Going on 10 years with WrestleZone
I was thinking in the car today (which, by the way, is where I derive almost 70% of my thread ideas. I also get 20% in the shower and 10% on the shitter), and I had to ask myself this question...
If you could have the singing voice of one rock or rap artist, who would it be?
I settled on Steven Perry. For those of you with zero knowledge of music, he was the lead singer of Journey.
His range is amazing. He hits high notes with power and he can go up a ways before he taps into falsetto. His voice control is also such that so few have ever seen in rock music before. He's also a terrific live front-man.
Let's start here, with the one song that EVERYBODY, no matter who you are or what your deal, is cheered up by. It makes everybody smile, and almost everybody rock out:

And the song I STILL think they don't get enough credit for...

Listen to how powerful Perry's voice is on this song. This is in the middle of a live show in Japan.
From the same tour, maybe my favorite Journey song ever, side from the two I've aleady mentioned:

And finally, a classic from Perry's solo work:

In 2nd place for me would be Sebastian Bach from Sid Row. He also played the lead on Broadway in "Jeckyl & Hyde." But it's Steve Perry for me.
