I had Layne Staley at #11. If you are a singer, or know anything about singing, you know Layne Staley was an absolute MASTER when it comes to vocal control. Or if you're too young to really know who he was, go put on those Alice records with him...or better yet, the EPs. Mad Season was another band/project of his that is an absolute MUST. He truly deserved to be this high on the list and glad DTF folks saw that.
I have to admit, however, that I don't know Einar Solberg, but now that I know he's the Leprous singer - I've always been curious about this band. But every time I check a song out, I'm not sold that they are for me. I need to take the plunge on them. Album recommendation anyone?
