Best male singing voice ever...who has it?!

[Joe Schmoe]

Dean Martin and James Hetfield

Hmm. That would make an interesting duet!

 

[Joe Schmoe]

I still think Neil Diamond has the best voice. (The material and the act are another matter, of course.)

Cannot comment on Rock or R&B because my listening pleasure resides with a different kind of music. However, my favorite male singers for different types of sound are:

For Musicianship: Mel Torme
For Range: John Gary
For Tonal quality: Vic Damone
For Style: Frank Sinatra
For Drama: Sammy Davis, Jr.
For The Show Stopper: Al Jolson

The best single theatrical tour-de-force performance I ever saw was Robert Merrill in "Fiddler on the Roof."

 

[FeisalK]

Lou Gramm (Foreigner) deserves a mention

 

[Tarub]

Steve Perry (Journey)
Don Henly (Eagles)
Bryan Adams

I will go with Mike Patton on this one. Very talented singer and probably the most diverse.

I gotta go with Maynard Keenan from Tool. From singing to screaming, he blows me away.

If you love that classic rock sound, check out the band Silvertide. Their lead singer can really belt it out.

 

[Zzyzx]

Klaus Nomi

 

[jliedeka]

Geoff Tate of Queensryche. I SO envy his range.

Jim

 

[newaudiofile]

Sorry . . . I'm actually laughing at some if these choices.

Van Morrison.

First Choice that came to mind.

What can I say? The guy is just Great!

"Philosophers stone".

"Queen of the Slipstream" when I think of my girl.
"Into the mystic"
"Just like Greta" when I want solitude.


That voice just sends you where you want to be, "Tir Na N'Og"

And the lyrics.........?
Hmmm.

I just saw Lindsey Buckingham play last night - I'd have to put him in the running. And he sounds 100% as good as he did 30 years ago, which not many rock 'singers' can claim.

 

[sgtpepper9]

The late Shannon Hoon of Blind Melon

 

[Vart]

eddie vedder my fav though.

x2

If you haven't heard it listen to the Into the Wild soundtrack.I think it really shows the range of what Eddie can do.

 

[voltainthesky]

My vote goes for Anthony Green, and the singers from Sigur Ros or Mars Volta

 

[speakerman39]

Well, my favorite of all-time would easily be Freddy Mercury from Queen. He has an amazing voice period. Second, I would have to say Dennis DeYoung from STYX. Third would have to go to the lead singer from Rascall Flatts. Lastly, I would have to give a shout out to the lead singer from Savage Garden. Here is a video of him singing and all I can say is what a voice!

I would also like to mention Ozzy Osborne-what a voice as well! Need I say more?

Cheers,

Phil

 

[speakerman39]

A couple more I would like to mention is Peter Cetera from the group Chicago and Vince Neil from Motley Crue. Here is one of my favs of Motley:

Cheers,
