Where do you think he should be? Top 10?

Sherick · **Joined:** Mon Oct 11, 2010 7:22 pm **Posts:** 10453

I'd imagine, unless someone else beats.

I'm guessing 5-7 would be accurate.

Top 10 is killer no matter what the order.

Maybe you should have a monthly rotation, let Merc have November, Tim December, Lambert January and so on.

Change it up every month so everyone's happy.

Good idea bishop but that would eliminate the whole fun part of breakdowns and discussions wouldn't it?

I would move on to Fred v. Lambert but I'm getting a strong premonition that Mint still has something to say about T. Buck v. Merc. :lol:

Well I disagree with some of it, particularly with Buckley getting either resonance or projection, I see both as clear cut to Freddie...but to be honest I don't really care anymore. I think it can go either way with 1v1 breakdowns of any of the top 5 or 6 depending on how you weight things and interpret the criteria. And everyone does that differently.

The one thing I would say, is I don't think you should be saying 8-6 or whatever. That's meaningless. First, not all the sub criteria are equal, and second, whoever's got the 8 wins could have got them all very narrowly, while the one with 6 might have won some of them by a big margin.

That top 10 is always scrambled one way or another! :lol:

My picks for the first 5:

1. Jackie Wilson
2. Tim Buckley
3. Adam Lambert
4. Freddie Mercury
5. Jeff Buckley

Ikon had a pretty good idea for top 10 few pages ago.. I really don't think Jeff should be ahead of Freddie...
And if both Lambert and Tim are ahead of Freddie, maybe we should do a breakdown between them...?

I think Tim wins...

But do it. Just to be sure...

My top 10 would be:

1. Jackie Wilson
2. Tim Buckley
3. Adam Lambert
4. Freddie Mercury
5. Jeff Buckley
6. Chris Cornell
7. Michael Kiske
8. Steve Perry
9. Geoff Tate
10. John Farnham
