oh dude, you're talking to someone who still can't filter loud noises, because his mother bottlefed him hair metal in the eighties. (I think Queen is probably my favorite band, but then I also swear they invented heavy metal, got bored, and made something else,lol. they were probably one of the most experimental rock bands of all time). I definitely liked ripper owens on The glorious burden, though i don't know if I'd call him my favorite per say...
