I'm opposed to bare-chested male vocalists except for Iggy Pop. It's okay of Iggy because he has a special dispensation from the Pope to perform without a shirt on.
There's a creepy homoerotic S&M fetish subtext when a bare-chested man is screaming in agony.
I'm thankful that Tony Bennett and Elvis Costello haven't gone the shirtless route, yet.
