8. Kurt Cobain (Nirvana)

These 2 over Steven Tyler and Iggy Pop? Tis a strange list indeed.

Yep, I love Slash's new album. I was actually surprised by how much I ended up liking it considering I've never liked GnR.

I was planning on attending their concert in Abu Dhabi next week.

But, in view of the bad comments i recently read, i think i'll skip.

The Snakepit albums never fully clicked with me, Velvet Revolver is decent enough, but I think his solos album outshines them all. That being said, none of them top Appetite in my opinion.

I think Slash's musical contributions outside of GnR are better than most of what I've heard from other former members. Duff & Izzy's stuff is pretty good, but doesn't get as much airtime as Slash. Never heard anything from Steven Adler.

Appetite is the ultimate GNR album.

The one Snakepit album I have 'Five O Clock' somewhere is not bad, but never clicked with me either, I did like Izzy Stradlin's solo album, it sounded like Stones like, Duff's solo was ok, I have only heard a few tracks off Slash's newest solo album.

I don't get it, it says best singers, but clearly some of them have a worse vocal range than me (ok exaggeration). If it said best frontmen/women, but even then there are a few that wouldn't fit.

Agreed on that Snakepit album. I think his solo album from this year is great though. One of my favorites for 2010. Loaded is okay. I like Duff's Believe In Me album a lot. Never bothered with Izzy, what I've heard seems kinda boring.

Metal Misfit if you are not a fan of the Stones and The Faces type of rock music then I would advise to stay away from Izzy's solo discs

Yea, don't get me wrong. I have 2 Izzy albums and I dig 'em just fine for what they are. They certainly have a Stonesy-vibe to 'em. While I didin't care for Duff's first solo album (I swear he was drunk on some tunes), his Loaded project is good too. I just tend to spin Slash's solo album a heckuva lot more.

Getting back on topic, sort of, yea, the title of that list is a bit misleading. Are we talking about great singers or great frontmen? Yuu can be both a great singer & frontman (like Freddy Mercury), but you could also be a mediocre singer, buta great frontman (like David Lee Roth)/
