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.

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)

Listening to his voice on "Shopping For Blood" gives me an erection. One of the best Franz songs, too.

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
