Rate the vocalist scale

Last monday night we were discussing the merits or lack thereof that some of the vocalists in the featured bands.

I hit upon a new scale that I'm sure we all can use with equal gusto.

I Call it:

the Hammill-O-Meter

Pronounced Hammillometer or simply HOM for those prone to TLA.

The original scale was to be 0.0 - 5.0. However Jim mentioned Hammill himself as a benchmark is infinity, which absurd for a scientific unit of measure. Infinity is of course undefined. Indeed, it's kinda like being a moron. there are all kinds of morons.

So the resolution of the scale 0.0 to 10.0.
0.0 == good ( maybe even Great) vocalist.
1.0 == good to fine.
2.0 == indifferent
etc. etc.
down to 10.0 == almost Hammillistic perfection (ie: fingernails on a chalkboard)

We now have a rating scale, derived through rigorous scientific study ( a few beers ), for ease of use.

EXAMPLE:
Jon Anderson would be an HOM rating of 0.0.
Captain Beefheart HOM 9.0
Me (TheFish) HOM 9.9. (you have never heard me sing )

You may now obtain your Phd in HOM.

Don't get excited this is a joke.

I am sorry if the topic offends anyone with opposite views.
