Since there's a guitarist thread, I'd thought I'd start a vocalist thread.

So, who do you think is the best vocalists are?

I'd go for Freddy Mercury and Glenn Danzig

Hey, I was gonna say Glenn Danzig too!

GD rocks...has a great range in his vocals...

Plus the dark and bluesy sound of his voice is perfect for the songs he sings.

Morrissey

Robert Plant of Led Zeppelin. ;)

Female vocals: Johnette Napolitano from Concrete Blonde or Amy Lee from Evanescence...

For some reason Amy Lee makes my blood crawl.

Amy Lee is good, but she hasn't found "it" yet.

Male: Tie

Mercury/Plant

I'd love to post my vote, but I still havn't stopped laughing over Danzig. Jesus, there's no excuse for taste!

no way of deciding

this thread is perfectly impossible

there are so many genres of great singers... classical? opera? pop? rock? unique?

and you can't even compare those.

no way to narrow it to one.

danzig and mike patton

I have to agree with Avia. How do you compare James Brown to Pavorotti to Freddy Mercury? They're all great in their respective genres, but how do you choose one over the other?

Joe Williams, Dawn Upshaw (she does modern works, which makes her cool), Chet Baker (dig the harsh whisper)...brain shut down again....ah well...as with the guitar thing, we're on the same planet but different worlds....

Robert Plant of Led Zeppelin. ;)

Amen to dat!

And Paul McCartney, who needs no introduction

Freddy Mercury

I'd love to post my vote, but I still havn't stopped laughing over Danzig. Jesus, there's no excuse for taste!

Quiet.

Which explains the sports fans who miss Nomar......

Lisa Gerrard
Johnny Cash
Brendan Perry
Frank Sinatra
and of course, Pavarotti

i would say that one of the best vocalists of all time is eddie vedder from pearl jam.
