DianaC Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 I'm sure inlove with Robert Plant's voice, but I must say I enjoy other singers as well, specially if their sound is still good when singing live. Roger Waters is among them, his voice is quite beautiful and it hasn't really change a lot, I had the luck to hear him live and he still sounds incredible. Till Lindemann, the vocalist from Rammstein is another one I totally admire, with so much power in his voice and in his lyrics. Marilyn Manson is one of my fave singers since when I was in school, I was probably 14 or 15 when I started liking his music, I had the chance to see him live too and I must say I was blown away by his performance, and not to mention the quality of his voice, it was totally amazing, his concert was in september 2008, I was 24 and believe it or not, I went with my mom!!! hehehehe We went together to the Roger Waters concert too... There's a lot more others, but I wont go into much detail, there's bands like Deep Purple, Styx, Queen, The Doors, those are my classic rock crushes. There's a few "not so new" ones too, like the Ret Hot Chili Peppers, Green Day, Rob Zombie, Gorillaz, umm... I'm pretty sure there's more but that's all I remember right now hehehe PEACE!!

Gegenschein Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 It seems to me that this thread belongs in OTHER BANDS forum, because the question is about vocalists (plural) - if we talk LZ there's one and only fantastic vocalist, Percy. In "others" category my list would be long and winding, because I like a lot of singers (it might be easier to list those I don't like) so I'll limit it to the ones I can readily remember: Terry Reid David Gilmour Claire Hamill Ray Davies Victor Brox Steve Marriott Steve Kilbey Steve Winwood Peter Murphy Tom Verlaine Freddie Mercury Ian Lloyd Ian Gillan Tim Buckley Jeff Buckley Brian May Mariska Veres Grace Slick Dorothy Moskowitz Pall Jenkins Steve Bays (pre-Elevator only) James Mercer ...

Angel With A Broken Wing Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 A lot of great ones already mentioned. Some of my favorite rock vocalists are Robert Plant (natch), Justin Hayward, Jon Anderson, and Geddy Lee and pondering now the reason why is because they have such unique, distinctive voices. And I've always favored British bands over American just because the accent is so darn cute. Likewise with the Aussie singers. Am also into neoclassical/crossover in a big way, particularly tenors. My top three are Vittorio Grigolo, Mario Frangoulis and Andrea Bocelli. The reason I enjoy them so much, in a word, is it's ROMANTIC! They all can sing many languages beautifully & perfectly (to a lesser or greater extent, Mario is the best all-round).....English, Italian, Greek, Spanish, French, Latin, etc. Other than the English, I can't understand a word they're singing, it could be "I'm picking up a baby bumblebee" for all I know, but it sounds soooo incredibly sexy that I have to listen over & over again. Here's a nice duet by Mario Frangoulis & Justin Hayward: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pip Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 Annie Lennox - love her Freddy Mercury - love him there are more but I have to go to bed... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xtazy Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 No point in mentioning Robert, I guess. Except him, the one dominating my list is Bon Scott. Just gotta love his whiskey-soaked voice. And he was a great frontman too. After these 2 comes Phil Lynott, Freddie Mercury and Stevie Ray Vaughan, who also have great, distinctive voices. Stevie sort of mixes his incredible guitar skills with his soulful voice. Too bad he's gone (just like Phil, Freddie and Bon actually). Good thing we still have Robert. Others: Eric Clapton, Paul McCartney, Albert King, Axl Rose, Jack White, Bob Dylan, Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Elvis Presley and so on...

Mona Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 - Freddie Mercury - Robert Plant - John Lennon - Paul McCartney - Jeff Buckley - David Byrne - Gerard Way - Ed Roland - Joni Micthell - Brendan Benson That's all for now. I can't think too clearly at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
