Top 1o Favorite Voices
Ok, so this might be a little random, but I've been thinking lately about how often, thanks to my favorite music, I listen to the same singing voices a lot. A lot of my favorite voices (which differs from singers, IMO) are pretty different from each other, and while obviously reflect my favorite bands, aren't necessarily limited to them. So I decided to rank my Top 10 favorite voices to listen to.
1. Lindsey Buckingham 2. Robin Gibb of The Bee Gees 3. Carl Wilson of The Beach Boys 4. Michael Stipe of REM 5. Bill Champlin of Chicago 6. Stevie Nicks 7. Steve Perry of Journey 8. Christine McVie 9. Zac Hanson of Hanson 10. Martin Sexton Anybody want to play? |
We made a list of favorite pop/rock singers awhile back. I remember a few:
1. Peter Gabriel 2. Frankie Goes to Hollywood singer 3. Sting 4. Christine McVie 5. Brian Setzer |
I don't have ten at the moment, but in addition to some of the people you guys mentioned, I'll add:
Debbie Harry Kate Pierson and Cindy Wilson Dave Gahan Beth Gibbons Annie Lennox Karen Carpenter Cyndi Lauper Dusty Springfield |
Okay, I have way more than ten:
Male: Lindsey Buckingham Mark King - Level 42 & solo work Peter Murphy - Bauhaus & solo work Paul Weller - The Style Council & solo work Justin Currie - Del Amitri Steve Perry Peter Gabriel David Bowie Female: Tracey Thorn of Everything But The Girl Diana Krall Lisa Gerrard of Dead Can Cance Stevie Nicks Joni Mitchell Johnette Napolitano of Concrete Blonde Chaka Khan Annie Lennox and there are probably so many more.... |
Let's see:
(in varying order) Stevie Nicks Sarah Mclachlan Dame Shirley Bassey Ann Wilson Steve Perry Linda Eder Sting Annie Lennox Pat Benatar Ronnie Milsap |
In no order:
Stevie Nicks Ann Wilson Annie Lennox Pat Benatar Freddie Mercury Steve Perry Geddy Lee That's all I can come up with right now, though there's surely more than that. |
Difficult to choose really but in the mainstream rock/pop genre-
My three absolute favourites (though I probably admire their songwriting more than their voices) are - Donald Fagan (Steely Dan) Bruce Springsteen Lindsey Other male singers include - Stevie Wonder Al Green Smokey Robinson Ben Folds Lloyd Cole Elvis Costello Paul Weller The Finn Brothers (Crowded House) Carl/Dennis Wilson Jimmy Barnes Brian Johnson/Bon Scott (and I can't wait to hear what Brendan O'Brien has done with the new ACDC album) And the women Cassandra Wilson Chrissie Hynde Joni Kd Lang Mindy Smith |
