Best Singer of all time/ Favorites?
Just throwing a topic to get to know a few people and hopefully have a few stimulating conversations.
I just want to know your favorite singers, or who you believe is the greatest singer of all time. Any type of music. A few reasons for your thinking would be appreciated. Just so that I would have something to talk to you about.
So I will start.
My favorite singer is Freddie Mercury, without a doubt. The range of his voice in terms of notes as well as musical styles. Also he had a delightful flexibility in the timber of his singing voice, running from a very harsh "rock" sound to a very lyric quality, all very naturally.
As far as best singer of all time. I believe that I will have to hear some arguments from my fellow posters before I can make a decision for myself.

Mike Patton but close second would be Dax Riggs....I like dynamic vocal ranges but I have a sweet spot in my ear for unique voices like Bob Dylan and Tom Waits and beautiful voices like Otis Redding or Frank Sinatra. I can't really find a scale to gauge these voices to see who is better because they are just their own like you hear them and you know them Jim Morrison's voice you know it when you hear it, Glenn Danzig you know it.....and i thank the gods they don't all sound the same...

Yeah I definitely agree with your opinion on some of the more unique voices in music. Bob Dylan is definitely one of my favorite singers, his voice to me is transcendental. Part of my problem with the music today is that everyone is really starting to sound too similiar. I'm not trying to say that everyone does sound the same, but it just seems that vocalists today are trying to hard to sound like someone else.

I've noticed a Britrock Punk False-falsetto going I call it the Brat-Punk Whine I hear it in too many songs and it's annoying how they all try to get a little sex pistols accent in their voices....but they can't take all the blame cause they wouldn't be selling records if more people found it as hackneyed as I do...

Picked up on the Shaw-Blades "Influence" CD, that was nice cause it revisits the original artists... Then cranked up some old James Taylor,
The Eagles, and Chicago...

Me I've been back in highscool daze with Shannon Hoon, Scott Weiland Eddie Vedder, Lynn Strait, Kurt, Thom and so many others with awesome voices... Originally Posted by The Monkey Man

Even though Lynn wasn't a beautiful voice it was unique and set the stage for what came in the next few years
gotta love those lyrics too...
can't forget the set of lungs on Lajon
Such great voices right there at the turn of the millenium
And almost all of those guys can trace back to Phil Anselmo, Glenn Danzig, Mike Patton, etc. as big influences....Coarse edged youth, the irish pendants string from their smiles

As far as power, vocal range and versatility I'm going to go with Freddy Mercury.

Honorable mention to James Keenan -
In his live Tool performances he can yell as long as he can on the studio albums.

One of my favs is actually my best mate:
MySpace.com - Son of Science - UK - Progressive / Metal / Experimental - www.myspace.com/sonofscience
"forever in a day" is an awesome song. He's got great tone and style, and a shitload of technical ability. Pisses over most of the "singers" i hear atm in metal or otherwise.
Other than him, i like James LaBrie, Nils K Rue, Mikael Akerfeldt, Prince, Colin Hay...shittonne of others for various reasons.http://www.getlifting.info

Haha I don't know very many of the names being thrown out here. It looks like I have a lot of good music that I have to listen to!
James Labrie is the lead singer for Dreamtheater right?
I'm really fond of Michael Jackson's singing, but as dynamic as his voice is it gets kind of stale after a little while. Does anyone else find this to be true?Last edited by MCarty18; 04-04-2008 at 03:20 PM. Reason: I'm an idiot and I wrote something that made no sense.

damn gaz but respect your self and the secret agent song both freaking rock hard. i dont have a fav singer at all i like all diffrent types. some singers just impress me like bruce willis who i thought would not be able to sing. to pick a favorite would be a toss between frank sinatra and dean martin for me.
i bet in the world you live in every one is a pony, eats rainbows, and craps butterflys.
