One of the greats for sure.

Rob Halford really takes the cake. Crazy range and total power!

Vodstok 11-08-2008 07:44 PM

Maynard James Keenan, powerful voice.

Layne Staley was God though.

newb 11-08-2008 07:52 PM

Geoff Tate is good

DIO...fucking rules

no better white boy blues singer then Greg Allman

Despare 11-08-2008 08:49 PM

Among the hundreds I like... how about Mike Patton?

So many good male vocalists out there though, I can't get enough of David Bowie's voice and Bing Crosby's has always been a favorite of mine.

Oh, i'm sorry, but ol' Stevie Ray always wins for blues.

Yup, definitely Rob Halford with Bruce Dickinson following a CLOSE second (but a lot of that is personal taste...as they are arguably equals).

Halford also gets points for actually sounding BETTER as he gets older, which is fucking insane.

Frank Sinatra.

Despare 11-11-2008 11:23 AM

As Christmas comes around I've been listening to a lot of Bing Crosby whose voice is wonderful.

Oh, damn. How'd I forget Frank?

And Nancy Sinatra for best female!


Who's with me?

Come on!

"These boots were made for....."


Jessica Simpson, ANOTHER talent remade her song and....


Hell, anyway, Frank was a God too. Harry Connick and Michael Buble' only wish they were frank (no tthat I am knocking either)

Posher778 11-11-2008 03:24 PM

Wait, we can't forget the great and late

FREDDIE MERCURY

I'm gonna say Kurt Cobain is MY FAVORITE vocalist. I'm not going to state it as fact. I'm simply amazed at the pain in his voice, especially "Pennyroyal Tea" where he sounds like he's about to burst into tears whenever the hook comes back around.

I prefer his voice in Heart-Shaped Box to anything else.

layne stanely

Skunner 11-18-2008 02:20 PM

Maynard James Keenan is definitely my favourite.

Dio is very good too.

Also love John Lennon, Freddy Mercury, David Draiman, and Ian Gillan.

LilMissScareAll 11-23-2008 09:44 AM

I definitely agree, Layne was the best!

Noah 11-24-2008 09:38 AM

missmacabre 11-24-2008 11:14 AM

I'm gonna throw Jack White from The White Stripes/Raconteurs in there. His voice is great and original. a bit of old country music with a newer 'art school' vibe.

bloody_ribcut 11-24-2008 11:47 AM

Jim Morrison

Angra 11-25-2008 12:18 PM

Tobias Sammet (Edguy)
Steve Perry (Journey)
Lol Mason (City Boy)

mikeyjay88 11-26-2008 12:47 PM

Kurt Cobain is the best!

The Mothman 11-26-2008 02:46 PM

no chance!

evil_deadman 11-27-2008 04:31 PM

Definatively Maynard and Layne are favorites as well as Rob Halford DEFINATIVELY Bon Scott,and Bruce dickinson,im also partial to Steve Tyler (classic aerosmith mostly),Paul Rodgers and Robert Plant.

also like Chris Cornell especially on Audioslaves "I am the highway" and other songs ,and John Garcia of Kyuss,some Kurt Cobain,as his vocals was what i did like about Nirvana,Aaron Lewis of Staind,Sully Erna of Godsmack,Shaun Morgan of Seether,and Phil Anselmo of Pantera

theres probably more,from all generes of rock and metal but cant think of any offhand that really stand out!

Dante'sInferno 11-28-2008 12:21 PM

Frank Sinatra
Bing Crosby
David Bowie
Layne Staley
Tom Araya
David Gahan

CryptKeeper13 11-28-2008 07:00 PM

Dani Filth's range is incredibly impressive

Yeh he's pretty solid. It's kinda funny how Heitfield sounds so much like him these days.

The Mothman 12-02-2008 05:49 PM

i haven't really noticed that, then again, i try to avoid "these days' Metallica.

I knew their new stuff reminded me of someone, but I couldn't place who. Thanks, thats been bugging me.

CrimsonFiend138 12-09-2008 01:49 AM

DANZIG!!! I remember hearing Mother and thought it was Billy Idol then I found out it was Danzig. Danzig is the man. I love lower crooning voices I.E Danzig, Morrison,Elvis.

Def Agree with Layne Stayley and Bowie.

Bon Scott and Brain Johnson sound the same. One of the few higher pitched voices I like.

Johnny Cash, Robert Plant, Dave Mustaine, Eddy Vedder.

Love Josh homme he's got a lower crooner voice that I love.

Also Agree with Jack White, very original and quirky.

I love Mercyful Fate old stuff... dark creepy and funny. Songs like Evil, Satan's fall or A Dangerous Meeting sounds great, thousand times better than other new groups

CrimsonFiend138 12-12-2008 10:42 PM

Yeah they don't.
