime in the late 
80s and early 90s and  kinda suck.)

I have to say I agree with Hetfield's list the most, actually, even 
though I haven't liked Metallica in ages. Yet as cheesy as Glenn Danzig 
has become, his vocals have really been amazing on many releases.
