Don't really care, but I got in to a drunken debate about this recently...

I'm going to have go with Dez even though I think all the early vocalists were good.
Shame that Rollins had to go and ruin that band.

Ron was real good..I can't believe no one even mentioned him.
That being said, it is a toss up between Dez and Henry.
Dez had the voice that was copied. Plus he was one of the first punker types to grow out his hair and say "fuck it", which was really cool back in 1982.
I know everyone has to hate Henry but he is just fine on "Damaged" especially side two. I was with him throughout "My War" and "Slip It IN"
His personality seemed to change as the material got worse. I never thought he was a "jock" or whatever. If people hate the guy that sang on "Damaged" going on that performance alone, its probably a case of revisionist history. How many people were doing that in 1981? Exactly.
I am betting that my last comment is going to open the floodgates.

Dez was always my favorite, but come on folks, Damaged was a great fucking album. This is the only thing Rollins has done worth a shit in my opinion.

If it wasn't for Rollins I never would have cared.
I do however dig the early stuff just fine though.
I really love My War.

Bag on Rollins all you want, he's a great artist. "Ghost riiiiiiider...motorcycle heeeeeero.."
Ok maybe he wrote a lame one here and there...but dosen't everyone?
