best singing voice

lumberjim · 11-01-2008, 10:33 PM

it's one of those polls

elSicomoro · 11-01-2008, 11:21 PM

Best and most distinctive aren't necessarily the same thing. For example, Peter Garrett (Midnight Oil) and Dave Matthews are quite distinctive, but they wouldn't be in my best-of list.

I can't pick just one, but Karen Carpenter would definitely be up there...they say she had perfect pitch.

I wish Tarja Turunen was on the list. She is my fave! I ended up voting for Johnny Cash

lumberjim · 11-01-2008, 11:31 PM

i can't choose

I couldn't tell you which one is the best, but I'd like to register an anti-vote for Bob Dylan. His voice makes my bowels weak. Only other people should be allowed to sing his songs.

lumberjim · 11-01-2008, 11:42 PM

early Dylan

Robert Plant for his amazing masterful musicality.

Cash is distinctive, and a close second.

elSicomoro · 11-02-2008, 12:50 AM

Of those on the list, I had to go with Chris Cornell. I idolized him in high school...Goddamn, that dude can wail. Listening to "Slaves & Bulldozers" by Soundgarden still gives me chills.

elSicomoro · 11-02-2008, 12:52 AM

Hey, did anyone else read that LZ is threatening to tour without Robert Plant...WTF?!

Crimson Ghost · 11-02-2008, 12:58 AM

Zoli - from Ignite
Bif Naked
Glenn Danzig
Fergie
Bruce Dickinson - aka The Human Air Raid Siren
King Diamond
Aja Kim (Bruce "Lee" Chickinson)

------------------------------------

Remember, best and most distinctive are two seperate things.

Sting
Bono
Both so distinctive, can make the hairs on my arms stand up.

Neil Finn - has such great range and is effortless in the higher registers.

Christina Aquilera - not my style of music, but man she can belt them out. When she happens to sing a song I like, I really admire her voice.
