Jon Anderson (One of the few people who sounds like an Elf)

Edith Piaf (A truly tortured soul)

Simon and Garfunkel (Combined they are heavenly perfect)

Janis Joplin (Energetic, tortured, raspy and bluesy...........for sur she had a lotta soul)

Skin (Beats many males in power)

Devin Townsend (For his many styles and complete weirdness)

My favorite rock vocalists at the moment:

Jim Morrison

Mike Patton

Morrissey

Scott Weiland

[Stairway is NOT stolen]

My favorite Vocalists are, in no particular order:

Robert Plant. This is an obvious one, as we are on a Zeppelin forum. His voice can do many things at once, and he is the only one who can do Stairway to Heaven justice IMO.

David Gilmour. His voice, along with his Guitaring, is so mesmorising and Special that you really listen to what he sings.

Roger Waters. His voice, although not the best singer ever, packs what many singers don't have, which is pure emotion. Listen to 'Don't leave me now' by Pink Floyd to understand what I mean.

Jimi hendrix. His Guitaring is better, but he is still a really good singer as well.

Jim Morrison. His voice is very soothing and represents the drug influenced music that The Doors manages to pull of incredibly effortless.

Joe Elliot. His work in Def Leppard is brilliant. i like to think of Def Leppard as the 80s version of Led Zeppelin.
