Romy

[Nico]

Thom Yorke is the tops for me here. By far.

The, of course, John Lennon. I went through these two pages and was kinda shocked that John wasn't mentioned more than he was. In my opinion, he had one of- if not the- greatest voices in rock and roll. Just incomparable.

Others, no order: Jeff Buckley, Johnny Cash, Ray Charles, Nat King Cole, Frank Sinatra, Paul McCartney, Leonard Cohen, Art Garfunkel, Freddie Mercury, Nick Drake, Roy Orbison, Rufus Wainwright, Bruce Springsteen,Bryan Ferry, James Blunt, Sting, George Harrison, James Brown, Lindsey!!!! and Luciano (hey, why not? I like nice Italian opera stuff now and then).

I have forgotten a lot of people, but this will do for now.

I *kind of* think Don Henley's voice is nice, but his music is too nauseating for me to place him up there...which is why I have mentioned him here. And I like Neil Diamond's voice all right, and his new album, but the older stuff? Uh, no. :eek:

[sparky]

Mmmn. Fun.

Clint Black (so much fun to harmonize with, right in Sparky range)
Chris Cornell (yeah he oversings sometimes, but when he is on, it is nuclear)
Layne Staley
Roy Orbison
Jon Bon Jovi
Dwight Yoakam (such a sweet twangy edge)
Burton Cummings (if only for the classic "These Eyes")
George Michael (the ballads, *swoon* "Kissing a Fool", "Cowboys and Angels" *triple swoon* he's as butch as a feather boa but melts my heart )
Michael Hutchence (vocally, sex on a stick, this guy)
Geoff Tate (of Queensryche...so underrrated, in his prime this guy could blow the roof off a place without a mic with no break in his falsetto...doesn't even sound like a head voice)

[Nico]

Yves Montand


Coolness. I thought I was one of the few people who actually listened to him. Amazing. Totally forgot him.

[dissention]

7. Alex Kapranos


Glad to see I'm not alone. He's got one helluva sexy voice. I loved that recent Entertainment Weekly review that said he sings by "yelping and crooning and conjuring everyone from Ray Davies to David Byrne." Listening to his voice on "Shopping For Blood" gives me an erection. One of the best Franz songs, too.

[Villavic]

Carlos Gardel (probably no one has heard of him-but he was from Uruguay, South America- and was around in the 30's to 40's I think...Car accident _died in his prime...

Some people said he actually was born in France, but he is "uruguayo" in any case, and grew up in Argentina, that's why he sang Mi Buenos Aires querido...

And he died in a plan crash just taking off from Colombia during a tour

[Villavic]

ok, you asked for vocalists, guistarist or composers, so I think in the voice or the feeling when they sing:

Freddie Mercury
Seal
Barry White
Don Henley
David Gilmour
Bryan Adams
Elton John
Nat King Cole
Ray Charles
the 3 bee gees when they sang together...,

Sorry Lindsey (and Sting and Bono and Elvis)..

[Lee]

Yeah, I agree with most of the names on everyone's list, but I have to mention Noah Hunt, of the Kenny Wayne Shepherd band. He's a very talented singer & songwriter.

Lee :)

[Serrart]

Coolness. I thought I was one of the few people who actually listened to him. Amazing. Totally forgot him.

Yes, Montand is a whole experience as a singer, and also as an actor; I'm a huge fan of his.

Romy

[Nico]

Yes, Montand is a whole experience as a singer, and also as an actor; I'm a huge fan of his.

Romy

I remember when the "Rushmore" soundtrack was very popular and a few of my friends were into it because of Elliot Smith's song. And one of Montand's songs is on it, and they were really surprised at how...dramatic his sound was. I think they were impressed. My mom is a really big fan of his, so I was into his music at a younger age (though not aware of who the hell he was back then).

He's a great actor as well. And Marilyn Monroe was totally in awe of him to top it all.

[xdreamsunwindx]

1) Bono
2) Ray Davies
3) Jeff Buckley
4) Neil Young
5) Tom Petty
6) John Doe (X)

Need to think about this ... BUT

I know it's not ten. Hey, I said I'd have to think about it....

[Lee]

Jeez, how could I forget Daryl Hall & John Oates? Oh yeah, they rank up there with me. I've seen them so many times. And I like Scott Stapp, too. :thumbsup: And add Michael McDonald. It's hard for me to compose a list though & then put them in order. :shrug:

~Nicki

[rbs3676]

Ahhh....the men...:nod:

My favorite male singer is the man with a thousand voices, Robin Zander ...he has, without a doubt, such a magnificent voice...I never, never, never tire of listening to him.

Tom Petty is fabulous because he is so distinct...kinda like Stevie in a way, because when he is singing, you KNOW it's Tom...and, in my home, Tom is king...I dont think a day goes by when he isn't played. Love that man.
Also, can there be a better band than the Heartbreakers??? :xoxo:

There are some tracks where George Michael can turn me on like no other...and, in that same vein, so can Michael McDonald...but it really depends on the song...

Charlie Sexton does it for me every time...always has...he is just the dirt to me...he is so incredibly talented...

The late Layne Staley (Alice In Chains) vocals always moved me just in the same way that Scott Weiland can...incredible pipes, those boys...

Michael Stipe gets props cause he is like a female Patti Smith to me...very emotional, very to the core...gotta love Michael...

John Lennon, Neil Young, Bob Dylan and Frank Sinatra simply because they were voices of a generation at various peaks and valleys within the last 50 years of pop music...

Of course, Lindsey Buckingham...what can I say? I love the man....

Last, but certainly not least, Joey Ramone had such a distinct vocal style and he was one hell of a sweet guy to me and everyone that I ever introduced to him, and I think I sing the loudest when the Ramones are on, so he certainly has a place on my list...Gabba Gabba Hey! :angel:

rbs

[jadegypsy]

forgot Donnavan (spelling?), just got into him, but love how his songs relax me...

[xdreamsunwindx]

I forgot Joe Strummer (RIP) and Frank Black. Damnit.

And I also forgot Dylan and Jagger. And Michael Stipe. -____-

[rbs3676]

OH!!!!

I forgot...

The fabulous and wonderfully morose MORRISSEY...I adore him.
I simply adore him...:xoxo: :xoxo:
There is always some kind of Smiths/Morrissey song played either in my home or in my Jeep at least once everyday...cause there is a light and it never goes out...:nod:

Also ya listed my favorite named singer of all-time: Brian Johnson of AC/DC...How can you go wrong with such a great name???

[Johnny Stew]

Richie Sambora is a great singer...Proof is his first solo album "Stranger in This Town", Better album than anything Bon Jovi or Jon Bon Jovi solo-wise has ever released.A friend of mine had that album, way back when, and I LOVED it.
Never had much use for Jon, but Mr. Sambora is definitely very talented.

[cliffdweller]

10) Paul Weller


What a great choice. I forgot about him.

[ontheEdgeof17]

umm....

Lindsey
George Michael
Ryan Cabrera

Scott Simons (The Argument)

Justin Tranter

[cliffdweller]

George Michael

Just this morning I saw the video for "Somebody To Love" from the Freddy Mercury memorial concert back in the 80's/90's? OMFG!! He was f'ing fantastic! He should be touring with Queen not that Bad Company guy.

[CreepingDeath]

You're kidding right? :laugh:

I mean, sure, I like his attitude and all, but vocal ability he ain't got. He's an awesome guitar player though :thumbsup:.

You're right of course. I actually debated if I should put him on my list. His voice isn't all that great, but he makes up for it in other areas, so it doesn't bother me as much as some people.

[dissention]

Ryan Cabrera


I find him quite frightening. Something about him screams queer crystal meth addict with bizarre sexual predilections.

[DavidMn]

Lindsey Buckingham
Peter Green
Kelly Jones
Walter Egan
Bono
Bob Welch
Nick Heyward

You got a lot of that right, I think, except the queer part. As for the whole package deal, LA is overflowing with that particular flavor of trash. So much so that I am tiring of shoveling them over my shoulder looking for the real men. And you wonder why I end up with South Americans and Aussie Sheep Farmers.

[dissention]

You got a lot of that right, I think, except the queer part.

I don't know, there are plenty of pics out there of him seemingly dry-humping other appropriately funky looking dudes. If I saw him on the street, I'd instantly take him for a flasher and walk the other way.

As for the whole package deal, LA is overflowing with that particular flavor of trash. So much so that I am tiring of shoveling them over my shoulder looking for the real men. And you wonder why I end up with South Americans and Aussie Sheep Farmers.

Don't forget the divorced duds that you end up with, either. ;)

Ya know - it used to be the Club Kids, the whole Nirvana tripe, etc. Now, it is these in their own heads too cool for the room - falsely erudite (I know this because I have conducted surveys :laugh: ) swooping front hair, aloof kids who think because their voice has a little pain in it (no doubt from the night before) - they are artists. If I were capable of being gagged, I would be.

Hey ! Can I help it if I am a 'newly gay guy' magnet ?

Issues aside, at least there is some testosterone flowing in those veins.

And some of them aren't duds at all, and you have heard ample stories to attest to that.:laugh:

[strandinthewind]

Hey ! Can I help it if I am a 'newly gay guy' magnet . . . .

You are just a magnet and I am steel.

Ha, I was just going to say that the nouveau queers must rock your socks off because of all those pent up homosexual urges.

I know, honey, I simply forgot the "e" in dudes. :laugh:

[The Tower]

Oddly enough, men usually don't cut it for me in the music department. There are a few, though.

Robert Plant
Stevie Wonder
Steven Tyler
Steve Perry
George Michael
Jeff Buckley
Chris Cornell
Eddie Vedder

That's about it.... Elton John is for piano and songwriter, not so much the voice. David Crosby is brilliant at times, but he's too all over the map. David Bowie can be brilliant as well- however, I find his vocal stylings to one dimensional. Mick Jagger has got ****ing passion all over the map, but he's not a very good singer. Michael Stipe is awesome, but too one trick pony. Mellencamp? Yeah, but only occasionally stirs me.

Eh. :shrug:

[strandinthewind]

Oddly enough, men usually don't cut it for me in the music department. There are a few, though.

Robert Plant

. . . .

His voice is so unique it is a freak and force of nature.

[The Tower]

His voice is so unique it is a freak and force of nature.
:nod: He's hot.

"The Rain Song", "Kashmir", "The Immigrant Song", "Ten Years Gone", "In The Light", "Since I've Been Loving You", "The Song Remains the Same", "The Rover", "Gallows Pole", "When The Levee Breaks" and on, and on, and on, and onnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

[dissention]

His voice is so unique it is a freak and force of nature.

His voice leaves me cold more often than not. I like quite a few Zep songs, but overall, he doesn't do it for me. Though I'm sure my list left many people aghast, so we're even. :laugh:

[strandinthewind]

. . . Though I'm sure my list left many people aghast, so we're even. :laugh:

and you,in general, hate everyone and everything :p :p :xoxo:

[strandinthewind]

. . . "The Immigrant Song",

My friend and I were BELTING this this weekend - I was doing the WAAAA HAAAA HAAAAAA AHHHHHHHHH part in a fighteningly high key. People stared - but on we went. Oh Well.

"When The Levee Breaks" and on, and on, and on, and onnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

SHEEBUS :woohoo: :woohoo:

[dissention]

David Crosby is brilliant at times, but he's too all over the map.

I can't believe I forgot Crosby. I hereby amend my list and make him #11.

David Bowie can be brilliant as well- however, I find his vocal stylings to one dimensional.

You suck. :p Oddly enough, a lot of my favorite vocal performances from him over the years have come from his past couple of albums and his live DVD of the Reality tour ("Life On Mars?" is one of the most gorgeous things I've ever heard). "Sunday," "Cactus," "I've Been Waiting For You," "Afraid," "Slip Away," "New Killer Star," "Bring Me the Disco King," "Looking For Water," "Fall Dog Bombs the Moon," "Something In the Air," "Pretty Things Are Going To Hell," "Hallo Spaceboy," etc. All more recent songs and some of his best vocals, imo.

[Serrart]

His voice is so unique it is a freak and force of nature.

Yes, I don't know how I forgot to put him and Mick Jagger on my list... :distress: :rolleyes:.

Romy

[Serrart]

David Bowie can be brilliant as well- however, I find his vocal stylings to one dimensional.

I've always found one of the most nuanced rock vocalists.

Romy

[Serendipity]

when most of the names you listed are very good (Yes, Richie Sambora is a great singer...Proof is his first solo album "Stranger in This Town", Better album than anything Bon Jovi or Jon Bon Jovi solo-wise has ever released.)

Also ya listed my favorite named singer of all-time: Brian Johnson of AC/DC...How can you go wrong with such a great name???

Sambora is an excellent singer, I love "Stranger in this town", went to Bon Jovi three years ago and he sang "I'll be there for you" and I gotta say...best vocal performance of the whole show.

Cool to know you love Brian Johnson as well. :D

His first solo album If I Could Only Remember My Name is excellent, with "Laughing" being my favorite song (Joni on phenomenal background vocals is hard to beat!).

You suck. :p
This is news???

Oddly enough, a lot of my favorite vocal performances from him over the years have come from his past couple of albums and his live DVD of the Reality tour ("Life On Mars?" is one of the most gorgeous things I've ever heard). "Sunday," "Cactus," "I've Been Waiting For You," "Afraid," "Slip Away," "New Killer Star," "Bring Me the Disco King," "Looking For Water," "Fall Dog Bombs the Moon," "Something In the Air," "Pretty Things Are Going To Hell," "Hallo Spaceboy," etc. All more recent songs and some of his best vocals, imo.
I love David Bowie. Love. However, for me, it's his songwriting and the overall style of the complete package that gets me going- not his voice. He's a good singer, but he doesn't kill me.

I've always found one of the most nuanced rock vocalists.

Again, I love him- but, he just doesn't send me. It's kind of like vocally I love Lindsey, but I worship Stevie.

Ryan, get your ass in here and talk about Brandon....cuz that crush is 10 times worse.
He's also 10 times hotter than Cabrera. :wavey: That kid's hair scares me.

Besides, Brandon plays the synthesizer. Everyone knows thats cooler than guitar. :nod:







:lol:

[dissention]

That kid's hair scares me.

Yes!! Bless you for saying that. It's just so...high. Hair is very important and he looks like someone who stuck their finger in a light socket.

My favorite solo album is Oh Yes I Can. A lot of people seem to hate it, but I think it's tops.

[Richard B]

:nod: He's hot.

"The Rain Song", "Kashmir", "The Immigrant Song", "Ten Years Gone", "In The Light", "Since I've Been Loving You", "The Song Remains the Same", "The Rover", "Gallows Pole", "When The Levee Breaks" and on, and on, and on, and onnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn
You got the Led years covered...but he continued to rule solo!

Yeah!! Heaven Knows, Big Log, Sea Of Love (Honeydrippers), Tall Cool One, 29 Palms and so much more.

I have all his solo albums, but by that time his voice had changed. Ten years of shredded his vocal chords while smoking cigarettes, drinking and doing coke really did a number on his timbre. Manic Nirvana and Fate of Nations are great albums.

I have to admit, his last album with The Strange Sensations was one long bore.................. *** snoooooooozzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzze ***

The exact opposite is true for me. :)

I'm such an idiot......

I forgot Ian Astbury from The Cult. (!!!!!!!!) He really gets my juices flowing.:blob2:

Ever heard his duet with Debbie called "Lovelight"? It's quite good and the lyrics creep me out.

No, I haven't heard that one. Why do the lyrics creep you out?

"Fire Woman" and allllllllll of Sonic Temple get me going, baby. He's sexalicious. Although his latest weirdo trip with The Doors is borderline pathetic. Too bad.

[dissention]

No, I haven't heard that one. Why do the lyrics creep you out?

The seven sisters and the seven sons
At the gates of heaven when day is done
But the seven sisters all have sinned
And old Saint Peter won't let them in
Come drink the cup that fills me up

Like a wall of fire and a sea of blood
I'll climb the mountain and escape the flood
When lies are torn we hear the horn
Beyond the pale of love's prevail
I see my lovelight coming after me

I just find them incredibly creepy, especially the way they're sung in such a sinister tone most of the time.

Although his latest weirdo trip with The Doors is borderline pathetic. Too bad.

I haven't heard it and now I'm not sure I want to. Sounds as bad as Todd Rundgren with The Cars.
