Ian Gillian
Definitely. Best song was still "Child in Time".
1968?
Dio is up there. Robert Plant.
Amy Lee from Evanescance & Jewel

I actually saw Jewel the fist time she ever played in Boston.
Chris Cornell
I'll think of more............
Eddie Vedder? Good first album. Not groundbreaking,not spectacular, just good. I wish he just shut up after that. But he can't.
Green River and Mudhoney and Mother Love Bone. Much better.
And my pick for the SSB will always be Rene Rancourt.
