There's a cd of Hallows + Walking Dead that is a boot, though some suggest David Chandler was involved in pressing these up (not that his involvment automatically makes it a legit pressing).

You're right about the mp3 age.... I wonder if, in this era of having easy access to so much music, some old classics are getting overlooked by younger fans because there's simply too much music to sort through? Some youngsters d/l everything in sight but they never play any of it. Great example; someone on a different forum once asked what a band sounded like. I posted a reply and offered to burn him one of their albums if he wanted to trade cd-r's. His response: "no thanks, I downloaded all their albums 2-3 years ago, I just never got around to listening to them" :lol:

Yes, that's true. I'm a "download kid" since I'm sort of "new" into REAL and cult metal (about 3 or 4 years, maybe 5), and living in a small city in Argentina makes me depend a lot on downloads, but I know a lot of people who download stuff and never really get to listen to it, it's like having 40000 mp3s is their only goal. Plus, what I always do is trying to look for the older material of the older bands first, and from then I keep going forward.

I'm for Scott too, though I appreciate the lyrics of Wino a lot. Straight-shooter, that man.

Big SV fan over here and I think their first two are their best albums. So Reagers for me, although I always liked their Wino-period too, with Born Too Late as my favourite.

When I see everyone agreeing like this, I instinctively want to voice dissent, but in this case I really can't. I appreciate the Saint Vitus recordings done with Wino. Hell, I even love them, but the Reagers stuff is one level higher up the scale.

I was sure that the guy from Count Raven wouldn't get any votes (don't go to vote him now just to prove that I'm wrong) but I included him so the poll would be more complete.
I'm glad to see that as a "newbie" I made the same choice as most of you, who are into this for several years. It makes me think that I'm in the right way!

The poll could've been even more complete by including Dave Chandler. He's great too.

Reagers of course. He's got good range and his vocals have a creepy sound to them. Very unique.

About Chandler, I didn't include him because he doesn't excludes the other categories. I mean, he just did vocals in some songs, he was never "the vocalist" of SV. Plus, if I'm not wrong, he did vocals with the three different vocalists in the line up.

For me, its Scott Reagers. Absolutely no doubt about it...

"Burial At Sea" is definitely my favorite Saint Vitus song, easily!
