Greatest voice of all time goes to Steve Perry from Journey.

Freddie Mercury wipes the floor with Steve Perry imo. Dat vocal range bruh.

Seriously, though Queen at Live Aid is widely considered the great live rock performance of all time. Mercury sounded like a god performing live.

Ehh, while I agree that if I ever played soccer and was good at it I would most likely have a different opinion, I disagree that the reason I don't like it is because I wasn't coordinated enough to play it. From the little I've dabbled in soccer, I don't think more coordination is required than hitting a baseball, golf ball, or even dribbling a basketball. I could be wrong as I never played soccer at a high level like I did baseball and basketball, but I don't just honestly don't think that's the reason I don't enjoy watching soccer.

I used to absolutely despise everything about soccer. I didn't really follow it before the 2010 World Cup. After that I started to understand the nuances of the game, which actually made it fun to watch for me. Once you understand it you can see why it's called The Beautiful Game

But soccer is definitely not a sissy sport. I've seen some crazy terrible injuries in my time, and sustained some pretty good ones as well (headbutt to the face...I wear glasses. The blood was plentiful.) Plus, the average soccer player runs 7-9 miles a game. Typically, 90 minutes of non-stop running. It's intense.

Vidic is one of the toughest defenders I've ever seen. Gave his all every game and he usually ended up like this

To me, this is Still the scariest movie I've ever seen

At the risk of sounding like a complete pansy i slept with the lights on for a few nights after watching it in theaters the first time. And even now when my wife isn't home, I sleep with a little light on - like a bathroom light or something.

lol

I agree completely. Scariest movie I've ever seen and I had to have the lights on for a few days after seeing it in the theatre. First off, I don't typically watch scary movies. Not a fan of being scared so you can imagine how badly this movie messed with me.

I remember it very clearly. I was a senior at UT and a friend and I went the day after it opened. The theatre was packed, we were sitting halfway up in the middle. And just before the movie starts the guy next to me leaned over and said, "I saw this last night and it scared me so much I had to come back tonight to watch it again." I was like a little girl covering my eyes during some of the scenes. When the movie was over I was sweaty as hell, like I has just run a mile lol.

I tried to watch it when it came on HBO but never made it past the first jump out at you scary scene. That movie is nuts.

Palms sweaty just typing this haha.

Can't quite agree with the comparison. In soccer you can steal some breaks when the ball has switched play from your area of the field. In hockey you go 100% or get off. When you play hockey with no line changes, the play suffers pretty dramatically.

Yeah there's definitely some merit to this but the cardio required to play soccer at a high level is pretty insane. More so than hockey but hockey is way more physical.

Rugby is the perfect balance of physicality and conditioning in sport IMO. Played football with Mack Crowder's dad and it's one of the easiest sports with breaks between plays and pads for protection. Soccer is definitely cardio intense and takes years to perfect the incredible ball control needed to play at the collegiate level. Rugby (especially sevens ) with scrums, no timeouts and tackling requires cardio unequalled by other major sports. Without pad protection rugby requires tackling skills now lost in american football which absolutely drains you physically and mentally with no breaks between plays. Weaker, pain scared athletes make the jokes that ruggers are simply barbarians but the guys that I played with and against that ended up as doctors,
lawyers and engineers all knew that was usually them making excuses for their fear to try playing it.

Actually the artist with the best voice to ever be recorded was Jeff Buckley. He had even more range than Pavarotti, too bad he died so young.
