Deep_Zeppelin Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 Ronnie Dio is of course the best. I like also Jyrki69 (of The 69 Eyes), Robert Plant, Ville Valo and David Coverdale. Gillan was good in seventies, but nowadays he sounds like a pig to me. Joe Lynn Turner has a good sound too. Axl Rose isn't singing at all to me!

Xtazy Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 Robert Plant is my no. 1! Next are Bon Scott, Brian Johnson, Phil Lynott, Freddie Mercury, Axl Rose, Klaus Meine, Eric Clapton, Steven Tyler, Phil Collins, Rod Stewart, Bob Marley, Kurt Cobain, Roger Daltrey, Albert King and others.

Chuck Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 Oh, it's many! But some examples, Robert Plant, Bruce Dickinson, Paul D'ianno (former Iron Maiden-singer), James Hetfield (in the old Metallica-songs), John Lennon, Paul McCartney, Marie Fredriksson, Per Gessle, Zack De La Rocha, John Lydon Aka Johnny Rotten (he has no fine voice, but good in other ways. Can be funny sometimes xD), Jon Bon Jovi, Kurt Cobain, Steve Tyler, Ray Davies, Howlin' Pelle, Some good singers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reswati Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 Robert Plant Jeff Buckley (check out his Zeppelin cover of Night Flight on youtube, spine chilling stuff and five octaves) Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan Albert Kuvezin (From the Mongolian band Yat Kha....he can sing two voices at the same time without trickery, very weird and amazing) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JukeboxJim Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 Chris Cornell is number one for me, pretty easily. Plant is up there too, of course, Geoff Tate, Bon Scott, Ozzy(namely Sabbath years, and the Ozzmosis album, nothing after that), James Labrie, Wayne Coyne, Johnny Cash, Steve Perry, Rob Halford. I'm stopping now before I list every half-assed decent singer I like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LedZep4Ever Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 The best is Robert Plant. Yes indeed! I also like the following a lot: Jon Anderson (Yes) Freddie Mercury (Queen) Paul Rodgers (Bad Company) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jarlaxle 56 Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 Honestly, I think the vocals are easily the weakest link in Yes. I'd much rather listen to just Squire, Howe, and Bruford. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LedNoodle Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 Freddie Mercury Robert Plant Paul Rogers Lou Gramm Roger Daltrey Bruce Dickinson ...all obvious choices but look who we forgot: Ann Wilson = amazing in all ways possible Iggy Pop and the oft-overlooked Cryssie Hynde!

metal box Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 Honestly, I think the vocals are easily the weakest link in Yes. I'd much rather listen to just Squire, Howe, and Bruford. I second that motion. David Byrne - he's got character, man. Just listen him on Remain In Light - Born Under Punches is incredible. Ian Curtis John Fogerty what's-her-name from Portishead, Beth Gibbons? Mark E Smith Thom Yorke 'n some others I've probly forgotten. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pinky Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 Well Robert Plant is definatley the most powerful (the strength of his voice) vocalist of all time especially to sing that high that loud,strong,and long. edit: Freddie Mercury is very good too.

Dio said in one interview that when he was young he played trumpet s he learned the right breathing technigue. Ian Gillan did good screamin' but it ruined his great voice. Coverdale has lost it -sadly too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LedNoodle Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 some overrated singers mentioned here: -Thom Yorke. he cannot sing for crap. sounds like he's getting hit in the nuts with a hammer. -Kurt Cobain. unique voice, yes, but people who put him in company with plant, freddie, etc, need to get a brain. good songwriter, though. oh, and i always thought David Bowie was a good singer.
