Contender 1
Band - Aerosmith
Name - Steven Tyler
One of the most famous men in rock is our first competitor! Hes been going since 1970 with the hugely popular Aerosmith and has done numerous side projects along the way. With an instantly recognisable voice he is one of the most highly respected frontmen in history. Having toured with Aerosmith throughout 2010 including a headline spot at the legendary rock festival Download he is now currently turning to the side of TV IN American Idol (Could lose you some votes Steve!). With his recent book peaking at number one in nearly every chart he is invading all sorts of Media nowadays! But the good news is between his important schedule he is working on new material for Aerosmith, could we see another rise to fame for the legendary rockers? If Steven wins this it'd mean more to him then the hall of fame!
Contender 2
Band - Avenged Sevenfold
Name - M. Shadows
Avenged Sevenfold are easily one of the most successful bands to hit the scene in the last decade. From their main debut album Bat Country infamous tracks spawned such as "Beast and The Harlot" and "Bat Country" all wrote by M.Shadows himself. His vocal style earned him respect in the metal world and his screams and melodic voice were some of the best in the business. Of course the big thing with Avenged was the loss of their drummer The Rev. Shadows felt this as a heavy loss and so did the rest of the music world as can be seen by some of the lyrics on the newest album. However this isn't saying that Avenged have gone soft. Shadows can still make amazing material Nightmare and Save Me for example. If Shadows gets your vote he could be the underdog in this!
Contender 3
Band - Guns N' Roses
Name - Axl Rose (Pre new era Guns N' Roses)
He had to be in here somewhere before he got all fat and crap. Guns N Roses are one of if not the most famous band in rock and roll history. Mainly because of Slash and Axl. Appetite for Destruction debuted and then Guns went super. Axl featured numerous times on the front cover of Rolling Stones magazine and was interviewed stupid amounts of times for it. However, old Axl could sing, and he could sing well. His live and album performances were second to none and every band looked up to him as the poster pin up of a rock god. He was labelled as "Maybe the hardest rocking hard rock singer on the planet" in 1990. But from there on things went downhill for Axl and he turned into the shambles he is today. Could this sway your vote? Or will timeless sing alongs to Sweet Child O' Mine tempt you back?
Contender 4
Band - Kasabian
Name - Tom Meighan
Kasabian are not just another english band. They have spawned numerous anthems all with this man at the helm. Tom Meighan controls the Kasabian horde of fans when they play live and regularly updates the fans with updates on Facebook (What a guy). Now why he may not have the same recognisable voice as Axl you know when its a Kasabian song. In fact most of the world know when its a Kasabian song when they broke into the world with West Ryder. Providing solid vocals throughout he has nothing else more in mind other then making sure Kasabian achieve world domination and they very well maybe about to knock on the door of the current owners, whoever they may be. One more solid album from Tom and crew will cement their place at the top of the chain. So does this man get your vote? He's also had more hairstyles then Hue has girlfriends.
Contender Number 5
Band - Bloc Party/Kele
Name - Kele Okereke
Bloc Party are a British phenomenon and at the front of this is the astounding Kele. The lead singer wasn't enough for Kele as he took on Rhythm duties too and for anyone that has listened to a Bloc Party song this is no easy feat! Silent alarm came and took the world by storm and while this album was being recorded he was studying at Uni for English Literature now that is impressive! He even kept his musical hobbies a secret from his parents til the album came out. Kele is shy but this dosen't show at any live gigs. Kele is always delivering his fast paced vocals at his very best and anyone who has seen a Bloc Party show will know that the band comes together at live gigs and the result is astonishing. Kele went solo and got all the musical club synthey danceness out of his veins and is now meeting with Bloc Party. A new album possibly? If you give Kele the vote it might make him make it faster!
So there it is, the second bunch of potential hopefulls! Who will be the victor? Head over to City Lights and Suburban Dreams to cast your vote, dont forget to like it too!
