One of my favorite singers died a couple of years ago, Ronnie James Dio. At least Bruce Dickinson (sp?) is still around.
I can't really offer an opinion on today's singers, since I don't listen to them and only know the names of them when they get publicity for a fight they're having with another singer. I am only exaggerating slightly. I also hear about them when people complain of their overuse of auto-tune.
I listen to ICP for the pleasure of irritating my friends.
My friend Geoff calls it "clown rap" which he abbreviates to c-rap.
