Favorite Male Vocalists...

[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.

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

"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

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.

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

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.

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.

This is news???

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.

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

He's also 10 times hotter than Cabrera. That kid's hair scares me.

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

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.
