  1. Enjoyed reading this list and will be spending some time exploring some of the artists on it. I can say I disagree with several of the artists on this list as their lead singers CANNOT SING!!! However, that is a taste point I suppose. There are however some excellent artists on here and I was greatly surprised to see someone have the balls to mention Asia and their Phoenix album someplace. Nice pull.
