Because I like such a huge range of music, it would be very difficult to point out 1 voice! But if had to pick out 1, it would more than likely be..... Nat King Cole. His voice has a resonance and

My favorite singer is Elton John, the 70's era. He is one of those fine singers that makes one feel the meaning of the lyrics with his vocals, listen to these mind blowing songs, Levon, Tiny Dancer,

Oh, sorry. :rolleyes: I take things way too seriously..

Some of his lyrics have deep meanings and simply sound good to me. So he's ONE of my favorites. I have other influences..

Yeh, I think Bowie was 'of his time' as they say! He was pretty far out there which suited me! My Dad hated him! :)

I like him because he's different. His voice is very unique, and his lyrical style is interesting to me..

I like too many artists to name. Too many styles of rock to choose from, too. :rolleyes:

Evan Dando from the Lemonheads - he has such a versatile and expressive voice, he writes great songs and has a great ear for spotting songs to cover - I like the Gram Parsons and Lucinda Williams songs he sings - I've seen him twice where he's been totally in the zone when it came to his solo acoustic spot - you could hear a pin drop. He struck me as a real pro when it came to performing - I didn't get the feeling he was going through the motions on songs he must have sang a thousand times - he put everything into making them sound fresh and new. He has so much colour in his voice even when he's just talking (yes - he smoked a lot of crack at one time but his voice, against all the odds, has survived in tact) - the recording engineers on his last album said that they had virtually nothing to straightenout usng the autotune technology that is in fairly common use in the studio these days - he has great pitch.

As Finn said Peter Gabriel (for the rich colours he can produce just like Dando) and Kate Bush (been listening to Aerial today in fact) and I even agree on Annie Lennox - she was astounding live.

Daniel Lanois is a favourite - again for the rich tapestry in his voice and lyrics and for his production work - he is a very musical guy in his own right but he also gets such great results from the artists he works with - Dylan, Willie Nelson, Emmylou, U2, Eno, etc.

John Lennon, Liam Gallagher (I love his voice, strangely enough) and probably Elvis should get honourable mention.

Yes - Elvis, the 3 albums of out-takes from 56-57 show what a genuinely awesome voice he had.

Another LP fan :o

Chester Bennington will always be the best singer (to me atleast). He's done alot of covers that I think are better than the original. Like Highway To Hell, Anything and a duo with Motley Crue performing Home Sweet Home :) Have you ever heard of Grey Daze? Chester is the main singer and he rocks even when he was 16 :)

P.S. I'm curious to how he will sound in his 60s... hehehe...

interested to know.. whats your favorite singers and why? - not from an overall frontman point, but the actual voice..

personally i'm fed up with most up and comming rock bands with the ra ra ra or whining screamo crapola. - rob halford is my current favorite due to his range and power.. perhaps not so much his tone - but he is a damn impressive hard rock singer by all accounts.

JAMES HETFIELD! Sorry but his vocal skills are fantastic, not too screamo, just a hard aggressive rock voice but with a subtle gentle quality to it :)

As a Christian, I don't agree with Phoebe Snow's spiritual views, but she has one of better voices in modern music in both power and range.

personally, my favorites r the teen aged ones like Selena Gomez and Demi Lovato.

but also Kelly Clarkson and Jessica Mauboy, winners of American Idol and Australian idol.

also, their lyrics have meaning behind them making them more appealing to me, as well as the music.

they have some kind of technoish rock/pop.

i also agree with euphoriamorning on the screamo and ra ra ra thing... i hate it so much...

also the techno stuff they do to their voices... it just ruins them.

Willie Nelson, Elton John, Robert Earl Keen, Eva Cassidy, and my favorite voice is Larnelle Harriss. Incredible pipes. I know that I am leaving way to many out, and Elton is not a true lyrist but he never ceases to blow my mind.

Thom Yorke, he has an excellent range and great control over his voice. (It's so peaceful and pretty.)

"Whining screamo crapola"? I kind of take offense to this actually. I respect all music and just because you DON'T like it doesn't give you the right to call it "crapola". It is one of my favorite genres. But, along with rap. And classical music such as Pachabel, my favorite composer. And my favorite vocalist is Jeremy DePoyster by the way. He has an amazing range and great control over his voice. Just listen to Louder than Thunder by The Devil Wears Prada.

Elliott Smith, John Lennon, Frank Zappa; anyone with enough brains to write great stuff and enough vision to convey it meaningfully
