When I says Fall Out Boy, everyone immediately thinks of Pete Wankz (spelling error intentional). When I mention Patrick Stump, the general reaction is "Who"?

The man who writes most of FOB's music and it their lead vocalist is who.

Patrick Stump is one of the most underrated singers out there. In my opinion, he's one of the best currently going around, yet because of Petey boy, no one ever notices him.

He should honestly kick Pete out, get a bassist who isn't a glory and media wh0re, and they should make a new record. That way, this talent can get the attention he deserves.

Brandon Flowers is the lead singer of The Killers, an overrated rock band from Las Vegas, Nevada. He is a relatively average singer who fronts a relatively average band who have made a small name for themselves with a female audience. Even though I don't rate their music, it's obviously aimed at a different audience to me. What really grates me about this little sh**t is that he feels that he can say what he wants with no consequences. He accuses Green Day's terrific 2004 album, American Idiot, of being "calculated anti-Americanism". 0F C0URSE !T !S! That's the whole f***ing point, for crying out loud! It's meant to point out what Green Day sees bad about America. And if kids outside America (like myself) see the same thing, what right does this s**thead have to talk with his red, white and blue tinted glasses? When Brandon Flowers achieves half of what Green Day has in his career, then he can talk.

He also accuses emo bands of being "dangerous". Take a look at half your audience! I can bet you a large proportion of them are emo. Emo music is for those of us with less than perfect lives. What position is a big rock star like yourself in to comment on someone else's life?

All in all, Brandon Flowers is a wanker who I can't wish any good on from any part of my body. He's a merely average musician and an a$$h0le.

Okay, let me make one thing clear.

Pearl Jam, despite what some people will tell you, are not Nirvana. They aren't the heirs to Nirvana, nor are they Nirvana posers.
What Pearl Jam are, is Pearl Jam. And they do a very good job of being Pearl Jam.
I have to confess I'm not a huge fan of Eddie Vedder's singing, but his lyrics are some of the best out there. Combine this with two great guitarists in Mike McCready and Stone Gossard, and the added bonus of Jeff Ament's bass and you have a great band. Current drummer Matt Cameron is also Pearl Jam's best ever drummer in my opinion.
My one problem with Pearl Jam is that they often aren't hard enough for me. For example, in their self-titled album, there were only seven songs that I really enjoyed, but two of these (World Wide Suicide, Marker In The Sand) are my two favourite Pearl Jam songs.
All in all, the worthy heirs to the throne of grunge. Just don't call then Nirvana Lite or Nirvana's successors.

Dan Castallaneta is the original male voice actor for adult cartoons, and even 17 years on he can still make me laugh like crazy, and his range of voice talents (he does Groundskeeper Willie!). His quotes are still fresh ("D'oh!" "I am so smart, I am so smart. S-M-R-T, I mean, S-M-A-R-T.") and are still hilarious all these years on.
However, I do feel his skills have been surpassed by Seth MacFarlane. While most of his voices are different, they all have that same, rather gravelly undertone, with the main real difference being accents, where as MacFarlane can do almost any kind of voice and has Dan's variety of accents.
