Who are the most confident and/or arrogant lead singers you listen to?
+ Britt Daniel--Spoon. Hands down the baddest, most in your face arrogant mo-fo in American rock today. That guy could sing "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star" and make my mother blush.
+Brandon Flowers--The Killers. Kind of like the kid in high school who thought they were the king of the world and knew everything before they even had a chance to learn that there's a massive world outside the halls of high school that's waiting to completely obliterate his soul.
+Nick Thorburn--The Unicorns, Islands. The kind of arrogance that makes a person believe that the world is holding their breath to hear every word or idea that comes out of their mouth.
+John Darnielle--The Mountain Goats. The kind of arrogance that says, "I've read every book in the world and can reference any sentence or concept from any of those books at any given time so BOW TO ME!"
+Matt Berninger--The National. The quiet, brooding arrogance. "I don't know you, I don't need or want to know you. This is my gig. So #$@ off. No more questions."
+Jack White--The White Stripes. "I used to re-upholster furniture now I rock. I'm from Detroit. I'm an enigma and I play the marimba and I don't let my drummer who's my exwife practice because our sound is really my sound. And you have no idea what I'm going to do next!" Magician arrogance.
+Sufjan Stevens--Sufjan Stevens. Kind of like John Darnielle but with instruments instead of literature. He's kind of like the Chinese water torture of music. You know the one where you're tied down and a drop of water falls on your forehead until you go mad? He'll throw so many different stringed instruments at you you'll love it at first and then after three songs (three songs max!) you'll wish an Asthmatic Kitty would come gnaw your heart out.
+Ted Leo--Ted Leo and the Pharmacists. "Let's kick this @#$% out! #$%@ the establishment! #@$%@ meat eaters! Is that blood seeping out of my tear ducts?! @#$% tear ducts!"
+Jeff Tweedy--Wilco. "Yeah? You don't like our album? Well I'll sue you for my tapes, take my tapes elsewhere and then release the biggest record of the new century. Then I'll put out a string of amazingly solid, tight groundbreaking work that'll be nominated for and win Grammy's. And I'll do it all with massive migraine headaches. Step aside."
