Here's the thing about Mike. The man has some serious pipes. He has a six octave range and excels in any octave. He writes brilliant songs. And his stage presence is only matched by Adolf Hitler.
Seriously, Watch Mr. Bungle play Pink Cigarette at Bizarre Festival and then watch a video of the Nuremburg rallies. We better thank our lucky stars Mike didn't go into politics or he would have taken over the world.
But Mr. Bungle as a whole had a brilliant dynamic. It wasn't just the Mike Patton backup band. They all made huge creative contributions to what made Bungle what it is. Yes Mike wrote Girls of Porn, Sweet Charity and The Air conditioned Nightmare.
But Trevor Dunn wrote Retrovertigo, The holy Filament and Phlegmatics. Trey Spruance wrote Desert Search for Techno Allah, None of them know they were robots, Golem II the bionic vapour boy.
Other bands like Nirvana for instance were not like that. Nirvana was basically just the Kurt Cobain backup band. Mr. Bungle was the perfect storm of legendary talent, and Mike was the face of it all, the delicious cherry on top of an already delicious sundae.
He was the ambassador that allowed the amazing talent of the combo that was Mr. Bungle to be brought into our lives. He was the prism that focused the lazer beams from the brains of Trevor, Trey, Heifietz and Mckinnon and amplified them until they were powerful enough to blow our minds out through our ear holes.
Yes, he is the most incredible front man who has ever lived, hands down.

John Mayer, despite a limited range, is a fantastic live singer

That was a lot of fun to read anon, thank you. For what it's worth, I agree with you on most accounts; Mr. Bungle is one of the better examples of how a true musical "collective" can be much more than one person's vision. Honestly, I think Mike brings that to most projects he's involved in. Phantomas would be another example.
I know he's basically a living legend, but just because of the nature of his work, I would still argue he's underrated. This is a man with a massive, unique, and stylistically diverse body of work. I think that will be appreciated much more as we look back on his life and career years from now.

I have a fetish for singers with sultry, raspy voices, not like Tom Waits though. It would be like Anderson Paak., Carly Rae, etc.
Fiona's objectively the best female pop singer.
