I wish this song, as well as Foghat's Slow Ride, would disappear forever.

Kinda surprised Helm is losing. He's the bomb.

[Barracuda 629]

Helm and Rodgers was probably the most difficult for me out of all four of the threads.

[BwareDWare94 723]

Levon Helm losing--it's just mind-boggling.

And while I don't particularly like Evanescence, Amy Lee is probably one of the most technically skilled vocalists in this whole damn thing. I don't know enough about Heart but is their vocalist nearly as skilled?

Wilson's (and Heart's) effect on music alone should get her the nod. There is no Amy Lee without her. Plus she's a damn fine singer.

[Vin+ 3,121]

Wilson has more range, but I don't think she'd sound as good pulling off something like My Immortal, though I'm not a Heart expert.
