Surprised noone has mentioned Paul Rodgers yet. Gotta be right up there as one of the best rock/ blues singers of all time, I would've thought.

Jimmy Cliff
Aaron Neville
Toots Hibbert
Sam Cooke
Eddie Vedder
Cat Stevens

this thread reminds me that people don't know the difference between the words "best" and "favorite".

Best rock vocalist - Freddie Mercury
Best Metal Vocalist - Chuck Billy

:D

Yeh it's usually hat happens with these kinda deals.

Damn!!! I forgot about Freddie Mercury and Kurt Cobain.:eek:

Dallas Green
Ville Valo
Michale Graves
Josh Franceschi

For horror music? Glenn Danzig hands down.

Wouldn't you consider your favorite male vocalist to be the best? I'll try to separate:

Best:

Tom Jones
Freddie Mercury
Johnny Cash
Mick Jagger

Favorite:

Bruce Dickinson
Ozzy Osbourne
Rob Halford
Richard Butler

Honorable Mention: Christopher Lee (The Tinker Of Rye from The Wicker Man and his work on Charlemagne's By The Sword And By The Cross).

There is no such thing as the BEST singer or BEST band. It's all about feeling and your opinions. Well besides the fact that Chad Kroger is the BEST singer and Nickleback is the BEST band ever...jk

Ville Valo
Lauri Ylonen
Gary Lightbody
Brandon Flowers
Gerard Way

Old thread :)


Funny how opinions change.

Freddie Mercury will always be the best male singer of all time in my opinion.

Plenty of others but i'm too tired to think.

if it's best out of all male vocalists in the world, I would have to say andrea bocelli. rock vocalist would probably be elvis presley or freddie mercury.

my favorite rock vocalist is either mike patton or david bowie

Roy Orbison is under appreciated IMO and deserves a mention

and let's not forget one half of the HDC best musical act ever 09 winners

Ah, yes!

MD: For some reason, you're the only person that said Little Richard. So a :) to you.

EPIC vocal track:



One of my favorite male vocalists:

Oh, and I'm surprised I didn't notice Tom Waits in here at all.
The variety and range he has is unbelievable.

Abner Jay fuckin' kills it.

Oh man, that guy is unbelievable. He's another one that has incredible variety. There's a song of his called "Cleo" and he sounds sooo much like Roy Orbison.

Peter fucking Frampton live.
