[Officer Pete Malloy]

Sam Cooke

 

[Jack White]

I'm partial to Nat King Cole.

 

[Officer Pete Malloy]

Nat King Cole

 

[rockaction]

Otis Redding

 

[Ilov80s]

Good choice, I lean Van Morrison though. He could do it all.

Grungy garage rock

Smokey style falsetto

That classic slow love ballad ####

Classic uptempo dance/soul

 

[Jayrod]

Geddy Lee.

 

[Jayrod]

Billy Corgan

 

[Officer Pete Malloy]

Otis Redding

 

[RBM]

Tony Bennett

 

[SaintsInDome2006]

Caruso.

 

[satch]

I once read that Steve Perry was a big Sam Cooke fan an often shaped his vocals with Cooke in mind. Now I can't listen to Sam Cooke without hearing multiple phrases that sound exactly like Steve Perry.

 

[PIK95]

Eddie Kendricks or Ozzy in his prime for me. Mike Stipe probably had the best sound later in his career imo.

 

[Insein]

Tony Corgan

 

[dickey moe]

Ozzy in his prime for me.

 

[Native]

Yanni

 

[squistion]

I'll take Tim Buckley and his 5 octave range.

 

[satch]

Otis Redding

Which song(s) would you point me to? Not that I'm unfamiliar with Redding, just curious which songs you think define his claim to best vocals of all time.

 

[Ghost Rider]

Steve Walsh (before he ruined his own voice with smoking)

 

[satch]

Good choice, I lean Van Morrison though. He could do it all.

Grungy garage rock

48 seconds into Masked Man and blown away. Never listened to Van Morrison much, not for any particular reason. Thanks for opening my eyes- or I suppose ears would be more appropriate.

 

[Tiger Fan]

Dylan

[BustedKnuckles]

Tiny Tim

 

[On The Rocks]

Sinatra

 

[Doug B]

Pretty far into this thread without a mention of Freddie Mercury.

Nominee for best bass voice of the recorded music era: Paul Robeson.

 

[Insein]

Janis Joplin

 

[The Gator]

Chris Cornell

 

[Doug B]

Eddie Kendricks ...

Strong call. Motown was so stacked in the 60s -- Kendricks, Smokey Robinson, Levi Stubbs, Marvin Gaye.

 

[Maurile Tremblay]

Kim Jong-un.

 

[Dentist]

Man it just doesn't get any better than George Michael in his prime, the range.. Unreal

Steve Perry

 

[Raider Nation]

Sinatra

Yep. I've thought Groban's voice was pretty spectacular also ever since I saw him on Ally McBeal...

I put both of his appearances into one clip. Not the most masculine fella in the world, but that voice is a gift from God.

Justin Hawkins

[Jack White]

Chris Cornell

Best voice of the 90s grunge era, without a doubt.

 

[Parmcat]

Barry White

Leonard Cohen

 

[RedmondLonghorn]

Pretty far into this thread without a mention of Freddie Mercury.

Chris Cornell

Best voice of the 90s grunge era, without a doubt.

Great voice, but i like Eddie's a little more. Hunger Strike with the two of them is amazing.

 

[skol asylum]

Robert Plant is near the top of this list.

 

[Hagger]

Sammy Hagar. No one has the combination of his raspy tone and passion.

The best Van Halen song that no one seems to know of:

Leonard Cohen

The True Detective guy?

Jack Russell

Seconded or thirded or whatever.

[Jack White]

Johnny Cash

I've really just become of fan of his in the last few years.

The stuff he recorded late in his life just blows me away.

 

[skol asylum]

Yeah, his rendition of Hurt is haunting.

 

[Ilov80s]

Good choice, I lean Van Morrison though. He could do it all.

To be a great vocalist, you have to do it live as well

well, I'm caught one more time...
