Most Underrated Lead Singer Of All Time

Evil

I was listening to my iPod on "shuffle" mode and "I Remember You" by Skid Row came on. Man, that song is great. No, more specifically, Sebastian Bach is great! Listening to that song made me realize that Sebastian is undoubtedly the most underrated lead singer of all time, covering any band, any genre, any era. His vocal performance on that song is amazing. If you haven't heard it in a long time (like me), go back and have a listen with fresh ears.

It's just too bad that the other members of Skid Row were such dead weights because if Sebastian has a better supporting cast, he's still be around and rockin'. If I could manage to work out the final kinks in my time machine, the first thing I'd do is go back to 1985 and somehow get Sebastian connected with Slash, Izzy, Duff, and Steven Adler of Guns N' Roses. How awesome a rock band would GnR be with Sebastian Bach as the frontman?

But don't take my word for it that Sebastian Bach is the Most Underrated Lead Singer Of All Time... here's the breakdown (as they might do on ESPN):

Vocal Ability: Mentioned above. SB has great range, great timbre in his voice. Can flat out sing. (Closest rival in this category: Chris Cornell of Soundgarden; Totally trounces in this category: Anthony Kiedis of Red Hot Chili Peppers.)

Charisma: Johnny Rotten, Kurt Cobain, and a whole host of others proved that you don't need singing ability to be a great frontman. Charisma is just as important if not more so. Did anyone see VH1's Supergroup? SB rocked on that show. He's so entertaining. And they even have him do some talking head segments on I Love The 80's. Now that's charisma. (Closest rival in this category: Freddy Mercury of Queen; Totally trounces in this category: Vince Neil of Motley Crue.)

Looks: Let's face it, looks matter (sorry, Manolo). SB is so good-looking, he could pass as a chick. (Closest rival in this category: Jon Bon Jovi of Bon Jovi; Totally trounces in this category: Scott Weiland of Stone Temple Pilots.)
