Top 1o Favorite Voices

[bucklind17]

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?
