[wolfking]

Hopefully made it in time Kev sent in a submission (albeit somewhat rushed where did the last couple weeks go? )

Heaps of time to spare mate.

[Dave_Manchester]

Zanzibar…1

Bi Kidude? Siti binti Saad? Makame Faki? Freddie Mercury? Zuhura Swaleh?

[Dave_Manchester]

Given how diverse our lists are bound to be, I propose a competition. Predict how many of your choices will make the aggregate list. The winner will win the internet that day.

My prediction: 8 from my list will make it to the DTF Singers' Hall of Fame.

[DragonAttack]

Zanzibar…1

Bi Kidude? Siti binti Saad? Makame Faki? Freddie Mercury? Zuhura Swaleh?

Yes😀

My two Canadian picks are guaranteed, with maybe five at the most making the list

Yes😀

Right! Who doesn’t love Bi Kidude? 

[TAC]

I feel like I definitely have 5 on the list. Maybe 6.

I’ll shoot high and say 6.

[twosuitsluke]

I’ll shoot high and say 6.

I'll say 5, and that is fucking optimistic! It really depends on the forum members who submitted, as my 5 are popular around here, and I think well respects a vocalist.

It all depends on the fogey to non fogey ratio.

Kev, can you name and shame those who have submitted?

[SwedishGoose]

I think 3 of mine will make the list

I like this idea.  Assuming that more than one poster gets the # right, the tie breaker (if Kev is up for collecting this additional piece) would/should be WHICH singers make the list?

[Dream Team]

I think about 7 of mine will make the countdown.

[jingle.boy]

I've got 4 that I can make bank on.  I think I've got 9-10 that *should* make it, so I'll say 8.

[lonestar]

I got 3 guaranteed, 5 that I'm 99% sure on.

[KevShmev]

The tiebreaker will be whoever has the most songs on their list that were also on my list.

Note: having Billy Joel, Taylor Swift and/or Thom Yorke on your list will help your cause.

[TAC]

I couldn’t even tell you who Thom Yorke is.

-Thim

[KevShmev]

I couldn’t even tell you who Thom Yorke is.

-Thim

That's fair considering I had no clue who your number 1 singer was.

[HOF]

Men - 25
US - 12
England - 8
Canada - 2
Scotland - 1
New Zealand - 1
Sweden - 1

Debuted after 2000 - 1

[Adami]

Human beings - 25


Best I can do.

[LithoJazzoSphere]

I think only one of mine is probably close to a lock for appearing in the aggregate 25.  Another 4 that have a shot, but I suspect might just miss out. 

[HOF]

I’ve got 7-10 who I could see making the list, but only 3-4 who seem like locks.

[lonestar]

Ooh another metric...

3 growl/clean vocals
22 all clean vocals

[Dave_Manchester]

25 cleans for me.

[bosk1]

Ooh another metric...

3 growl/clean vocals
22 all clean vocals

Noob.  I did that several pages ago.

[King Puppies and the Acid Guppies]

I couldn’t even tell you who Thom Yorke is.

-Thim

That's fair considering I had no clue who your number 1 singer was.

I'm about 99% sure I know who his #1 is, and I'm shocked....SHOCKED!!! that you don't know this singer...

[SeRoX]

24 from the Earth
1 from other world.

1 from other world.

[Lethean]

I'm going to guess that 4 of mine will be on the list.  I'm hoping it'll be at least 6 but it could be even less than 4.

3 of my singers do or have done harsh vocals.

[twosuitsluke]

Highest ranked harsh vocalist, I'm calling it

[Cool Chris]

Singers who have performed on an Ayreon release: 8 (I think)

[twosuitsluke]

2, as far as I know

[TAC]

Highest ranked harsh vocalist, I'm calling it

I didn't know Buddyhunter could sing.

[LithoJazzoSphere]

Singers who have performed on an Ayreon release: 8 (I think)

If you extend it to Arjen projects in general, it's 7. 

[Dream Team]

Wow that’s some ugly facial hair.

[TAC]

If you extend it to Arjen projects in general, it's 7.

I have no idea what those rosters look like, but I bet I have a couple.

[lonestar]

I think I got 4 Arjen singers... Also reminds me I totally forgot about Tommy when I made the list, he definitely would've earned a spot.
