David Bowie?! What of David Bowie?!

I'm stuck between Manson, Almqvist and Jagger. Admittedly, others may be better and more legendary musicians, but they don't have the right show of arrogance.
Really, Almqvist is just a much nicer, more talented version of Jagger, and he never pranced about in a flag on heroin, so... Jagger's out then. And Manson, oh, he's just in a league of his own. Hard choice.

Anywhoo, BOWIE!?!

Oooohhh ho hoh... Yeah, he's good. Sorry, I was actually thinking of someone else. Ed there's got pretty damn good hair. I wouldn't count him as a frontman though. He was just the singer. Too cool for the frontman pratiques. Was just good, I suppose. Original grunge, right? Original in two ways. And massively influential. Nice shirt, too. Looked a lot better in a kilt and tartan than that prat Axel Rose, too.

My vote would go to Mike Patton if he was on the list.

He beats out pretty much everyone here IMO.

Singer from Phantamos, a little bird says? That can't be it, you stupid girl. Shoo shoo. Now, who? What basis do you have for his being great? Any? Go on, elaborate, child.

Fantômas smart one.

Mike Patton is not just the singer for Fantômas, he is/was also the singer for Mr. Bungle, Faith No More, and Tomahawk, not to mention his numerous appearances and his own record label.

Without Mike, FNM wouldn't have been what it was. Not to mention Mr Bungle, Secret Chiefs 3, Tomahawk, and almost every other band he's affiliated with probably wouldn't exist without him. So I think it's fair to say he has an incredible influence on music, as well as being one of the best and most innovative singers of the last decade or so.

So there ya go Joe. Happy now little Jesus girl?

No. He's not in Lemmy's leauge.
Ever.
Under any circumstances.
He's nothing to Lemmy.
You fool.

See this?

Quote:

"Who would win in a fight, Lemmy or God?"
"Lemmy!"
"Wrong!"
"God?"
"Nope"
"...what?"
"Haha, trick question dude, Lemmy IS God!"

That proves it.

Thanks to Covskin on World of Monkey Island. (He attributes it to somehting called 'Airheads').

So, he was in a bunch of bands, so what? He may have been a good singer, but he's not like Mighty Khan of Lapland, or anything.
Why is he so influential? The only bands that wouldn't have existed without him were his own, right? Or... what? :confused:
He's not Lemmy or Jagger, so he's not exactly the most influential musician ever.

And Squinn, your dad met Lemmy? Drunk? You never told me that. Did Lemmy really stink? Did he?
Was he at the concert or happened to be in the pub?
