Some of you have some warped ideas of who is a good singer -- but if we're just talking about the role of "vocalist" then I guess singing ability is a trait that would be below showmanship.

Agreed. Freddie Mercury was a great showman, but he wasn't really a fantastic singer. I like vocalists who have a bit of range, passion, and can hit difficult notes... the kind that you couldn't hope to mirror if you're singing along.

My favourite would be David Coverdale from Whitesnake:

Start at about 2:07 if you're impatient... 2:44 if you're really impatient. 10 seconds later he hits a pretty amazing note: it's powerful, in tune, and modulated. This is a guy in his 50s who's at the tail end of a 2 hour concert.

raymor · 10-01-2011, 07:43 PM

Did any voice before him have this kind of energy?

In terms of vocalism alone, nobody but nobody was better than Brad Delp. I would put him up against Pavarotti, Domingo, and Carer... Carre...That Other Guy and day.

GregE · 10-01-2011, 08:35 PM

The man could scream, croon or just simply speak words with nothing short of devastating effectiveness.

Personal favs, Muddy Waters and Etta James.

I'm actually surprised to see Karen Carpenter listed here, But I agree with you 100% on that call. AMAZING SINGER!!!!

Brad Delp was actually the first singer to pop in my head when I saw this thread. He was under rated.

Upon further reflection I'm gonna have to through Geoff tate of Queensryche in this mix, in the eighties he was the guy all singers wanted to emulate.

My absolute personal favorite is Roger Daltry, this may be due to my wearing who records out one after the other. (When they were actually records)

Steve Perry is the most obvious choice as the winner for pure voice.

Coverdale indeed. When talking that kind I have to mention Sebastian Bach too

btw, I am still the only one to even give Dio a mention?

Caligari · 10-02-2011, 04:31 AM

Danny Elfman - great live performer and amazing composer

and early Mariah Carey. insane voice.

Caligari · 10-02-2011, 05:04 AM

last but definitely not the least - Bryan Ferry, Roxy Music

The Porn Nerd · 10-02-2011, 05:46 AM

John Lennon, greatest voice in music ever, period.

NewNick · 10-02-2011, 06:06 AM

Florence Welch

Yngwie · 10-02-2011, 06:43 AM

For rock.hard rock the singer of Steelheart, Miljenko Matijevic would be one I would put in the class of greatest vocalist.

Also Bruce Dickinson (Iron Maiden), Geoff Tate (Queensryche) etc.. etc..

"Imagine" certainly have him great lyrics to sing. That song will inspire even me toward being a socialist weenie for about four minutes. ;)

Hah, I saw Jesus Christ Superstar in play form with Bach playing Jesus - he did a hell of a job and was a wild singer, so good mention there.

Queensryche singer is a good call too.

Paul&John · 10-02-2011, 12:30 PM

Definitely Enrique Iglesias

Rebel D · 10-03-2011, 09:09 AM

I agree with a ton of these.

New Editions-

Bruce Dickinson
Sabastian Bach
Roger Waters

LongBucksVip · 10-03-2011, 09:14 AM

Freddie Mercury as for me.

Tom_PM · 10-03-2011, 09:30 AM

These days I'm liking IU. She has a 3 octave range. Probably never break out in the western world, but she does a few english covers.

In history? Maybe agree with Boston. Because even my one brother who doesnt care for rock and roll or pop music liked Boston because of the vocal expertise.

She's cute - not even near Freddy Mercury's league, though. I did check her out and ended up wasting an hour, so thanks for replying

. Too cute and sweet for me, though.

Boston - forgot about Brad Delp. I agree - the guy had a stunning voice. Tragically, he took his own life a few years back. Sad.

Tom_PM · 10-03-2011, 10:53 AM

It's kind of funny to watch her play guitar when her fingers barely reach around the neck. One of those self taught wunderkinds.
