alright - so where were we...oh yes..

So the list of Q107 top 50 vocalists...now it's a good thing I talk out my emotions before I explode all over the net..well I'm going to spread my verbal diarrhea anyways BUT the key thing is that I did take the advice momma gave me WAY back and I took a moment to think about what I had to say..

yes kids - you do start to appreciate what you're parents drilled into your head when you were in your "I know everything phase and you still wear spandex so what do u know" phase... whoops .. spandex .. American Apparel...neon...OH MY GOD - my parents WERE cool... and there goes my fragile psyche crumbling to the ground.

thanks a lot you Pat Benatar Olivia Newton John workout clothes ARE NOT meant for the street American Apparel obsessed I think I have my own style even though I look like everyone else assholes.

YOU just made my parents COOL. oh and FYI - contrary to popular belief spandex is NOT for everyone and one cannot be trendy if it doesn't look good on you. Remember kids - trendy isn't just what you wear - it's how you wear it. There is room for faux pas but for godssake if it don't look good...it don't look good.

now where the fuck was I [ btw - I forgot to think about all that before I wrote it down..c'est la vie]

right - Q107's top 50 vocalists...just to reiterate:

*say what you will but this is MY preference based on nothing and everything. I'm not a critic. I'm not a musician. i don't profess to know the inner workings of a great voice or personality. I may be influenced by variables such as attraction, , style, genre, hormones, etc - I might even be slightly more drawn to those on the list that I would fuck. BUT I do love music. It's the soundtrack to my coffee in the morning, my walk through the streets of downtown, to the book I read in the corner cafe and my dreams at night [when I'm sober enough to have them] so take from it what you want. It's not really there for you to care for anyways*

So here's my list - and yes I know Q107 is for classic rock blah blah blah..so I've morphed it a bit..whatever..this is it...Prepare critics. It's not in a particular order as that would change based on my mood. Let's be honest here....it's not even final - it's always changing...to say "I've narrowed down the Top anything is RIDICULOUS..but whatever - I've given it a try.

NOTE: This list will probably change in my head a million times.
